Phishfest refers to an event involving the stealing of several MFGGers' passwords and the subsequent hijacking of their accounts.
The Story
Early on April 20, 2006, an unknown person made an account on MFGG and posted a link that when clicked, would send the user to what seemed to be the log-in screen of MFGG, this however was no ordinary log-in screen. If the user was to enter his/her username with the password, the Phisher would receive the information. Kitsune Yamato was one of the ones to be a victim of the Phisher's first attack, along with Duckboy and also some others. The phisher used the stolen information and logged into Kitsune's account, and put the HTML in his sig hoping to infect others. Eventually, Trasher took care of this problem. But this was not the last of the Phisher, He later around noon of the same day joined again, and started the madness all over again, embedding the HTML in the sig and posted in the topics about the situation, so when a member would enter, he would be brought to the log-in screen. This time, Paratroopa was infected and used. As a result of this, MFGG was put offline. Thunder Dragon and other officials are currently resolving the problem. The forum was back online by 5:02 PM Central that same day.
The Identity Revealed
Due to the reluctant cooperation of Draco Icebane, ShadowMan revealed to MFGG that the phisher was long-time MFGG 'hero' and member, Mugenmidget, who was also Nintendogs (minus a select amount of reincarnations, controlled by Kaepora) along with a host of other notorious "members.' He was immediately permabanned.
