Accounts compromised via phishing sites.

Protip: avoiding phishing sites is easy. Just use common sense. If you get a PM like this:

Spoiler

It's pretty obvious that you shouldn't be clicking that shady looking link.

 

[CoolOtamegane]

You should.... Never.... Trust.... Anyone... EVER!!!

 

[Akarroa]

I only access mangadex through a bookmark in case I ever misspell it in the address bar. Do you think I'll be okay?

 

[Qelix]

Ask to be friends. The fastest way to get banned.

 

[Ivegotnolife]

Should have known my first friend request would be a bot! I saw the message then got a request from a banned account so I just denied it.👻

 

[Mr_Detective]

Just got a friend request like this yesterday. Didn't accept, but checked the profile and clicked on the link out of curiosity. Thank god no virus, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy what I saw.

That same account was banned when I checked just now. I hope mine isn't compromised.

 

[4EVA1]

Same here got a friend request and check this page to whats about.

 

[Samhill]

@Mr_Detective @4EVA1 You're giving them what they want. Views. This shows that their method works and will continue to use it.

Joke's on you bots cuz I got no friends *walking backwards finger guns out the door*

 

[Setsuna-chan]

I got a friend request and his name sounds like he is a Romanian(from Romania).
I rejected this request.

BAN and NO MERCY.

Suggestion:
And maybe make a validation of new uploaded chapters (I'm NOT talking about Captcha or some custom I'm not a robot) but a validator that checks if the pictures are identical (20pictures of the same ad) and identical size.
Or that checks if there is only 1 (small) picture uploaded (with and 1 pic ad). Check the size here as sometimes they upload v.big strips of korean manga, but these are usually 2pages.

And I also got a friend invite... felt good, but the paranoical me would check the profile of the guy. He was banned, so I rejected.

@anon_whos_not_a_fag doesn't 2fa require a mobile phone? not everyone owns a mobile phone

 

[Tatsuya-Kai]

@anon_whos_not_a_fag
Probably people who don't use smartphones, but i can see why most people should.

@AMicrowave didn't see this comment, but yeah i reiterate what you said.

 

[7Lotus]

I also got a fake friend request. I checked his account and it said banned. Instant reject.

 

[Oneesamaa]

So that's why. I thought it was weird that someone wanted to be my friend.

 

[ariqcs]

i got my first unknown friend request, im so happy and sad at the same time because he was banned. hahaha!

 

[monkey123]

I don't accept friend requests anyway. Only from users I know. Others should give me a good reason to accept.

 

[azerez]

glad i use install gentoo

 

[Nobody-desu]

I also get a friend request but being a mangadex noob I am, I just thought mangadex just recently add a green people icon beside username, and I thought it was pretty so I just leave it be. Now I know it is a friend request icon and I am glad I don't accept it.

 

[hecatia]

Oh wow, clicking random links from strangers in [current year], as expected of redditors
