Hello again everyone,

Our security team was able to get the original bricklinks.net site taken
down, but we got reports this morning of a new bricklinks.org site and
evidence that phishing emails have been sent to our users, directing people to
this new site. The new site is much more realistic (see image below).

Please log in ONLY to bricklink.com and be aware that an effort is being
made to steal your BrickLink credentials. We will keep you updated if this problem
persists.

The BrickLink Team

It opens directly to a pseudo login page...
Now people will be crazy again about Security

Maybe a good idea not to loose focus on Help Desk and BrickLink communication
(Notifications with confirmation and history on site!) for instance?

yeah its a typical scam site. Nothing works but the "login"


My browser wants to translate it from French (despite everything visible being
English) so I guess theres french somewhere on the backend of this garbage. I
guess scammers out of Canada or France. *shrug*

"testing" for several hours to increase the efficiency of
1 function by 1/1000 of a second

Hello,

Today I received 4 phishing emails from site brickslink.org. This new site looks
like exactly that your screenshot of bricklinks.org.
