Do NOT launch files from untrusted sources!

We had an incident where some guy would join a TS and link a file saying it's an new cRPG calculator.
As expected it is a tool to get your serial number and email it to someone.
There are lots of way to screw you over if you launch any kind of software from untrusted sources.

Do not do that, ever.
This goes for every part of the internet by the way.

Make sure everyone is aware of this please!
In case you are one of the people who launched that file, contact me immediately via IRC.

Lesson for today is: Don't trust people you don't know.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

some guy

What an ass, honestly I can't take people that put up viruses.  And now, it's coming near c-rpg.  What a disgrace, I hope this guy get's his arms pulled out of their sockets; while cats bite his nipples off.

Actually this happened before with a "new and improved autoblock hack" :mrgreen:
Not sure it stole serial keys though.

change this:

News: http://strategus.c-rpg.net starting today!

To this:

Do not download anything crpg related by unofficial channels. There is no such thing as a new crpg calc.

Also:
Ban the guys from your ts that advertise this. Its an Ukrainian IP i think that advertised it on merc ts, he is perma-banned from our ts already.

Finally, i just clicked his link to the website. After i saw its from UA, i didnt click anything there ( this means NO offense against UA people :-) ).

Personally i thought about a virus...
Thx meow for the warning! Have you checked it with an virtual machine?

cmp checked it, reads the serial key from the registry and sends it to the distributor.

Which is why it's important to get your account insta global banned if you launch it since he can reset your pw and do anything with your acc you can do.

I don't trust Meow then. But as this also counts for you, I guess I'll trust Meow instead.

You made it, spread it, and now you try to give the devs a code they are expected to use?
