All those playing from cybercafes---BEWARE OF HACKING!!

Guys one sad news-Quanato archer Csrox got hacked today. He's a g7 bow archer a few lvls above me, and today when he logged in his account was cleaned out-no wz shue or items!!
This despite his not sharing password with anyone or anything.

He said he plays from a cafe-so the only other thing could be-either someone saw him typing password-or installed a keylogger of some sort.
The second type of problem is hard to defend against. Online virus scans detect em, but there are many stealth keyloggers available that snoop every keybeing pressed. S
Those of you who run cybercafes-I know at least 2 who do-simply make sure all game pcs are logged on with non adminstrator privilege accounts. A restricted account wil prevent ppl from installing arbitrary software, or any low level keyloggers like these.

And the rest of you-all I can say is be careful. Complain to the ppl running your gamedrome or whatever abt these things, and ask em to clean and scan PCs. Or, if possible try playing from home instead.

I hope none of you ever has to face this problem. It's sad to lose a good char like this, after spending so much time and effort.
:( :( :(

Sad to hear that. It makes you think why to play the game when there is no guarantee that you will see your character the next day. :(

Sadness...This guy is from my cafe...

The real Csrox plays not too often..Its being played by a cafe mate..
Well the guy says that the real one shared his pass with Yanaa..

So its so obvious he made a fool out of himself...

Suhail if u are reading this ..this clearly points out that u r an


*censored*

Never trust Yanaa as for anything ... Traps ppl very easily ...

So noobs watch out...

She will give lots of items free but..



Well coming to the next point..I'll tell u guys how to be safe if u r playing from a cyber cafe or a Webworld or any other insecure place.

Go to the change password page...Where it asks old pass and asks u to set a new pass...Well just type ur pass in the old pass block..
And in the new password block.. copy paste something from the page and edit 2 or 3 alphabets and remember it..

Open A3 ..type ur id and copy paste it..
Its kinda freaky and time taking at takes cuz cafes have the shittiest systems as of now..But neways better than losing the character..

U guys must hav figured out till now...I was hacked 3 times ..
So I had to figure out a way to play safe from cafes..

And yea change ur pass.regularly or atleast 2 3 times a week..

Hope it helps u guys

Ciao

REX U CANT DO ANYTHING WHEN THE CAFE OWNERS THEMSELVES INDULGE IN SUCH CRAP.

RECENTLY A GUY NEAR MY PLACE[A CAFE OWNER] GOT PWNED ERAL BAD BECOZ HE TOOK OVER 700MIL FROM VARIOUR RAG ACCOUNTS.

GOT HOSPITALISED LOL.

ALSO IF YOU PLAY FROM A NON-ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT, CERTAIN KEY LOGGERS ARE JUST EXECUTABLE FILES THAT NEED TO BE RUN AND THEY DO THE JOB, SO THE PROBLEM OF INSTALLATION DOES NOT OCCUR.
