Exclamation Beware this site.

There is a phishing site going aroud MSN messenger.

Basically you see your friend/ sucker do the following:

Go off-line (if he/she is online)
Go online.
Send a link with a wink smiley
Then go offline.

The link takes you to a website that claims to show you who has you blocked on MSN messenger.
Asks for your username and password.
Voila!
You have been punked.

It will then go around doing the same thing to your friends from your account.
If you have fallen victim to afore mentioned site.
Just change your password.

Note that this has nothing to do with the OS, and Mac users are not immune to it.

More info here (its not the phishing site. but of course I would tell you exactly that if I wanted to phish you.)
