Well folks since square has done nothing to inform anyone of this. Since christmas of last year there has been a ongoing phishing scam. At first they disguised it as entering a draw for 700 mil gil. All you had to do was goto the youtube video and follow the link. The link took you to a clone of lodestone prompting you to login which went nowhere.
What you basically just did was give them your login information. After a bit this disappeared. Then the phishers came back with a new one. It says that square shouldnt ruin the game at this time by updating and points you to a website that's the same exact clone of lodestone designed to do the same thing. Get your details.
Now you might think stupid players. Yes while they should be more careful, lots still fall for it. I keep reporting the PM sent to me to the gms but the same response and nothing happening. Lately I'm afraid to say this has started to effect free companies as well. Some of the jacked accounts were officers who had access to fc chest.
I have a friend who found out her account was being played on someones ps4 in another country. Thankfully she got it back. Since no one is calling attention to this I figure I should. So people are warned about this and warn others. They try to use a website disguised as a official square enix one but you can easily spot it's a fake. Here is the recent site they use.

Alot have fallen for this link because they dont read after the .com where it has -letters.pw.
Please spread awareness because lots of paying customers have fallen for this and nothing but silence has come from square nor has anything been put in place to enhance security. I suggest you and your friends start using one time password to protect your account so you dont lose all that work too.
