drop.org?

[pdstein]

I happened across a site called drop.org today. The site claims...

"Drop.org is an active community of web enthusiasts that exchange ideas and experiences about the latest developments in web technology."

If you try to login, at:
http://www.drop.org/module.php?mod=user&op=login
it says, "Enter your drop.org username, or an ID from one of our affiliates: Blogger, Delphi Forums, Drupal, Jabber, Manila, Yahoo."

I've never heard of any site having a cross-registration with Yahoo, Blogger, or Delphi. It seems like it might be a scam to get passwords. What do you think?

I've e mailed it to Yahoo , but My firewall said 'virus alert'and blocked it

It looks iffy

[pdstein]

That's a good idea. I should have thought of that. I look forward to hearing their response.

You try as well, like I said my Firewall Blocked transmission (Sygate Pro) Would be a good idea to take it out of the breakroom and put it in a main SE forum!

Certainly does sound like some sort of a scam. For the time being, I've moved this post into the Security Watch forum.

OK, I misunderstood your previous post. I've filled out the contact form at Yahoo and will see what they say about it.

I wasn't sure if this would be appropriate for the main SE forum since it doesn't really have to do with search engines, but it would get a wider audience there and I suppose the mods can alway smove it if they don't think it should be there.
