I find it nonsense that we're not notified on what kind of methods they take to get our passwords. Whether it'll promote more activity or not. Not knowing how it happened is the same as not knowing at all.
It's like 9/11 but saying "you don't need to know how the buildings came down, just take our word for it and don't worry"
It's horrible that you can even think of comparing the two. One is the taking of a few people's passwords, another is the taking of a few thousand people's lives. Words can't really express how angry that statement made me.
You deserve to be angry if you don't understand what he means. Hes NOT trying to say they are equivalent in scale. Hes trying to say they are the same in principals.
However, I must dissagree. Achronos did the right thing by not telling us what kind of methods they used. If he did, surely more and more users would try them.

Another thing to watch out for (That I have seen many times):
Look for Bungie/Xbox/Microsoft/Live in the URL, or make sure it is a site that you trust. If somebody sends you a link to a webpage you are not familiar with, and requires you to sign in with a passport/live id, It could just be a fake form made to look like Microsoft, and just send your password and username to the creator's email address.
And as stated before, NEVER send your password to anybody, and make sure you use different passwords for everything you have.
wow even though you might have made some new people do that.. THANK YOU! You have probably saved me, as nowi am going to check for that. Thank you VERY much.
