Title: Email attemted hijack after visiting chineese cRPG
Post by: Sniger on May 07, 2013, 01:43:50 am
just FYI... chineese crpg its not safe. (no shit sherlock :p)

i guess someone dont like my email address. the reason why i made it in the first place was cus some chineese had my unique name WITH surname registred. back when i created my gmail i wanted it to be [myname]@gmail.com. oddly enough i couldnt reg that address so i did a search on [myname]@gmail.com and got LOADS of [myname][number]@gmail.com all registred to china. so i got pissed and named my current email like it is now. 30mins ago someone in china tried to hijack my email. yesterday i visitet the chineese crpg... coincidence? i think not. ive had this email for like 3 years and this is the first attemt.

just a heads up

(mods: ive no idea where to post this, feel free to move it if need be)

You mean, visiting the Chinese cRPG server in-game, or do they have a website of some sort?

Chinese Population: 1.344 billion

Chances you installed something you weren't supposed to and now have a keylogger installed on your PC completely unrelated to CRPG: 98%

Do you have the Java browser plugin installed? Or an outdated version of Acrobat Reader or Flash? If so, then you don't really need to do anything terribly out of the ordinary to get infected. It just takes one sketchy ad.

I'm not saying that you are infected, just that it's fairly easy for it to happen.

Also - take into account hyphotetical situation:
1. Someone registered [yourname][1..56]@gmail.com.
2. You registered [yourname][email protected].
3. Quite likely that some mischievous person who has [yourname][1..56]@gmail.com now tries to carry on a usual and attempts to register the 57th email... SNAP - hijack attempt :shock:

IMO - dont click on shit, keep your shit up to date and stay away from dictatorships. IF someone WANTS to hack YOU - you are SOL, if not - you should be ok. :rolleyes:

nope all adds and plugins is updated. also i update my windows every single day or at least when they release updates. im very keen on having my system updated. outdated system is like walking around without pants.

im using netbanking alot and my bank have made a small tool that runs in background (systray) and it keeps an eye with all the meantioned adds and plugins like java, flash and so on and tell me when theres something that needs updating.

To be honest, it is because some drama happened there and some people had an issue with the CRPG server admin, then they got banned and get shit on by people verbally. So this guy come back and posted 2406 posts that have virus link or  some other shit in it. Took the forum admin a few hours to clean up, then he did it again, this time 6000+ posts, all with some auto registering posting program.
Sorry about the problem, server administrator has banned that guy's ip so there shouldnt be more problem visiting MBCN forum now
