Why you shouldn't give away your msn.

TopManTim · 12-03-2008, 09:38 PM

I give my msn to good friends on habbo but not to any randomer that asks.

I only accept things from 2 of them and that's because a) I trust them and b) They've both left so would have no want to hack me.

I think this is rather obvious, right?

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:

Alas, that happened to me about 3 or 4 years ago.

Exactly. these days parents are getting more over-protective so the kids find other methods of socializing (online games/chatrooms).

It may be obvious to you now but if you just joined Habbo it won't. :S

Surely you should know when someone is sending you a file that isn't an image, document or music/video file? But to someone who is new to Habbo, I can see that happening.
