Habbox Condoning Illegal Activities?

[=Sean...]

Yes, you read right. As you know, phishing, aka misleading links, are illegal. I run Opera (a browser just as safe as Firefox) and I clicked a link that was in someone's sig. It directed me to a website (not the brain website) that locked up my computer and infected my computer with two Java exploits.

So, I ask the Habbox Admins, can you stop the phishing?

I'm sure if you had brought this to the attention of an admin they would have removed the link, but it's not their fault that the link was published - it's in the terms and conditions;

It is very hard to monitor every link posted and every picture posted!
If you see a problem then pm an admin

I'm talking about links in sigs. They say it is something, then when you click it, it isn't what they said it was. That is called phishing and it is illegal.

Exactly the same applies for signatures.

just PM a admin with the persons name and i am sure it will be removed

So I have to report everyone with a fake link in their sig?

[the wombats]

no just PM a admin about his/her link

I kind of agree, there are at least 2 topics, linking of to hacking scripting sites, and about getting macrotopics, both of wich ive mod reported, that are still open "/

Clicking the avatars takes you to that persons profile.
