this came to today in a pm on this forum. who else recieved this?
I'm afraid it's a hacker trying to hack my account.

how can i report him?

Lol looks someone else already cleaned the account. :p

i hope u didn't login...it could be a keylogger or something like that. i already heard someone got hacked that way. be careful.

Wtf, you can't get keylogged by logging onto someone else's sro account.

yea that could happen too

no, no it cant.

keylogging is when a program already on your computer recording what keys you press and in what order.

IT DOESNT HAPPEN FROM LOGGIN IN TO SOMEONE ELSE'S SRO ACCOUNT.

Wow no you can't. You login via your own version of the exe. Someone can't download a trojan to your comp from logging on to an unmodified version of the game.

Its pretty real to me...but its cleaned out...

well...i don't know if it's a keylogger or not. i just hear that someonegot hacked after a guys gave him an account.
I got this in a pm on this forum...and i can't believe someone would just give away his account to some stranger on a forum.
i heard about too many ppl getting hacked in so many ways that i don't trust anyone anymore.
just be careful guys with what do u with it.

Lol what an insane notion: How could an account on a game carry a keylogger?

I rekon it's a bit more likely to get hit on your dome with a small meteor.

But most importantly why would you post the info that was pm'd to you?

I think it may have been cleaned out prior. I checked the account about 5-7 minutes after the thread was made. As in, perhaps someone hacked the account (via bot of course), and then gave the information away? I dunno.

because i got it from a complete stranger.
now...wouldn't u be a little suprised if someone just gives u an account?
i wanted to know if anyone else got the same msg as me...and what should i do.
is there anything wrong with what i did?

No lol I'm not giving you a hard time...dunno bout the rest. Just saying, it's probably legit. And when I say probably, I almost mean it is.

What you posted

What you should have posted:

legit to give away an account...yes I think it is. but to a friend....not so someone u don't even know.
i sent him a mesaje after this and he replyed with the exact same info.
now...I don't know how all this looks to u, but i don't believe there's anyone so generous.
u may be right, uBeR...I don't know.
maybe he expects me to take the account, use it...so that later he can clean me out...
anyway...I don't want it. i don't trust stuff like this. there's no such thing as "easy money".

The account is usless since you don't have the answear to the secret question and as such can't change the password.

And since it's aparently cleaned out, you can't do much with it unless you have friends on that server that are wiling to borrow you some money or equipment.

wats the point every1 on this forum may know the p/w now.

i think the owner want u to help him lvling his char
in this case, use it to murder ppl
what's the point to own an account that u dont own the secret question? someday the owner will take all your stuffs....

EDIT: i tried to enter login with the account, ans i said that someone is using it....
well after read your posts, i decided to scan my pc for spyware and got...."perfect keylogger" in c:\windows\system32\rinst.exe and something that disable windows security protection.
The owner changed the password.

Well, make sure u scan your pc for spyware after login to that account. Just a WARNING!

Thx NuclearSilo. I hope u won't have any problems.
I guess the topic can be closed now. after all, it was a keylogger.

somereason, ive heard of that account before

lol @ zypher's response and sig.

wow that's... really weird... .. how it was a keylogger..

I'm betting that file was already on his comp being that logging into a server via a game, ie sro, and a keylogger auto d/ling is impossible. That and if you look through NSilo's posts, he doesn't seem to bright. No offense.

i edited my post...for everyone's safety.
i don't one someone blaming me for getting hacked. keylogger or not, the account seems useless.
Nuklear...please do the same...

lol nuklear u are so mean.
And yeah, it's really weird to think that it could come from logging into an account. Very unlikely, since you're not really downloading anything or installing anything... far, far more likely it comes from visiting some free p0rn sites posted here lol, or, heck, more likely that SRO comes with keyloggers in it than u get it from logging into an account imho.
EDIT2: BTW @ Original poster zypher quoted u....
DAMIT nuklear not zypher T_T. Athens flag gets me mixed up .

Done. It's still illogical that you even suspect that's possible. I changed the info so people won't mess w/the acct, not for safety's sake.

thx.
u were right. I shouldn't have posted the pass in the first place.
about the account...I don't want to have anything to do with it. u guys take it and do whatever u want with it.
thx for the advice and all the help.

He had the keylogger before he logged into the account ...

And i guess it is a scamm atempt. He gives you his 'cleaned' account without the option to change the password. Then he waits for you to get equipment and money and then cleans you out
Well if you are total noob you would be more than glad to take the account and maybe even forget about the posibility to change the password

ROFL so many noobs on these forums / SRO. "Don't login you can get keylogged from logging into an account!"

Hey guys don't touch your keyboard because new hackers install the keylogger into the keyboard!
