“DATE MY IM” Steals Your MSN Passwords

These few days, I have received many spam messages from my windows live messenger contacts. The message contains a hyperlink (appears to link to an image).

The link goes to a page showing a “DATE MY IM” form, asking your msn email and password.

Well, it looks almost exactly the same as “Pics for MSN Friends“, which I previously wrote about.

Same trick, but never fails to work. *sigh*

If your friend is sending you the similar message, please ask them to change windows live password.

“Never give your password to anyone. No one from Windows Live Mail will ever ask you for your password.” (via http://help.live.com/)
