| | Dear all,
We have been made aware that phishing emails have been sent to some of our members,
asking them to log in to "Bricklinks.net" (note the s in the name)
This is an attempt to get people to share their BrickLink login information.
Please do not try to log on as there is a risk that the information will be
used to illegally access your BrickLink account.
We would like to remind you that we have implemented OTP (One-Time PIN) which
is an additional security that even if they have gotten access to your username
and password, they will not be able to access your account if you have turned
on OTP.
If you have not chosen to use OTP, we advise that you consider doing so in the
future. You can read more about how to turn on OTP here:

Please update your BrickLink password regularly and make sure to use different
passwords for different platforms.

Will this option (OTP) be available to sellers only?

|
Because they would've to buy hundreds of domains, like bricklinks.net, bricklinka.com,
brick-link.net, bricklinkk.net, bricklinks.org...
Plus some may already be taken and put for sale at $100,000 ea - so no, it's
not easy.
|
The official Bricklink strategy is to simply link all the similar websites. Just
need to be patient as they are already a bit behind on projects.
