New Method

[jakey,,]

Many people have been hacked due to the rpx token which is about social networking. This is a major exploit and any link you click on habbo will merge your habbo ID.

1st prevention:
1) log onto www.habbo.com
2) load client browser
3) clear all your internet settings, cookies, browsing history.
4) make sure habbo.com says your logged out as in your on the welcome page.
5) you can't get hacked by this exploit.

2nd prevention:

It's clearly a case of common sense.

Many habbos has been haxed in the past week. Even veterans who played habbo over 5 years.
So dont click any link even if its habbo.com or ******* beacuse some player *REMOVED* is stealing habbo IDs with link. I don't knwo how but peoples lost 1000 of coins and ultra rares, so dont clikc any links so far..

Just read this article on Answers Group:

An encryption exploit has lead to hundreds of Habbo accounts being compromised, it's emerged.

The exploit, believed to be still circulating, has infected hundreds of Habbo accounts since it came to light just after midnight this morning.

It's believed the flaw involves users stealing other people's sessions, otherwise known as session stealing, and involves the use of social networking sites such as Hyves.

Users are being advised to take a range of security precautions including using one browser to access Habbo and another to access other websites, and to entirely refrain from clicking suspicious links to avoid the exploit materialising.

Several fansites including HabboFunFM, have taken measures such as disabling image features whilst waiting for Sulake to implement a patch.

Speaking about the issue, one user said: "First of all, no-one is "hacking"

"They are using an exploit (Please complain to Sulake for this).

"Basically, when you click on "Remember my habbo" it stores this information into a cookie, which, is located on your computer. Then, they can use something like Javascript to access these cookies through services such like Tumblr which allow people to code Javascript for themes.

"It is Sulakes fault for not encrypting your data; misuse of the Data Protection Act much?

Victims to the attack have called the police for assistance on the issue whilst users speculate about the possible launch of legal action on Habbo for not securing data enough under the Data Protection Act 1998.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a Sulake Issue, which had led to this, NOT a User error.

What does everyone think?
Obviously another security precaution would be to not click remember my habbo.

Luckily I don't click " Remember me " although I hope this is resolved shortly as users are paranoid.

Thanks for that btw, didn't see that on Answers!
