    Default zLimez' guide to being safe.

    Righty im zaid aka zLimez / lPlanet , in my point of view, every single person should read this thread/post , as i know what im saying will infact help you since ive had hundreds of people trying to hack me, and well they didnt succeed .
    Right, the story behind me posting this, is seeing loads of my friends get hacked, lose their msns, facebooks, furni and i want to try to put a stop to this to an extent.

    Most important thing - NEVER accept files, no matter how much you trust them , they wanna show u a pic? link them to www.tinypic.com and ask them to upload it there, video ? god bless youtube, u get what im saying.

    And ... you know how we link our habbos to emails, link it to an email , specifically created for habbo, and preferabbly gmail, as in my personal experience thats the safest one, or you can do what i do, use an email on a private server, link your habbo to an email , that no one will know, no one can know, no one can find out, and make sure, there arent alternate emails to it or from it,

    So , Righty, to start with , you want to be extra safe? dont even tell people your msn , but we all do that, i personally do it alot, but, ill explan on how to be safe on the most common thing we do.

    Msn - Righty, to start with , make your security questions / answers unguessable, dont even make them the right info, and right, now theres something called a revert, where people send in forms to hotmail itself and request a reset link , where they fill in information you could have told them , or they could have found it out about you, so to stop this, first thing, change ur first and last name to anything , for ex. Timon Pumba! , and MAKE sure that you tick the part where it asks u who you want to share it with , and make sure its tick to " only me " or " no one " that way , no one is gna know your name, but refrain from sending emails to people as i think by doing that they see your full name, if they send you emails, thats fine , dont matter, right when ur done with ur name, change every possible information you can, country, d.o.b , everything u can possibly change, to something completely random, that way when they send a form , all the information they think is true, will be invalid , so in that way hotmail wont give them the reset link.
    This is the safest way to secure ur hotmail , msn , but then again everything can happen , but thats my point of view, i have over 600 ppl from habbo on my habbo msn , and 3/4 of them tried hacking me and failed , i think you'd know why they'd want to hack me.

    P.s - This information would be efficient to any email provider, so yeah doesent just apply to hotmail.

    now the almighty facebook - There isnt much i can say , but, hide your email, no one should be able to see it , [ even if it wasnt linked to habbo ] some people might hack it just to make them happy, and well you miserable, so keep your email hidden , and if you're extra paranoid, just go to the privacy settings, and make yourself hidden , so if people even looked for you on facebook, they wont find you cuz you're hidden and just like browse through privacy and stuff, and just look at anything that would make you vulnerable to hacking and hide it.

    Righty these are the most things that i think people get hacked through but ill need to talk about something , very unlikely but never hurts to be precautious , sometimes when someone from habbo emails habbo telling them that they forgot the passy, or got hacked, if they supplied enough information , theres a chance that habbo will give them the reset link, so to avoid that, just dont give ur d.o.b out, ur linking email , or old linking email , none of ur old passwords and your fine, to be extra precautious you can buy credits, doesent matter wat method or what ammount, but if that happens, habbo will ask the fraud person trying to impersonate or whatever the word is , um which he will clearly not be able to answer.

    Im sorry if this has bored you , im just sick of seeing my friends get hacked, and lets put these hackers down , maybe they'll bugger off sooner!, Adios!
