Why you shouldn't give away your msn.

[John!]

What if you want to give it out? And so what, no ones that stupid anyway.



And even if that wasn't the case, people shouldn't fall for it because its so obvious. And you can easily download it, scan it, then remove it if it is a virus.

They send them in zip files, which can contain pictures.

Yeah... the pictures INSIDE the zip/rar file.

It's a shame to know people still fall for stuff like this. ;l

I give it out to people i've spoke to for a while. Actually, I give it out to anyone who asks, haha. It's common sense really what not to accept from people online. I can see why people would fall for this but it's only their own fault. I suppose if you want to be really safe then don't add anyone online but providing you're safe and have common sense it shouldn't really matter.

I only add people that I've known for quite a while and I love

This may seem obvious to a lot of you but some people might not know.
Even if you are friends with someone on habbo it's best to keep your friendship inside habbo and not give your msn to them. Some people makes plans to gain a habbos trust, add them to msn then send them a virus such as a keylogger (something that logs every key you press so whoever sent it you knows your passwords)
A lot of the time they will tell you it's a picture or a scripting program for habbo. They do this to find out your habbo password or passwords to other things, they can gain access to your habbo account and steal your furni and credits.

Be careful :angel1:

There is absolutely no harm in reminding everyone, good advice

The thing is though, a lot of Habbo users are young and probably wouldn't know about .exe or any kind of filetypes for that matter. Younger people also use Habbo to meke new friends etc.

Spot on REDNECK, we all have to learn at some point, some learn when it's too late, so it's good to be reminded that not everyone asks for your messenger for the right reasons

I had a thread about this how keyloggers and other stuff are coming up as 'pictures of holiday.zip' and well, they're hidden.
Not many people will know...
It's not as if there's:
"HEY IM A KEYLOGGER DON'T DOWNLOAD ME" written all over the file :rolleyes:
