Scamming = Prison

Ever heard of 'Ddossing' or hacking?
Ddossing is when you disconnect someone from their internet. Ddossing and hacking is illegal.
If you disconnect the army from the internet or hack their accounts, you'll probably find that you're in category 3.

If you Ddoss a runescape player to kill him for his items, or if you have a hacked runescape players account and attempt to sell it, it'll probably be a level 1 sentence which is up to six months in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Here is a case: http://www.gamersdailynews.com/story-14860-Man-Arrested-for-Runescape-Account-Theft.html

​

"If you have observed a scam or been the victim of a scam, spam or fraud and want to report it for enforcement, here is a list of where to report different types of scams in the US, UK, Canada and many other countries. In some cases there is more than one agency to contact. Some scams fit into more than one category, also." http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/reporting.php





The Law
=========

The Computer Misuse Act states the following levels:
1) Unauthorised access to computer material
2) Unauthorised access with intent to commit or facilitate commission of further offences
3) Unauthorised modification of computer material.



What is the Computer Misuse Act?
The Computer Misuse Act introduced by the government, made it illegal to gain unauthorised access to a computer's data and/or software and includes attempting to hack someone's computer, blackmailing or sending viruses.

Believe it or not, it is legal to create a virus and put it on your computer. It is legal to hack your own computer. However, if that virus (by accident) spreads to someone else's computer, you have broken the law.

There are three levels of severity if you do break the law.

In Detail
----------
1) In this category, a person commits an offence if he tries to access any program or data held in any computer without permission and he knows at the time that this is the case. The maximum penalty is six months in prison and a $10,000 fine.
This category applies to people who are "just messing around","exploring the system","getting into the system just for the sake of it" and have no intention of doing anything to the programs or data once they have gained access.
It covers the act of guessing passwords to gain access to a system and have a look at the data that is stored. An authorised user of a system may be in breach of this category of the act if he accesses files in the system that have a higher level of access rights that he has been allocated. A student gaining access to a fellow student's area or breaking into the college administrative system is breaking this category of the Act. It is an offence even if no files are deleted or changed.

2) This category covers offenders who carry out unauthorised access with a more serious criminal intent. Persistent offences under section 1 are also included in this second category. Prosecution under this category can lead to a maximum of five years in prison.
Access may be made with an intention to carry out fraud.
For example, breaking into a personnel or medical system with the intention of finding out details about a person that could be used for blackmail falls into this category. Another example of an offence under section 2 would be breaking into a company's system with the intention of finding out secret financial information that could be used when carrying out stock market transactions. The information that could be used when carrying out stock market transactions. The information obtained in this way could be used by a rival company.
A further example of an offence in this category would be guessing or stealing a password, using it to access another person's on-line bank account and transferring their money to another account.

3) This third category concerns the alteration of data or programs within a computer system rather than simply viewing or using the data or program. This category includes the deliberate distribution of computer viruses. Prosecution under this category can lead to up to fives years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
An offence could include deleting files.
However the deletion has to have been done deliberately and not just by mistake.
The program code could be changed. This could stop a program from running or cause it to act in an unexpected manner. This category also includes using a computer to damage other computers linked through a network even though the computer used to do the damage is not modified in any way.
Alternatively, data could be changed: the balance of a bank account could be altered, details of driving offences could be deleted.

Q&A

 

damm thats scary, but scammers will always still be scammers -.-

 

"or if you have a runescape players account and attempt to sell it"
Is this when you sell the account you created or if you hacked an account?

 

Why did you post this? Doesn't everyone know this stuff is illegal? As for the runescape players this would apply to- i highly doubt they'd even get caught...no1 is going to report them lol. If they did, they wouldn't get in much trouble bc they're under 18. And anyway, the kids stupid enough to do this (it's still not worth it) probably just don't give a shit.

 

Selling a Runescape account that you created is against Jagex's rules and they claim it is their property, but there are ways of getting around it such as saying that you are selling your work and effort rather than the account and so you will not be put in any of the 3 levels.

However, if you sell an account that you hacked, you will be in a level 1 category.

 

i this wont clear scammers becouse idk that they will get to pay 10k $ for hacking a game..

 

I just want you to know that botnet administrators use vpn to access their bots to cover them up. GL catching them unless they're retarded.

also Distributive Denial of Service attacks are not used to hack people's account. They're just used to make people mad because they won't be able to connect to the internet.

furthermore, scamming is most of the time done with people's actual accounts that they've made.. Not many people sell hacked accounts successfully because they end up being recovered before the account sells.

lastly, the so called "hackers" or "DDoS'ers" can't even do anything whatsoever to you if you aren't retarded.
the only way to DDoS attack someone is to have their IP address..meaning you have to join an IRC channel of theirs, click a link of theirs.. something dumb.
The only way for someone to "hack" you without knowing your RS info is to have you download and run some sort of file to allow them remote access or a keylog.

If you have a brain in yo head, you just won't trust any internet files unless you absolutely know what it is.

 

This thread is meant to scare scammers, no?

 

So this means that basically everyone on Sythe should get 6 months in prison and 10G fine.. So what's the point of this? Common sense and nothing ever happens except in the rare case that it does.

 

Just read through all of that and i agree with it all,

it's about time hackers realise what they is doing IS wrong.

 

Scammer's and Hacker's will always be around, myself being one of them. You can't stop us with fines. Nothing really will, if there is demand, and we are bored, it will happen.

 

Show me a single case where someone got prison time for hacking a RuneScape account.

 

Hahahahahaha.
I agree with this.

But also, lol at this, it got on the news.

 

Yeah, you did the job for me .

 

Ddosing and phishing is another thing.

Going to court for recovering a runescape account, will never happen.

 

No, he didn't. There was one case where two Dutch kids went to court, all they got was some community service.

Show me a case where prison time was deemed as appropriate punishment. (You won't ever find one).

 

The World we live in continues to change dramatically. It was not so long ago that black and white people could not mix. They thought that the two together would never happen and was something ridiculous.

Considering the internet is growing hugely and so is gaming, maybe something will happen.

Also things do happen already such as if you sell a hacked runescape account and then sell it and then chargeback for it, if caught you will be in a tonne of trouble. If you are under 18, then your parents/guardians will be in a tonne of trouble.

 

I only mentioned that it was the maximum fine.

 

I'm just saying that the legal system doesn't take these cases seriously (and probably never will). The Dutch government was most likely bored on that one occasion where those two kids were prosecuted.
