I hope it was Ender's. Would be an epic story about how Ender felt that despite providing such a great client, noone is really bothering to even donate some cash; so when a fellow player offered Ender 1000 dollars, the poor Ender accepted the offer. It is hard economic times and 1000 dollars really mattered a lot for Ender and besides this is just a game.

First you have to get real name to search social media, if someone is giving away real life data he must be aware of that.
I haven't seen here who done this security abusing? If it was custom client + keylogger we should be notice who/what faction wrote that client.


Did you know that jordancoles is really jordan coles?

You haven't seen it but it has happened in salem.

Skype is more then likely the biggest way they had initially started doing research on people. With customer clients there isn't a big enough interest with salem for anyone but enders to keep up with a client. HnH however has quite a few clients running around. Enders is of course more then likely safe for both until proven otherwise.

That isn't why games added in voice nor does it stop social engineering.

hacking into someones computer so you can steal their account and potentially other information (like the guy that said they tried to get into his bank accounts) is not "just a game" nor "part of the game" it is now criminal activity in the real world (which could largely be avoided if the client for both games was not pure and utter unplayable ****), i remember reading about some ***** that hacked into a guys computer over a chat room dispute years ago, problem for the hacker is that the guy knew he did it, next day mr hacker had two broken hands courtesy of his victim and a hammer.

in a similar situation i would find it difficult to stop at breaking the hands, maybe cutting them off entirely. but i get downright disgruntled about ***** internet thieves hiding behind percieved anonymity.

You are so strong and brave (practically heroic)! I'm wondering, do you also punch old ladies who cut you off while changing lanes?

Dude, that's funny. I admit that I have been antagonistic toward you. It is not behavior that is flattering to either of us. I'll ease up :)
