I'm back again with another comprehensive guide. This time, I'm going to go over something that's absolutely rampant on today's warez forums: Rapid. Share account phishing. So this is what happens. You're just browsing through your usual favorite forums, downloading as you please, and then suddenly, on one of the topics, someone points out that a post has phishing links, and then a moderator closes it. Well, that's great for them and all, but how about you? How do YOU know it's a phishing link? How do you protect your account in the future when there's no one else to say if it's a phishing link or not? Of course, our awesome Mods here at WS tend to catch these links, but they need your help to make it a safer forum for everyone! Fear not! I have quite a few precautions that I'm going to lay out for you guys that I can promise will make sure you don't get your account stolen/phished, and I guarantee a 1. Why am I spending so much time doing this? Because I love KATZFORUMS, and enjoyed the community since the day I joined, and I'll be damned before I see this place go down the drain to scammers and phishers. How do I know so well what's phishing and what isn't? Let's analyze what exactly phishing is. Phishing (pronounced . While these emails may look and sound official, they are, in fact, an attempt to scare premium subscribers out of contacting rapidshare after their account details. There has recently been a spate of RapidShare phishing, and to thwart this, we want to inform and educate the users for all warez forums and ddl sites. Below i am mentioning the procdure to hack a rapdishare premium account. Phishing Procedure: 1. First of all Download Rapidshare Fake login page. This is commonly used on banking/credit card/Pay. Pal- like sites, in which someone logs into to what they think is the real site, but their details are sent to the scammer. These people don't suspect anything, because once the scammer has the login credentials, he can have his phished website redirect the person to the real site, and have them automatically logged in using the credentials he just stole. It's an ingenious idea, but is utterly dangerous and very angering to us unsuspecting users. The biggest flaw of RS that scammers exploit is the ability to be logged into an account from multiple computers. I'll explain more as to how this related to Rapid. Share as we go on. So, now that you know what phishing is, here's the ways you can successfully fight it. I'll include both Pro's and Con's of each method, but using them all together is the absolute best way to prevent any sort of phishing, 1. I'll also include a section at the bottom to help you out if your account has already been compromised/stolen, and what you can do about it. As usual with my guides, it requires no third- party software (which I rarely ever trust) and no hacking. So, let's begin. 1. Lock Your Account (No, Really)Rapid. Share recently launched a new safety feature called the Security Lock, which is giving account- stealers quite a headache . Essentially, what this does, when you enable it from your online Rapid. Share account, is lock down your account to unauthorized use. It sends the email account registered to your account a confirmation number, which locks the account. This prevents from anyone changing the password/email address, or using your hard earned Rapid. Share Points. If it locks them out, how can you change those details and use your Points? Phishing Software - Free Download phishing - Top 4 Download - Top4Download.com offers free software downloads for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android computers and mobile.
All you have to do is log in to your account through the web site, click Unlock, and another confirmation code is sent to your email, which allows you to change those details or use your points. You won't notice a thing when you're downloading, and it's really easy to do!* Stops intruders who have compromised your account from changing the password, or the registered email address* Stops intruders from using up your hard earned Rapid.

If your account has already been stolen/compromised, please proceed to the bottom of this post.- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 2. Set Your Account Up To Directly Download: What does this mean? It essentially means that you don't go through the screen that asks you if you'd like to download as a Free or a Premium user. This shows up by default, whether or not you're logged in as a Premium user. You've all seen it, but here's a quick screenshot of what it looks like, just so you know which page I'm talking about: This is so that you can thank people by downloading a small file (uploaded by them) as a free user to earn them points. As good- natured as it is for you to do that, it poses a security threat. The most common form of roping people into giving away their account details is to use a . Because a phishing site obviously cannot have the same URL as the original site it's phishing, it poses a problem for scammers as to how to get your login details without you suspecting anything. So under the pretense of a . So what are my suggestions? First, go into your account settings for Rapid. Share and enable Direct Download. This way you can be sure you're clicking on a genuine RS link because the moment you click on it, it will initiate the download, since you are inititating a direct download. Check the URL of the link you clicked on. If it says ANYTHING other than. Code: http: //rapidshare. Where the *'s are numbers and a file extension, it's a phishing link. Here's a few visual examples of real and fake links. Fake (These were taken from actual phishing links. Although the URL's are obviously wrong, don't scoff at people for falling for it. The screen they saw at this URL was the exact same as the Free or Premium Download page above. Would you have spotted the difference if you weren't looking at the URL? Source for links: KATZFORUMS Recycle Bin)A REAL Genuine Rapid. Share URL: If it still shows the screen but it's a genuine Rapid. Share link, then it's a possibility that you logged out. When you log in, RS saves a cookie on your computer to tell the site that you don't need to log in as you've already provided the correct credentials. Logging out deletes this cookie from your computer: Power users may search through their Cookies folder to see if it's there or not.* 1. Makes it even easier to download from Rapid. Share by removing that intermediate step of having to pick which download type* If you'd like to thank someone by download a file as a free user, you cannot do that in this scenario. You need to log out of RS first, then download it, and log back in, or go into your settings and uncheck the Direct Download each time you want to thank somebody. It's not quite a bad thing, it's just a lot of steps.- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -3. Keep an Eye on Your Traffic Logs! Rapid. Share has given you many tools to watch for abusive activity on your account. One tool is an IP Logger found in . So how can this help you? It's all numbers to you, right? Essentially, what an IP Address is a household- specific address that identifies your internet connection. It's kind of like a family name that identifies who you are. All you have to do is use a free web service to find out what your IP Address is. I personally prefer. Code: http: //whatismyipaddress. Write that down, and compare it to your traffic log. Each time you see that same number on your log, it means the download came from your computer. If you see an IP that doesn't match the number you wrote down, it can mean one of two things. One, it could mean you downloaded something yourself from a different computer in someone else's house/work. Two, it could also mean somebody has already compromised your account and has been using it to download for themselves. How can you tell the difference? Use the site mentioned above, and paste the unknown person's IP into the box. You'll get a pretty decent explanation as to where the person's IP is based, such as Country/State/City, so if it's at someone's house you know or is at work, you know it was you. If it isn't either and is from some place you know you've never even been too, it means your account has been compromised and is being used. Use that information as well as the information from the IP Lookup to report it to Rapid. Share for fraudulent use. Here's a picture comparison of a clean account and a .
