I got a tell from someone in my FC with a link. He said it was an update on the stuff that would be changing in the 5.4 patch. I've only been playing for a couple months and this is my first MMO, so I didn't know if that's something that SE usually does, and he was pretty active in the FC and friendly with everyone else, so I was like okay, cool! Copy link into browser, enter username/password, get taken to error 404, read link, "fuckshitgodi'msuchanidiotihatemyselfwhathaveidone". I went to the Management Page really quickly and changed my password/activated one-time password, but I'm still really worried and embarrassed.
I can't believe I fell for it. I knew phishing scams were usually, like, gil giveaways or whatever, and I would never have followed the link if it was just some random guy. If I had taken a single second to look at the link it would've been obvious that it wasn't real, but since he was in my FC and seemed nice, I just blindly went along with it. The guy said he had gotten it from someone else, which seems weird, so I sent a message to my FC leader on Discord. He seemed like a solid dude, though, so I feel bad casting suspicion on him if it isn't his fault.
In the end, it's my fault for being completely brainless. I still can't believe I clicked on it AND entered my info. It didn't even autofill, which should've been 600 red flags to begin with. So stupid.
Is my account safe? Is there anything else I can do to make this not be so bad? Should I just go ahead and cancel my subscription now and blow up my account so that it's a quick, painless death? Should I hire a hitman to take me out and frame this guy?
You are all entitled to a "that was stupid, you're stupid, it's your fault". It's true, and it's fair, and I definitely deserve it. Would also appreciate some reassurance while you're at it, though.
