    There is going on a 'Optifine Cape Giveaway' by the Optifine team, on the website optifine.support/CapeGiveaway/, although this site has stolen the original code fromoptifine.net to look legit. THIS IS NOT LEGIT! Proof:

    a. Different hosting service!

    Optifine.support is hosted by Cloudfare, as seen here. http://prntscr.com/399be8
    Optifine.net is hosted by Hosting Services, as seen here. http://prntscr.com/399bk7

    b. Stolen code, menu bar links.

    All these menu bar links take you to optifine.net, but the scam is on optifine.support.

    c. Any User/Pass is okay for the .php script, which saves your credentials to the website!

    Ex, I tried to login with 'Banana' and 'Bomber' which was accepted, and later found on a decrypted text file in the directory of the website! Along with 200 other accounts!
    ..
    Conclusion: It's a scam. Spread this post everywhere! On your walls! Now! Tell people not to go there and change your passwords if you have put your credentials in! NOW! BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

    Written and originally found out by ~ Casual ~. SPREAD THE WORD!!

    Basically, A website stole the code for Optifine.net, making it look like the optifine website, when you enter your credentials into the website, it saves them. Whether they are fake or not. If you did enter you're username/password into this website, then I suggest changing your password immediately.

    Everyone should change there passwords on every site because of the heartbleed bug.

    Hehehe. It will soon be blocked on Internet Explorer too! :D Screenshot (8).png
    P.M. me if you want to know how to report a website! So Internet Explorer can foil their plans! :)

    Thank you for warning everyone! :D

    It takes time to come on here and to type out these paragraphs and its very nice of you to take the time to warn us. I just recently purchased an optifine cape (I'm enjoying it much!) and I did see this giveaway right after I read this post! I might have fallen for it! :confused:

    Again thank you for the warning! :D
