Or "Secrets on how to make a huge amount of money as a host!", or the like. Something that basically sounds unlikely and scammy, but naive hosts may fall for it.
Well, I am one of the naive hosts. This happened to me just yesterday through a LINK posted in the Community.
I got a notification from ABB about a login from a different com[puter in the USA while I am based in Jordan (Middle East).
I changed my password immidiately, but after that the hacker signed in again !
I checked my account and listings and found:
- in each of my 3 listings a message that if someone wants to book to use another email address;
- the "notify my when a listing has been changed" or something like that, that box was not ticked anymore, so I would not get any notifications anymore;
- the hacker was creating another (4th) listing in my account for an appartment in New York;
- my account was connected to an apps with name: Lithium Community. I have no idea what that is.
I deleted ALL changes and changed my password again.
I have reported everything to ABB. They were working on my case and would contact me very soon.
All I have noticed is that my listings can not be found anymore. But NOT ONE WORD I heared so far from ABB.
