| − | The 2006 Phisherman Fiasco was run by [[Mugenmidget]] with aid from [[Banana Head]] and [[Draco Icebane]], the latter of which was convinced by [[administrator|administrators]] to tell. It began with a test using an object tag to embed an iFrame which led to a fake login page. The user was also logged out, so that they would think it was a genuine relog page and use it if it came up again. This page emailed a user's entered name and password to [[Mugenmidget|Mugen]], who then logged into their account, changed the password and placed a matching object tag in their signature.

| − | [[Draco Icebane]]'s involvement in the ordeal led him to disturb [[Mugenmidget|Mugen]] by dropping hints on who it was. He was quickly assaulted by the [[administrator]] team, threatened, bribed, and politely asked until [[Mugenmidget|Mugen]] logged off of AIM, at which point he told.
