---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sage Ross <[email protected]> Date: 2009/7/22 Subject: [Wikitech-l] Watchlistr.com, an outside site that asks for Wikimedia passwords To: [email protected] I'm not sure what to do about this; it seems like a good idea but a major security risk: http://www.watchlistr.com/ is a site that creates aggregate watchlists across multiple projects. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Bounty_board#Transwiki_watchlist_tool The user who made it has very little editing history, and the site aggregates watchlists across multiple projects, but requires inputting your Wikimedia password into the watchlistr.com site. I have no specific reason to think it's a scam, but if I was trying to phish passwords I would do something like this. -Sage Ross (User:Ragesoss) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
