Theres someone in the game calling himself Gmsecond who keeps asking people for their username and secret word saying their account is being used by others etc. etc.

Be warned

There is also a Guideulul (presumably owned by the same person who owns Gmsecond)

Hey Mag I recollect that day dude, when dat damn hacker was impersonatin a GM. Sum1's been able to hack my ID's n delete my chrctrs witout me givin de passwrd out man. They dnt evn kno my login ID. If sum1 has hacked u hw cn u b responsible man? I hav been so patient wit de guides, GM's n A3 peps cos its close 2 O.B. But at least after dat if nothns dun. Man I dunno wot 2 do.

Easy to hack accounts with only characters as passwords dude...
Brute force/dictionary are now lame but effective tools to doing this...
if you DO want to safeguard urselves...put a character password of not less than 8 characters...that'll take the dictionary about 2^8 years to crack(im guessng these hackers are not part of the elite Amedeus groups ) so they'll have lousy tools at their disposal.

Best is to use alphanumeric password...it STILL aint safe but safer!!!!

Btw anyone here knows anyone in Amadues?? Those guys are pretty helpful in catching newbie hackeers(who are more crackers than most)..
bent on doing destructive acts on the web.

those who DONT know what Amedues is or what im talking about..dont bother!!! Just play it safe

Brute forcin a3 servers? Im pretty sure theyd have SOME sort of a safety mechanism to prevent multiple server queries.... after all its not an offline authentication. And it will take MUCH MUCH longer as each query has to be sent to the server. And whoever it is will get screwed cause their IP will be there... unless they use a proxy tunnel which not many people are smart enough to use.

And amadeus is blown a bit of porportion to what they accomplish IMO. Theyre not the legen people make them out to be
