[to those who play on multiple servers]Secure your passwords...

[Aragorn]

Yesterday on forums took part an illegal connect on one of the accounts (boxfever10) with changing its profile/writing unban request with admitting "armour hacks"...

For illegal actions against our user was banned user Ben_Jizz from forums and server...

The information which came:

One of the SA:MP servers (closed already) spread the data file with the accounts of its registered users... So everyone who wanted could just get this file and use the passwords against its owners... Among those users were Argonath members... Ben_Jizz got the file from others and used the password of Boxfever10 on Argonath forums...

We want to pay your attentions to your passwords... If you register your account on other server do not use the same password... Also do not use the same password for forums and server... The owners of other servers can be just not honest to their users... Do not forget that most of them - the same teenagers, who have no idea about internet laws and etiquette... And think if they shut down their server they can spread all data on their users...

Note please, this is not the first time, when registered on other server Argonath user was "hacked" on our forums by simple dirty attitude of the owners of servers who have access to your datas through their server files...

With this, please, those who use the same password on different servers - check it and change it to the different ones...

That's why I always use stupid passwords such as "spankmycrank" in other servers.
Pay attention guys and use simple passwords in other communities, in who's owners you are not certain. Many dishonorable people among the internet, you have to be careful, because we hold no responsibility if your password is hacked (having in mind it is your fault, not ours)...

Thanks for the heads up, Aragorn.

[SeanC]

To be honest. .I use same password on my server. .So I'll changed my Argonath password soon. .Thanks by the way Aragorn.

[MyleS]

This is important, thanks Aragorn, i usually use messed up Passwords too.

[Frederick]

Same as Alsatian.  At least here we know our leaders are there for us.  

[MikeUK]

I just changed my passwords. Thanks for the warning Aragorn

[Dr J. Cohen]

I never trusted Ben Jizz I tried to warn certain people but they ignored me.

[Jubin]

  At least here we know our leaders are there for us. 

They are where now? Holland? France(probably not)? Where?

God, I love the English language : ))

[MarioRinarri]

Going to change the passwords just in case..

[Boxy]

RON, info for you on that server that Ben got info from.  The GM/server files were stolen and leaked by someone working for the host.  Many people downloaded it, which means that they have access to that info.  I'm going to warn the server now.

[Watti]

righto....

Umm just a point.. Noob servers Who let passwords fly by them, can be charged, because ANY one of those passwords can probably get into the FBI/CIA/Federal Government Computer Data Base, Also into credit cards and Bank accounts.

So, Dont download them, you can get charged and arrested.

[CM Daniel]

So which server leaked the account information?

[SargentJosh]

 servers really shoudl consider MD5 hash system

[Marting_Riggs]

he also created 4 servers and tried to get some of his friends to joined i helped him a bit and i noticed he kept accessing files i did not know why though now i do he was a good friend to me but then he attacked a member of Gvardia (idc who it was could of been any 1  or gang/mafia member) witch almost led to Box getting kicked out i am glad i investigated

anyway i changed all my passwords

Thanks Aragorn
