A problem with asking someone for their gmail password to sign into malwarenet.org is that it seems very suspicious. Why does malwarenet.org want my password? I bet I can guess - they want to steal my email, find my bank account numbers and identity fraud me. Oh, it doesn't work that way, right right, but how can any one without exceptional technical skills know that for sure? Lots of site spoofing out there.

Hell, opendns is giving me a spoofed ip address for google right now. What is that about, I thought they were secure. What else on my DNS service has been hacked? Bank sites? Probably.



1) Unless I am misunderstanding the standard, malwarenet.org never asks for your OpenID password -- your OpenID provider does.

2) Why does malwarenet.org want your Facebook password / to connect with your Facebook account?
