RMTs sending links to account stealing programs again

[KeitsukiTakahashi]

Exping today and i got a random tell from a guy.. of course i called a GM right after and got him down, but this was it

removed link to account stealing thing -- admin


now of course most of you aren't complete idiots and you wont go to it, but the people who are just out there and would go to this, please don't, this is a simple warning... if u don't wanna get your account hacked, don't be stupid. thx



like, how desperate do u have to be to ruin a game for people. fuck.

admin: changed forum title to make it more accurate

[Rhealana]

But.. it IS their secret.

Get suckers to click the link and hack their account, sell their crap and profit!

[KeitsukiTakahashi]

1. Hack account
2. Sell shit on the account
3. ????
4. profit!


but seriously.. its just annoying how they turn into the RL enemy for actual players.
i mean i'd rather put up with a million botters than this bullshit

[Tajin]

Old hack is old.
Thanks for the warning, for those STUPID enough to click it and get infected.

It is there, but it is named kinda bazaar. I am running Vista so it is in a different folder, but this is the equivalent to XP Application Data folder

Listen I think it sucks that people have lost accounts, but every time something like this comes up do we really need a new thread?

Yes, we do! I got that /tell and I was about to go to the website, but the OP saved me!

Every time anyone gets a tell like that, they should post a new thead on the Advanced board! (Make sure it's Advanced, no where else!)

For serious!

:rocl:

[Zansho]

Yes, we do need a new thread. Why you ask? Despite what anhone may all believe, there are plenty of people stupid enough to go visit that website with total disregard for the safety of their characters or hell, their computers. Could be they're web incompetent, could be they're just naive, but I'd rather have this thread up than have someone lose their accounts to RMT.

Uh, that's just the folder where ApRadar stores it's settings... has nothing to do with any of this.

Edit, cause I whooshed pretty good there.

It's not really a secret that Apnea has written some... less than reputable programs including things similar to what's in that archive, but I doubt he's behind the spreading of the keylogged versions. What seems likely is that he wrote the programs in question, which were modified to be trojans by whoever's spreading the links in-game. He doesn't really have the resources to create dozens of mules to spam people with tells, and sending around keylogged versions of his own tools would be kinda bad for business, if you get what I mean.

uhhh... bhmahler ?

uhhh... bhmahler ?

rhymes with jeffrey dahmer..ohshit...

yes I know it doesn't actually rhyme, be quiet

i'm fairly sure that's a common trick. if you use an app that actually does something to carry your payload, people are less suspicious of it than if it just "doesn't work." just pilfer someone else's work (you're already a criminal if you're engaging in digital trespassing, why would you worry about jacking someone else's bot?), drop your nasty code in it, and let the suckers roll in.

Yes we do need a new thread. There is an SE representative that does check this forum from time to time and anything at all that could help further push the dev team to pay more attention to the account hacking problem is needed.
