Habbo staff acount hacked!

[Michael]

You may have seen the decrease in rares such as typewriters and purple dino eggs on the marketplace, with rumours aflow of an old staff account being hacked, people just did not want to believe it. However it looks like things have taken a turn for the worst, as the rumour was indeed reality.

You say ex-staff, yet powertoo says staff account? Which one is it, as I fail to see why an old staff account would still have staff privileges in the first place?

Old staff accounts can't be hacked, afaik they're perm banned after they quit

Oh oops, must've read it on the group forum.

Is RadMatter staff or was she just a victim?

[Absently]

anyone know who the staff member was?

Habbo demonstrating its lack of security once again.

[Storking]

so it was a current staff member, not an old account who still had privileges (which seemed highly unlikely)

what steps have been taken now? are they tracing stolen items that were sold on? besides that, I would've thought staff accounts had extra layers of security to prevent hacking.

This was the original starting post, as you can see from powertoo's reply she says the rumour is correct, and the rumour is about an ex-staff account.

Can't they trace the items? :S
awful tat they took peoples furniture instead of just stuff that was on the acc
