[Panther0ps{A|R}]

There was a hacker on tonight that has taken over an eGO profile i will not say the name but they will try to get u to Visit a web page through STEAM and it will upload a Virus on your PC

They might look like ur friend but beware

 

[Prince Abu]

Why wont you say the name?
Isn't that the crux of the matter?

 

[St Anger]

i demand details!

 

[frap]

Thanks for the heads up,

but unless you are hiding something I would think you would say the name?

If there is a hacker you need to take a demo of that person and submit it to the Division Leaders and Council so they can evaluate if that person is hacking. Please do this if you sincerely believe unsaid person is hacking, thank you. These kinds of threads arouse unhealthy suspicion. So please, if you believe someone is hacking, contact our superiors.

Also be sure to check HL Stats with the steam ID you should have taken and make sure he isn't an impostor.

Not an in game hacker. A hacker on steam, outside of games.

Thanks for a warning. but why wont you say name?

 

[OSVG]

Oh.... My bad

 

[Booster37]

Yes. Why not say the name? It's pretty clear this may be an eGO member who fell victim to a flase site and gave their info to a hacker. It would be much safer and expected if we knew the name.

 

[BlackJoker]

Give the name before more fall for this, dont hold the name because you think its the right thing to do. Always give full details when a hacker is involved, unless you want to be responsible for more hacks from said hacker.

Maybe it's his friend how is doing it, and it is in fact an eGO member, and he just wants to protect his identity.

 

[panda monium]

if this is a major matter, contact council. otherwise put up a thread in the eGO forums so we all can be on the look out.

This actually has happened before. I remember a while back that it has happened. A response to it from what i remember is. For the player to notice what has happened and quickly change their account password. Also, try not to download things from sites. I have my computer set, so that every time something is about to downloaded or loaded onto the computer. It has to ask for my permission to do so before loading such material.

EDIT: Please send information to a Council member. Also, Panther. Considering you're part of the CS:S division. Contact MostlyHarmless or Wal-mart Security about this because i will be out of town for the next 3 days or so at the beach. Don't know if i can hope on a computer to do anything.

Yeah, last time this happened to an eGO member, they had a maxed out friends list and someone ended up scamming about 20+ accounts, so you might want to tell us who sent you the PM. They usually just go through the entire friends list sending links to a fake steam site and all of the groups, and they just go from there and spread.

This happened about a month or two ago, and I know a lot of people who had to go through a lot of trouble to get their accounts back, and most did not. If an eGO member sent you that link, there is a 99.99% chance that they are not the original owner, and their account has probably been stolen.
