Heads up about a fake anime streaming site that tried to steal my info
Three years ago, I was looking for a specific OVA and found a site called 'AnimeFluxHD'. It looked real, with a full list of shows. I made an account, but the login page felt off. Last week, I got an email from my bank about a weird charge from a company I didn't know. I checked, and that was the only place I used that password. The site is gone now, but new ones pop up all the time. How do you guys check if a streaming site is safe before you sign up?

Wait, you used the same password for your bank and a random anime site?

A tech blog I read said to always check for a padlock icon next to the website address. If it's not there, don't type anything in. I also look up the site name plus the word "scam" to see if others have posted about it. Using a password manager helps so you never reuse the same one. It's a real pain, but you gotta be careful with these random sites.
