Hello Fagex,
Alright, im posting to clear things up about some issues on fagex regarding us being "hacked"
Well, it all started as I got up, and had a big list of people on msn saying is fagex hacked? is fagex hacked? I went to fagex, was locked up from fouldli using cpanel to lock it up.
Fagex's user database was the only thing stolen, the whole database was NOT taken. as downloading from a server to pc is slow at some points depending on our downloading speeds.
Only reason they even got near the database was a very easy flaw, our host thought the apache was down while puting the php back up, and the mysql database config file was open, seems we had the same password as our mysql database, so we fixed that got rid of backdoors r3v and his friends put and secured it again (1337 macro and our host).
We only had our user list stolen, that it seems r3v and fouldli or r3v told fouldi he got in at the same time, maybe fouldi bailed on r3v and secured everything knowing it would stop r3v in his tracks. as it seems, how would they both know? just doesn't add up maybe fouldi was trying aswell?.. well, anyway we fixed that problem. Some members accounts were being hacked and spamed but we just changed thier password and they can use our forgot password link or can contact our staff members as we are happy to assist anyone.
Our hosting we are getting right now is doing good, its fast and we havn't had much problems so far, with all the donations from fagex members, the members are the ones that kept it up and our over loving staff that donated to see it stay up,
We are very happy to have such a great site that loves to see fagex up much as we do!
In other news by passing these events, jagex seems to be doing other things, take a look at this sample ban message:
"This account has been banned for funding a website involved in Real World Trading.
We have evidence to prove that you gave GP to the site in full knowledge of its uses.
You have been deemed to be in complete control at the time of the incident."
Seems to be specifically targeting people buying/selling gp, best warning to this is just make sure, who your trading for isn't suspectouis its mostly them just watching asian companys trading with people that buy from them, just using a mule and trading to your account helps a big load, nothing to really worry about just here at fagex giving you a heads up in the rs cheating scene
Please be safe while trading, always have a good head on your shoulders when trading and using a mm to provent the chance of risks, as the world ever grows, and Fagex!
