Default Re: Careful what you join

I was invited to join a very popular website. First part of the registration process was to give them my e-mail address and password. I stopped right there.

Since then I have wondered how many people actually gave them their address and password.

I knew it was only a matter of time before the hackers would mimic this registration.
