I farkin nearly did but caught myself.

Consider me a goose. But thought if I had to enter my details I'd just go to the site and something didn't look right.

jaytyn · 03-18-2003, 12:16

That URL appears to be a genuine CBA address? how can entering details there be compromised?

laminge · 03-18-2003, 13:29

/me not a putah geek, but unless you see the little lock down the bottom of page when entering any passwords or ids, then stay well away.
