Yes but nowadays it’s a huge gambling machine with 5v5 matches in the middle of each wager. -
@iiii Agreed, but I think especially younger gamers are likely to fall for it, since they tend to be more social with their peers and less SecOps literate anyway. So I like to notify whatever forum or chatgroup I'm part of when I encounter something like this, just in case it helps at least one person somewhere :D

Did you say security?
10 points for next century option.
If any of you play counterstrike or have friends that play counterstrike, watch out for a scam where a friend might ask you to vote for their logo/team on some bs "varsity clash whatever" site.
The thing pops up a fake steam login window and tries to phish you as far as I can tell. It's even styled as a Window window (which is fun when you're on linux like me)
I made a throw away account just to test it and I got some fun logins from Russia, though I revoked the access fast enough so that I retained control.
as far as I can tell the site only exists for a couple of days according to WHOIS and all the steam login assets are hosted on some unrelated non valve server...
This PSA is not really for the more skilled and careful people here, but I thought I'd stick it here for the possibly lurkers and less experienced users just in case.
