Habbo Hotel Preyed by Phishers

Habbo Hotel Preyed by PhishersHabbo Hotel is reported to have been attacked by phishers through stealing their user account names and details.  What’s deeply troubling is that the attackers were able to log users into the site.  The Habbo phishing page is ingrained with a script which passes the login details to the actual Habbo Hotel site.  Consequently, the user is automatically logged in to the service, leaving them clueless that a phishing attack has just taken place.
Habbo Hotel is a social networking website designed for teenagers. Habbo features chat rooms rendered by isometric projection in the form of virtual hotel rooms.  User pages on the website are linked to these rooms and allow users to share content and create groups with discussion forums.  Each user, called a Habbo, has a customizable avatar to represent him or herself.  The service gains revenue from credits bought with real-life currency. Credits are used to buy products such as virtual furniture for the virtual hotel rooms and stickers for user pages.
