Warning - Do not reply to this email

[Chief149]

If you look closely at the email, then you could probably think that it's optical, but it's not. It's probably a banned player who got extremely mad and hacked into the forums, and got everyone's email addresses, and sent them out to all forum members.

Or he just used many of the public emails available. If he had "hacked" the forums, why would he need the passwords of players on the forums?

Well, passwords are stored as irreversible MD5 hashes (might be another one, but it's morning and I forget the other acronyms for the types of hashes used). If the person "hacked" the passcodes, then they would only get one-way encrypted hashes which can only be broken by brute force hacking.

No your email is public unless you choose to hide it, for example, I click your name and this comes up

Damn, that guy was awesome persistant.


Also, thanks Sae for this post! ^^

[square_skull]

you saved me from a hacked account, thanks saeberus.

I'm interested about this hacker/fraud or whatever you want to call him.
If he is just a mad player then he obviouslly must not have respect for
other people's work and committments.

I'm just going to call him: HMB (he's mad bro).

now as for suspects, there are plenty of mad players, whether it was that
the couldn't get away with a grief/troll or just had a misunderstanding that
led to a fight, but the thing is there are too many players like this who go
on the server so we cant narrow it down unless we can somehow trace the
e-mail.

Can't Optical take down this post?

The point of this is to tell people to not reply to the email, not to get people to fall into this failed attempt at gaining information to peoples forum accounts.

[jcgaming]

might be some one trying to gain accses to the accounts to greif the sever

They're only getting the Forum profile information...

90% of people use the same password for everything, so 90% of the people he phish's will have the same password on both the forums and minecraft.

Just a thought but....
If this happens to be an upset ex opticraft player then chances are they're some not so smart kid trying to piss off other people... And angry kids tend to make mistakes... Like phishing from the same computer they use to play mc.

So what I would propose is just using any one of the emails he sent to get his IP address (not usually displayed but its in the email header) then banning it from the forums to prevent further attacks. Also assuming they used the same comp for this and mc, we could figure out which player has that ip and then we'd kno who did it and if they're not already banned from the server we could take care of that to

Found no usernames matching the IP. I think we should just leave the whole situation alone, trolls will be trolls, and it's not worth out trouble.
