    Recently links have been being shared around skype through playerup users, I don't know if these links are malware or a virus or something dangerous, however I do know this, the links get spread to everyone on your skype if you click it and it keeps doing that in a loop, I reccomend not clicking it at all and making sure to leave a message saying its a virus on the chat just incase so you remember not to click it after. THESE LINKS ARE SPREADING FAST AND CLOSE TO 5% OF MY CONTACTS ALREADY GOT IT.

    IF you have already clicked it I recommend following these steps:
    1. get on a new computer, Don't touch or transfer anything from the one that clicked the link(NO FILES NO USBS HARDDRIVES, NOTHING)
    2. Make sure the computer/device hasn't been on the wifi that clicked the link.
    3. Once on log into skype/playerup/emails/ whatever is at risk, Then change the password (MAKE SURE TO LOG IN AND NOT DO FORGOT PASSWORD)
    4. check all the websites that are already have info stored (the ones that stay logged in even if you close browser and reaccess) if they are still logged in, log out(do this on the old computer which clicked the link, After you have changed all passwords.

    u need to log in to delete old cookies so the hacker cant access if they have it, doing this ensures that



    cross reference everysite on everybrowsers cookie list
    to make sure your safe 100%
    even better is to do all that
    then reformat
    but if you not able to just do that stuff atleast you have some protection

    Also run malware bytes scan and Windows defender/Avast scan on your PC for threats.
    Run full scans when you go to sleep because they take very long
    might take 12-15 hours depending on how many files you have and how many profiles



    I know formatting is bad, will spend more time on it later but just wanted to get this thread out to alert anybody who might fall for it. I don't not actually know if this is a threat or not but if it is it can be a big risk to the playerup Market place as well as other playerup users. It could honestly be nothing but a prank but letting people know will be good in-case it is actually a threat, if you have stuff that is important that you don't want #/lost/ given to some random foreign hacker, You should follow some of these steps to protect yourself and your clients (if you a seller), This is especially import for SE'ers and Refunders as we have a lot of information of our clients stored somewhere and we wouldn't want that in hands other than ours.

    EDIT: Lmao I just put the thread link in my skype mood with the words "DONT CLICK SKYPE LINKS" right before it dkm.
