If you're registered on the site... be careful about the emails you respond to. The article talks about the phishers trying to trick people into loading onto their computer "monster.com job tools" software that is actually a malicious trojan horse.

Thanks for the heads up kitty lady. Tera is registered on there and I'm sure she would have installed something from them.

Holy cow! I don't want to quote the whole site... so read at your leisure. It seems the hackers wanted more then simple info (name, address, phone number & email) so they made their phishing emails look like it was coming directly from monster.com and asked/phished for more personal info.

Jeesh. I really wish people had more constructive things to do then steal from other people. <blah>

Oh my god! According to the articles you mentioned, over 1 million online records had been stolen by the people who hacked monster.com! :eek: To tell you the truth, too many people get away with hacking websites! :angry: (Like the Turks that have hacked this site in the past)
