#FFXIV there's a quite competent phishing attack going around right now. you get an in-game tell about a 300 million gil giveaway with a link to a twitch channel. the twitch channel has an about page that links to a very convincing looking forum post - the sneaky bit being the forum is hosted at forum(.)square-enix(.)com-bx(.)top and any login there is NOT to an official square enix site, you should NOT use your info on this site

i genuinely almost fell for it, if not for my password manager's plugin claiming i didn't have any accounts on the site.

@noiob you can trick a human but you can't trick a machine into misreading a URL

@MindmeshLink I wouldn't be so sure, parser bugs are a thing
