    Default [warning] security breach [warning]

    Hello all.

    We have reasons to believe that one of our Administrator's account has been compromised by a hacker.
    Just wanting to let everyone know NOT to click on any links that could be posted by an admin until this has been cleaned up.


    YoHoJo's account has been banned by the Administrator (BenLand100) for what we believe was to stop YoHoJo from slowing him/her down.

    YoHoJo has just confirmed that BenLand's account was compromised.

    Code:
    (23:55) · YoHoJo · Confirmed
    (23:55) · YoHoJo · "yeah, someone hacked it probs. got your text. what msn were they using/ just change the password to something random and tell me what you changed it to lol, i'm going back to sleep"
    (23:55) · YoHoJo · ^ BenLand100
    Just be careful until another administrator clears this up.

    IRC:
    Code:
    (00:25) · Wizzup_ · p.s. no evidence of him downloading a db
    Keep safe!

    Let this be a reminder about password security and ensuring that your PC is protected as much as it can be.

    Justin.

    Thanks for the heads up, just out of interest can the affected admin(s) push srl changes with the assosiated password?

    Or is it limited to villavu?

    Wizzup? has secured Ben's account. Ben is aware of what has happened.

    @DannyRS -
    Code:
    (00:12) · [J]ustin · What about github ect, could the hacker push updates?
    (00:12) · Wizzup_ · [J]ustin: no
    No. SRL and Smart are safe and secure

    Justin. Thank you for being so vigilant. I though it wa odd that the account posted about buying huge amounts of gold. I just didn't follow it up.

    Thanks again!

    E: repped for saving vill

    I thought something was off when Ben made a post buying RS gold. "Since when does Ben play RS??"

    Wanted to buy GP
    Wanted to buy Membership + BloodPounder Pet
    French/European IP address
    Refused to message me on FB

    Then he deleted my thread in Staff section with evidence etc. and banned me lolz!

    I informed staff and Wizzup took care/is taking care of it.
    He (hacker) claims to have villavu database etc, but Wizzup is calling bs (so far).

    Stick around on the IRC for more updates, or Justin can keep copy/pasting things to you.

    The fact the first thing he did was make a thread about gold or something publicly ( I cant view the market so Idk) makes me doubt that hes smart enough to have accessed any database's

    And if he didn't even try to mask his IP to bens country, then I'd say Wizzup is right

    Hope Justin keeps us upto date because I'm in a class and cant get on IRC from phone

    Fixed and de-repped for public humiliation. :P

    Everything has died down really, Wizzup has gone 'afk' because he is busy.

    I am off to bed. Just wait for/if (when) the announcement is made.

    IIRC, if Ben used the same password for GitHub as he did here (Which I highly doubt he did), he technically could push out bad code. However, I don't think this kid knows what he's doing. He doesn't have the database.
