How to protect your Rapidshare Premium Account from Phishing

Many Rapidshare premium accounts were phished recently. Below are the steps and safety precautions you need to know to protect your account.

1) Be extra cautious when someone uses link protecter that hides the real download links of the file. The real Rapidshare download link looks like this: http://rapidshare.com/files/111111111/xxxxx.rar

2) If you come upon a Rapidshare Login Page, open another tab using your internet browser, go to rapidshare.com, turn to the login page, and see if it asks you to login. Did it ask you to login? If not, now you know the other one is fake.

3) Enable direct download in your Rapidshare premium account option’s page. The download box should pop up instantly every time you click on a Rapidshare download link. If you get redirected to Rapidshare Login Page, you know it’s fake.

4) If you got tricked, instantly change your account password and logout.
