Phishers Steal Thousands of Tumblr Logins

Users are being redirected to fake login pages

Another day, another major hacking scandal. This time, microblogging service Tumblr is the victim.

Over the past few days, an aggressive phishing attack has targeted Tumblr users, using fake login pages that promise to show users “adult content” if they revalidate their account credentials. According to GFI Labs Blog, the pages involved are all Tumblr users who have previously been compromised. Once their accounts are hacked, their Tumblr homepages are redirected to the fake sites. Three domains are known to be involved in the scam: tumblriq(dot)com, tumblrlogin(dot)com, and tumblrsecurity(dot)com.
