The said site we observed was

www.http://567gu.com/

The site looks and feels exactly the same. Even the popular stories and front page links are the same. Only once you give your account details, a copy of the same is passed on to the hacker or stored somewhere for him to use and mess up your account.

While the evil people behind this would not be specifically after your account, why take the chance. Keep your eyes open.
