Why you shouldn't give away your msn.

[iJava]

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:

People have been doing this for ages - Main tip - Don't accept any files from Habbo Users. Simple.

This is quite obvious really. I never add anyone from the internet anyway, I like to keep things like that seperate from my personal life.

It's not MSN anymore it's Windows Live.
And YES they are two seperate things.
Firstly, it's un-safer. But it still won't let anything bad be downloaded onto your comp.
However whose to say people can't put something onto it? Nobody.

But you can send things over msn..

what he said tbh.

surley it's common sense really.

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

Some guy: hi
Some girl: hi
-Some guy sends file named 'picture.exe'-
Some girl: Yeah, because .exe files are pictures!

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.

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.
