Recent Rise In Scamming & Hacker Attempts

(Borrowed from Stratics)


There has been a recent rise in blatant attempts to gain access to UO accounts. Sites are being put up specifically to target the UO player base such as the Kingdom-Reborn download site which had a Trojan, the spoof site of uoforum dot net which was intended to spoof a legit fan site uoforums.com, and this most recent uotrading site which several people are complaining of being hacked after recently signing up for.

This goes beyond the normal "protect yourself on the internet" since we are specific targets and extra effort is being put into ways to trick specifically UO players.

Do not use sites that are not well known and trusted. And never use your UO information or even the same email account you use for UO, on another site.

This post will be left as a sticky to warn everyone, however I am locking it to prevent any discussions or arguments about how people should know better. Obviously not all do so we have a responsibility as a community to try to warn them.

If you have information of a specific site that you think justifies a specific warning please PM me with the information and I will check it out and add it to this thread if warranted.

Thank you,
Ghost
