It&apos;s a very common form of &#8220;social engineering,&#8221; to use the polite term for it, and often easy to pick out: If you&apos;ve ever received a poorly-spelled email warning that your mailbox is full and telling you to &#8220;click here to increase storage space,&#8221; you know what I&apos;m talking about.<\/p>\n<p>We should all know better by now, but as we noted a couple years ago, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/phishing-emails-are-still-a-big-danger-to-pc-users-even-in-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">phishing emails are still a big danger<\/a> because of the sheer volume of the things, but more importantly because of their <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hackers-are-improving-phishing-attacks-by-having-you-chat-with-sock-puppets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increasing sophistication<\/a>. Bad spelling and weird fonts are easy to pick out, but sometimes it&apos;s honestly hard to tell what&apos;s legit and what&apos;s going to cause you a very bad Tuesday three months down the road.<\/p>\n<p>That seems to be the case here: No information about the malicious post itself is provided in the update, but Steam user Keijokainen said in the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/app\/238960\/eventcomments\/4366878568235511270?snr=1_2108_4__2107\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">comments<\/a> that the link led to a fake registration page for a Path of Exile 2 beta test. The scam site was &#8220;pretty well disguised&#8221; according to Keijokainen, and &#8220;a higher effort than normal scam attempts.&#8221; Another user said the link led to &#8220;pathofexiie.com&#8221;\u2014note the sequential &#8220;ii&#8221; rather than il, which is sometimes easy to overlook at a quick glance\u2014rather than <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"http:\/\/pathofexile.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pathofexile.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Making the phishing post more believable is that a Path of Exile 2 beta <em>is<\/em> on the way: It was recently delayed from June until &#8220;<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/path-of-exile-2s-beta-delayed-from-june-until-later-in-the-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">later this year<\/a>&#8221; but it&apos;s not unreasonable that Grinding Gear Games would be taking sign-ups for it now.<\/p>\n<p>News of the phishing attempt has <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/pathofexile\/comments\/1c9sdm1\/earlier_today_a_malicious_news_post_containing_a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sparked discussion<\/a> about whether the phishers would be able to bypass Steam&apos;s multifactor authentication (MFA), and the answer seems to be a definite maybe. The login credentials could be used in the standalone Path of Exile launcher if it&apos;s been set up to work independently of Steam, and while PoE will apparently send an email verifying a login if it comes from a new IP address, several users say that system is inconsistent at best. Of course, it&apos;s not just the risk of your Path of Exile account getting hosed that&apos;s an issue: If you use a shared password across multiple accounts, they&apos;re at risk too.<\/p>\n<p>If you didn&apos;t hit the link there&apos;s nothing to worry about, but if you did (or even if you&apos;re just not sure) then follow Grinding Gear&apos;s advice: Change your password immediately and enable MFA.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/path-of-exile-studio-warns-of-malicious-phishing-post-that-appeared-on-steam-tells-players-please-take-immediate-action-to-secure-your-account\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grinding Gear Games is warning followers to change their passwords after a post containing a phishing link appeared briefly on the Path of Exile page on Steam. &#8220;Earlier today, a malicious news post containing a phishing link went up on the Path of Exile Steam page from a compromised account,&#8221;
