Differentiating between Original and "Fake" websites

Dear Maplers,

"Fake" websites are referred to as phishing websites. They pose as a danger that will catch unaware users by capturing their account login details if you attempt to login via the phishing website. Operators behind the phishing website will then make use of the details obtained to enter the legit and original website.

Please be advice that there is a new wave of phishing websites out there now in view to hijack your personal details. We have since received several reports from our friendly players highlighting this issue as well.

Please make sure that you only login to your Asiasoft Passport if you see the Asiasoft Passport Certicate. Only the true and original Asiasoft Passport will contain the certificate. Any phishing or fake websites created to mimic us and steal players' information will not contain the certificate.

Below is how you can identify the original Asiasoft Passport.

1) Make sure the URL is correct. https://passport.asiasoft.net/logon/login.aspx is the original website.

2) Check that the URL of the Asiasoft Passport begins with "Https" and not "Http". The "s" symbolizes a secured website.

3) Right click on the website and choose "Properties" to check for certification.

4) Click on "Certificate"

5) Make sure you see the certificate as shown below. Fake websites will not be able to produce any certificate at all.

Do NOT login to the passport should any of the information above are not available.

**Asiasoft Online will not be responsible for any form of lost arising from the use of phishing websites.
