Explain to me what a session stealer is

[Nixon!]

ok, so ive got an idea and it sounds like what we used to do back on cokemusic in like 2003, but not exactly sure. so explain please

There's a lot of 'session stealer' sites around this second and they are VERY VERY dangerous.

basically they encode something into the habbo credits page (via a variable exploit) which sends the information about your habbo account (typically the session id) which can be used to gain control of your account.

don't click any links that you aren't 100% secure with clicking at all. If you find yourself maliciously redirected to one of these sites you might not even realise. If you've got doubts right click and see if there's anything to do with a habbo credits page in the source. If there is; leave it and change your pass and email and email pass IMMEDIATELY.

This exploit is active on ALL hotels currently.

to be honest it could be on any habbo page and you can simply get rid of the problem by logging back out of habbo then in again this creates a new session and therfore the session logger can not gain accsess to your account.
