    Exclamation Giveaway Room Hacking IS Real.

    So I noticed another post about Giveaway room scams.
    And last night while having my Helper tool on, I also had someone ask me for help regarding a giveaway room scam.

    There has been a lot of this going on lately because it's a rather new (or re-newed) idea that is being played out these past weeks by people such as the Habbo Hacking Krew (http://www.hackforums.net/showthread...highlight=krew).

    Here is a quote from the post:

    "Koolzmad had a great idea of setting up a giveaway room, and having them tune into our "Radio station" (which is actually a popular scene for habbo users) and it will infect them with a Rat. So props to him on that, and i'll be setting up the giveaway room with some norms and what not to make it look realistic."


    So, these hackers have been setting up giveaways, making people tune into radio stations, and those radio station sites would inflict their computers with a RAT or keylogger.

    You might need a Hackforums account to read that thread.
    Also, I don't think there is anything we can do to stop these people from doing this. The only thing we can do is warn other Habbos about it, although I doubt much will be done.

    It's really too bad that this goes on, but if you browse the habbo section of Hackforums.net, you'll notice that there are MANY people who do not believe hacking is immoral, and their consciences are not one bit affected by this. An online game may not seem like a big deal to them... but where do these people draw the moral line from the internet to real life?

    Thanks for the heads up! Sad people are falling victim to this :{ One of them also signed up here and posted a radio station but martin was able to remove it pretty quickly. Also seen people posting tumblrs and dailybooths (even though thats not even around anymore.) around the hotel. I reported the person posting it and nothing happened either...typical. Everyone jut needs to be cautious not to click on any unknown links.

    It's done by asking you to run java... But only chrome asks you, all other web browsers run it automatically I think

    What a crap hacking 'krew'

    The people who go to giveaways are the last people you want to 'hack' as you're going to get nothing from them lol..

    That's always been around? Those apparently giveaway radio stations, common sense.. don't go on it I guess.
    Search Varnius for Habbo's Official Trading Room.

    Hope everyone like @Explorator; who clicked on the link have checked their comps if they weren't using chrome.
