It's eerie in a way

Your account gets hijacked, spreads the link to the site to your entire friendlist until one person is dumb enough to do whatever, then it spreads through that person's friendlist

Had a run in with someone who's account was obviously hijacked (@Soldato Joker to be exact)

Shit's horrible.
this has been a method for ages hell it's been a thing since people used skype as their main voip program

It's hard to think people still fall for it

But not everyone is as used to shit like this I suppose or are naive about the internet

This implies current parents know much about the internet

A lot of them don't. I reckon that'll change in, what - 10, 20 or so years maybe? Who knows.

Depends on a lotta things

I'm really fucking curious to click that link.
But I know that I will fuck up my steam friends list and most likely my entire computer.

WHAT'S BEHIND THE LINK, I WANT TO SEEEE - WHAT'S THE SECRET OF THOSE FREE GAMES!?!

Curiosity killed the cat

Besides, it's obviously either some infected site or one of those 'input your steam details for x' sites (Which basically stores it, gives it to a bot who then logs into your account and does shit like transfer items to a diff account, spread the site to other users and other crap)

its one of those login scams where you think its legit but you willingly input your information

Everyone should have the Steam authenticator btw, very important. No one can get into your account if you've got one set up.
