LOVES PHISHING GAMEZ AND SUCKERS!

As if there wasn't a bigger dick move to pull on people, apparently all those people who willingly gave up their email and some variation on their personal pin number (face it, we all have the same fucking password for everything) on Dreamcast.com's website were all suckers for a phishing scam.

Sega does not own the Dreamcast.com domain anymore. Their listed registration information on whois is false.

Congrats. Now, as that strange itching sensation starts to creep in on your butthole, you'd be well advised to ditch the new 012345678@dreamcast.com email you now own, changing your password on your regular email, and making sure you didn't do something totally retarded like use your social security number.

For future reference, please take care to note if the website you're divulging your personal information on has a secure site page. This is notated by the "https://" part of the address usually with some sort of LOCK symbol somewhere on your browser. If you don't see either of these, you're on your own, Cochese.

Well I'm glad I didn't divulge any personal information. I do have a brand spanking new Gmail account though. So that's good.

Wait...so giving out your social is bad? I thought that would improve the nightlife!

Dude, WTF? Like it's not possible for a phisher to get an SSL certificate?

The ONLY thing the lock and the "https" tell you is that your communication between you and the web page you're on is encrypted. It doesn't tell you the web page is in anyway who they purport to be.

Just when did this start?

about me

I own a FamPuter, which is a 100% fake Famicom. And I do own Super Mario Bros. and Rockman 2 for it, which you don't. :P

I'm a 32 year old gamer. I cannot hang out with most of you, and you should not contact me to buy you cheap wine or cigarettes. I do not like jail. Seriously, I own all three consoles and I don't discriminate. Gaming is for fun, not for sissy slapfights. If you consider yourself partial to a particular console, I don't care why you don't own other consoles, I don't want to hear about it. If you're going to bitch about something, you'd better bring some hard evidence of why you're complaining if you want to cry on my shoulder.

Enjoy this wonderful picture of 2 generations coming together at last...
