    To all Habbo Fansite users,

    RE: Habbohut Forum Intrusion

    On the 31st of December, 2007 the Habbohut Forum was broken into by a duo called Rory and Finch. These are Habbos who believe it is fun to destroy peoples’ voluntary work which they put into Fansites.

    I am sad to say this is Habbohut’s first major breach with security however the safety of it’s users and other staff was never compromised. The only area accessed was forum administration which resulted in accounts being deleted and the forum being redirected. We are safe to say that other than this, users were never exposed to threats such as key loggers or virus’s.

    The cause of the intrusion was a managers Messenger account being accessed therefore moving through accounts to gain access to the Habbohut Forum. I would like to take this opportunity to remind Habbos the importance of different passwords, different emails and changing passwords on a regular basis.

    To all users who say Habbohut was hacked, you are incredibly mistaken. Rory and Finch did no such thing to Habbohut except get lucky trying a few passwords they gained from a manager who wasn’t secure enough.

    In conclusion, the manager responsible for the intrusion is no longer with the site and procedures are currently being reviewed to ensure something like this will never disrupt the site again.

    It is safe to say that the site is back up and running as usual and there was and still is no security threat to its users.

    Thank you for your cooperation and apologies for any worry or inconvenience this issue may have caused.

    I heard Finch-HIMself was rumoured to be one of the arrestees in the Dutch raids a few months back? Clearly that's not true or clearly he hasn't learnt

    If you read the email you posted you'd see he hasn't hacked the HabboHut mailer, and yes it has been posted and the the other one's 'beta' [Better for the rest of you].

    I think he knew how to get into habbohut long time ago. I wonder why he left it to 31/12/07. Hmm very strange. Really it is not the Gm fault, its theres. Really Flinch can hack any computer even if they have powerful defenses. I wonder who is his next victim? is? Nasa? Sulake? ClubHabbo? HABBOX? or even YOU!

    finch* not flinch.

    and for your information he's basically hacked sulake (well, habbo.)
    he's hacked mods and picked up furni from rare casino's countless times, and drops them into many different rooms.. he knows what he is doing and at the moment he's too smart to be caught.. why would he hack NASA anyways? NASA probably have TOO much security to get around unless he uses a fake login with a fake email sent to all mods and admins of the site like he did with habbo mods
