Reminder about security!
Just a heads up!
You may or may not have heard the talk going around fansites but there is talk about a security issue around all fansites. What happens is a user would PM you with a broken image and if you click the image or respond to him/her then it logs your Habbo information (from your cookies) to this user.
This is a heads up that if this happens (if you get a message from a user with broken image) to please report the Private Message to the moderators so we can take action. If you happen to accidentally respond or click this image please delete your cookies, change your Habbo password and then report the user to the Forum Moderation Team.
Whilst we are discussing security this is a reminder to users to check links before clicking them (hover over them). For example;
http://i54.tinypic.com/6z4vue.jpg
If someone has used a tinyurl.com link to hide the hack then add preview. infront of it e.g. tinyurl.com/f378f turn into preview.tinyurl.com/f378f which will show you where the link goes before you go there.
Remember, keep safe!
