This one almost got me — as I went online my dad sends me a link through MSN Messenger: http://lohanj.historyshotz.com. Sounds interesting, I thought, but as I clicked it I thought, whooaa, my dad never send me links, and I never heard of historyshotz, so what gives? A quick search revealed a that its a phishing scam designed to steal your MSN contacts to propagate and who-knows-what-else.
If you use Firefox, you’re safe:
I received this historyshotz thing today but no firefox warning popped up. Maybe the warning does not come on the German language version?
Herr Hans, I dont’t think that language should matter, its worth noting that I didn’t get it the first time either. A few minutes after going there again, Firefox alerted me. For what its worth, I’m using Firefox 3.0.1, the British English version.
