Hab Bucket Thing?

[babykarie]

My friend, who goes on habbo, today said she is on some Hab Bucket thing, she said its exactly like habbo but you get 1000 Free Credits to start with, and she says she didn't put her actual Habbo Account in, I know her really well so I know she's not actually scamming me, but I'm a bit curious...


Does anyone know if this is a Scam Site, because I don't want My friend Hacked or her computer full of Viruses...?

Thank You :)

That site is a retro, and yes!

Retros can have all thoses Hacking things on them! so bewhere! only go on the offical Habbo sites.

[WarezKid]

No, they dont have hacking things on them, it just a "clone" of habbo.

Unless i'm wrong then ye lol

Your nearly there, Theres quite a mis-conception of retros.

Many dont have virus' and hacking odds 'n sods atatched to them, but I reccomend you dont visit them.

Just keep away, thats the safest way.

[Scuzzy]

yeah sounds like a retro. Best thing is to stay away from them :)

Retros are a copy of Habbo so you can unlimited furniture, power and creds.
Normally people use them for fun but some do you use them to attach session stealers etc.

Done lie, you cant get hacked from going to a retro site, even if they do record your ip they dont have the skill to hack you. When you sign up just dont enter your habbo password.

'tis true you don't usually get hacked by 'retro' sites/hotels. Habbo want you to think that so you don't use them.

They're just copies of the real Habbo, as others have said, with unlimited credits, rares, powers etc... If you use one and feel it could be a threat do these steps first:

1) Logout of the real Habbo.co.uk before playing one - then if it does have a session stealer it will have expired
2) If you register DON'T put your real DOB, email, Habbo name and password in. Make new ones up.

You should stay safe then. :)

Session stealers are patched

[Hitman]

Session stealers are patchedOh right thanks for the info. I saw somebody posting about a session stealer not long ago.

When were they patched, awhile ago?

Hmmm? how do you know?

[Shrile]

Retros carnt hack your pc or habbo unless your so dumb enough to put in real details
Also all retro owners dont even know the first thing about hacking
Brute
R.A.Ts
etc are the ways they do that, and thats if you download something.

[ShadowTSL]

That's a retro, though I use one locally on my computer just to feel like I "own Habbo" and to build a little pixelated city with no one in it :P .

I can safely say they have no hacking tools, though server owners see your account details on their server unencrypted, so if you use your Habbo details they can fetch 'em by simply opening a text file.

hacking brute and rats in the one sentence :lol:

Anyway, like others said it's most likely a harmless retro

[LoveToStack]

If u think its a session stealer, u just ope up mozilla and go on it. By starting mozilla or any other browser, u automatically start a NEW session. :)

[Jericho]

Jarkie, dont be silly, Most people on this forum have been on retro's. Not online ones, mainly private ones.

;)

[Mattch]

I own a retro and they dont have anything on it

The only thing we see is the ip and the account details for the retro account

The only way we can hack u is if you use your actually habbo account which i have a notice on my site saying

DO NOT USE YOUR REAL ACCOUNT OR YOU WILL BE BANNED.

Hoping people wont :)

[Pazza]

TBH,

I own a retro, and it does not scam. They do not scam.
All I can say, is do not use your real Habbo Data, because some owners will use it against you.
I have never heard of any retros installing viruses either ...

If youre going to use retro, use fake details =)

EDIT: I didn't see above post :P

I've heard that they can still put things on your computer if you don't have the right security? (Feel free to shout out abuse at me :P)
And ur, I used to go on retro's but now I don't bother, because it's hard to find a descent one and normally they get shut down in 7 days.

Mines been up for I think about a year :S

Emm, I think they can, but they have to gain access first.

EG: When there is a popup, it says there is a popup blocked - click here to allow it.
So, it would come up with it is either trying to access pc. Or addon download, you have to accept first ;)

Hope I've cleared it up.

Me to - they are the ones that reload your client, right?

[Pazza]

Yes,

If you go on a certain website it records your info in a cookie, and they can login to your home page. Although, they can't get onto the actual hotel

So basically don't go on a retro while on real Habbo.

Not true, there are no 'hacking things' on retros

Session stealing was patched.

There is no danger going on a retro unless you use your habbo password when you register.

I won't keep on about it, but I still wouldn't go on a retro whilst on Habbo :)
