Ummm verification

[fAc3bOn3s]

So I go to reply to an image in the funny images thread and up pops a message saying I need to verify my login and password.

A username and password are being requested by http://208.106.228.199. The site says: "208.106.228.199"

WTF?

report it to

It's more than likely phishing.

edit: It also might be a picture that was posted, by MoeB of course, that requires registration.

It's safe to give out your username and password.

Put in a fake one to see if it works anyways.
