Beware of Dog!
Hi all,
It has come to our attention that someone has been messaging members of this group telling you to go to a website to "verify your IP". This is an attempt to gain access to your steam account, and under no circumstances should you attempt to "verify your IP". Steam allows you to log in on any IP address, and you don't need to verify anything. Again, this is a phishing attack to try and get your steam account details.
Unfortunately, because this is a public group, we are open to this vulnerability, just like all the other public groups on steam. Therefore make sure you take precautions to know who you are talking to if they ask to chat with you.
Remember:
- Steam will never ask you for your password.
- Steam will never contact you directly unless you request it for a particular reason (e.g. support tickets)
- Steam links are ALWAYS http://[something].steampowered.com/[something], and any other address is a false address.
---------------------------------
On a lighter note, welcome to the many new members we have seen join the group recently! It is good to see the group doing so well, and I hope to see and play with lots of freshers as they find out that they're coming to this great university!
Stay safe,
-- El Sid
