Password change

[Tonysounds]

Hey, this was a first. I went to get on the forum, and I received a google chrome alert that an app (didn't mention which) had a data breach, and my password for this site was compromised.

Sounds like a password phishing attempt.

So.....

 

How do we know you are the real Tony?

[Tonysounds]

Can you see the Real Me? Can ya?

[J. Dan]

So that hasn't been you posting all those threads on here about how much you love gigs where you can just hit play?

[Baldwin Funster]

Or........how do we know this is the REAL Keyboard Corner and not a hackers reconstruction in order to steal our keyboard corner passwords?

[Markyboard]

Fonysounds? That you?

The approximately 1,372 times I have listened to Quadrophenia has prepared me to play the entire bass part in my head after reading that.

He hasn't mentioned selling a Nord Stage yet, so I doubt it's him.

Didja get to see them do it live?

 

I saw the Quadrophenia tour they did in '96. It was awesome.

 

If you don't have the 5.1 mix of the the studio LP (and you're into such things), I can't recommend it enough.

I've seen those "alerts" and they are malware. Some display a dialog box that won't let you back to the browser, and I'm not clicking the OK button for fear it will download malware. So I pull the internet cable out and use Task Manager (WIN) or System Monitor (OSX) to kill the browser - and the dialog box.

 

Then re-open the browser without the internet connected, and it will re-open the tabs including the one that sparked the malware. Close all the tabs, close the browser, re-connect to internet, THEN re-open the browser. Viola, it won't open the malware.

 

Some news websites download malware covertly, PBS is one of them. Might be a tracking app but if it does not ask for permission then it is malware in my book. Very easy to see the download in OSX/Safari, OSX won't launch it and you can eliminate it pronto from the download folder. Then I add the website to my blacklist.

You sound surprised. Didn't you realise that this is the Key Word corner?

Good to know, thanks.

 

I got another today, for a different website, a grocery store (and I dont remember having an account, but it's likely I do I have a rewards card). It looks like a legit, but new, google alert, but i trust nothing. I just close the browser, and reboot. But I'm keeping an eye on everything.
