New site scam

Warning, there's a very very sneaky scam going around, mainly on forums due to its nature.

They will supply a seemingly innocent url (starting with www.habbo.co.uk or in the case tm found .ca) and claim it's a new login location or special moderator login.

The url will seem valid, the correct window title and the connection secured but don't be fooled

They use the loginticket variable to inject html to display an iframe positioned exactly over the standard login.

In the example tm found there was an additional variable at the start of the url with a number of underscores to hide the later malicious variable

He just come across an example on his own forum and he urges you all to be very very careful about clicking any link related to habbo however innocent looking.

I dont understand how that is possible as habbo control the habbo.co.uk url but ill take your word for it.

I didn't quite get it myself but it was something I was told about.
Ask tm for more info lol

yeah i found one of them, it was quite funny really i started putting in fake usernames and passwords.:D

the way you can tell is if the fonts are a different size or if you try to create a new account :P dont fall for it!

if someone is advertising a website on habbo and u go onto it and ur habbos logged off. TYPE in the habbo address (www.habbo.co.uk) and then log in form habbos homepage.

I think he means you can do this:

http://www.habbo.co.uk

i'd think it to be common sense to know not to go on any stupid "uber 1337 secret logins" seeming as most people are not idiots.
