Thanks a lot for exposing the subterfuges! They tried to get me too... Luckily, I didn't click on anything and followed the inherent wisdom that seemed to be calling me not to open it.
Namaste :)

I felt that too. And it was FEAR, tiredness and feeling under pressure in that moment which led me to ignore my instincts. I posted the full story yesterday:

Really hope my mistake doesn't negatively affect others.
I would like to challenge you on that last statement. How others feel is their responsibility. What does negatively effecting others even mean? On the contrary. Your mistake is HUGELY BENEFICIAL to others because you are sharing it. It's helping me tighten up my security.
I was thinking about the hackers using my account now to trick further people. The number of followers and high rep works to their advantage by making people think they are authentic.
But you are right of course, what has happened here will ultimately lead to improved security features on the site and heightened awareness of the importance of security for all!
Thanks again for your support Danny ;)
"Experience" is the name we give to our mistakes!
You said it. Always learning. And for sure this experience has taught me much!
