Iain Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I've seen some odd behaviour at the login page for the last 10 days or so. When I've entered my username and password, it's returned a message indicating that I've used the incorrect password. I entered it again and everything was OK. On the first couple of occasions, I wondered if I had genuinely made a mistake but latterly, I've been VERY careful not to make a mistake. I wondered initially if it was some sort of scam - some malware intercepts the password, generates an error message on a page identical with Hak5 login then I'm asked to re-enter the password which takes me to the correct site. This behaviour ONLY occurs with Hak5 and not with any of the other groups that I visit, nor my Hotmail account. The only difference that I know is that I don't store the Hak5 password for it to autocomplete but the rest are stored. I've done Spybot and AdAware scans (clear) and my AV is up to date. Any ideas?

deleted Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I have seen this too. I have been out of the hous lately doing jobs and things over the summer. Luckily most places had Internet Terminals that I could use at lunch. I had to log in each time beacuse I deleted all Private Data (they had firefox). I checked that I had typed the Write Thing. I even (when nobody could see), copyed and pasted the password into notepad and it was right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 OK people, I need way more details here. Enough to replicate the error. I think it might be related to a SMF bug patch that was superseded but without the exact details of when, how, where and so forth, i can't do any more.
