Fired for being hacked

[Aaron]

I think they shouldnt be fired I recon its like abit harsh tbh if there really dedicated nd stuff why would they want to click a link
why would they want to get fired
how is it there fault
what if this happend to like someone in a high role of habbox...
They obviously wouldnt have been like
OMG OMG HACK ME PLS I WANNA GET FIRED
would they
I don't think its fair tbh, its there like senior dj lets say just demote them to normal tbh? :S Lee as an example was EXTREMELY dedicated to his department
so was jord when he got hacked as assist hxhd manager..
hardly there fault
Just saw alkaz

So it's not the users fault if they click a malicious link?
It's not the users fault if they go on a dodgy site?
It's not the users fault ifnthey have a poor password?

Who's fault is it then..

Yeah I've to agree with Matts, it is there fault if they click a dodgy site or have chosen a poorly password.

Many people were taking out with the new scripting tool, you can all denie it but most of you have clicked links at somepoint, of course no one clicks getfreecredits these days, but things like Tumbler seem like inocent sites, if you read blogs. The information was not secured properly and isn't really the fault of the user, it's not like they were keylogged; it was a back door passage.

Many people were hacked with this technique, and very rich people too! Some people have lost hundreds of throne's.

Overall that should not be fired, suspension is fine. If you want to blame someone, blame Sulake. But if someone gives out their details or gets keylogged its a different scenario. Each case should be handled differently and the severity.

It's very easy to judge when it hasnt happened to you, if you give out your personal information your entirely to blame/..

well hardy. All people had to do was click a link like tumblr which was always safe in the past. It wasn't their fault they clicked if they didn't know about the exploit. I think firing is abit harsh. Maybe a suspension. Just hope that if any of senior staff/management ever get hacked, the same rule applies.

I believe Lee didn't get hacked by clicking one of the recent links at all. So I don't know why people keep mentioning it.

If people actually remembered to change their passwords, have different passwords for different accounts and so on then this wouldn't of happened.

As far as I've been informed it was nothing to do with the clicking links that lead to a redirect thing being placed on probably quite a popular rare, and if it hadn't have been spotted then a lot of people could have then been hacked because of it.

I do think that if someone manages to get their accounts comprised then they should be removed as Habbox staff, it's always been the case as longs I have been staff. I got fired in 2007 for having my MSN hacked If someone manages to get their account hacked which leads to stuff on Habbox being tampared with then I do think they should pay the consequences for what happened. Especially if a moderator got hacked and like happened when Alkaz got hacked the full graphics section of the forum was messed up then I would expect some sort of punishment and I think dismissal is ok rather than a 'suspension period'.

Well what if people had of got hacked through that exploit?

I only remember the exploit combining two accounts together so the hacker could get access to the account and take the furni if needed. I can't see the exploit hacking accounts on the actual forum, as you don't get the passwords. Then again, they should have different passwords for Habbox and Habbo. But if any of their accounts on Habbox (forum, habboxlive, habbox) then did cause damage, put users at risk then they would most likely be dismissed. As stated in the thread a number of times, account safety is their responsibility.

Well I scanned this thread and wasn't one of the dismissals for trashing hxhd?

Lee has been a target by Habbo's underworld for a while it's not surprising he was hacked imo. Shame though, I never had a problem with him..

sierk got hacked once, is he to be fired too?

Was he actually fired for being "hacked"? Because if so then all he did was get his account compromised - big deal, he's probably learnt from that lesson like anyone else. There's a saying about stuff like this which I can't think of right now, but it's about people being less likely to be a problem after something has happened to them. 5 House Points for anyone who can find the phrase
