announcements
this is not an official announcement
Hiya, so your favourite dictator and memelord Atticus aka Saorsa has some important news to pass onto you all regarding the recent hackings that seem to be plaguing roleplayrepublic.
While I personally have little to no concern of this happening to our roleplay, there is always a chance and I am aware that the rest of us either participate(duh) or admin roleplays; and since I have received some information, I have thought it necessary to make you all aware with the permission of the person who pmed me(oiseau).
If you're not in the know, people on rpr have been receiving hateful messages and death threats from an unknown person hacking into deactivated accounts and characters. Disappointingly, I have been the latest in said messages hence the admins of Magicians and I agree that this announcement must be made.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED INFORMATION ABOUT THE HACKER AND HOW THEY'RE DOING THIS. THIS IS ONLY WHAT HAS BEEN SHARED BETWEEN ME, OISEAU AND A FEW OTHER UNNAMED USERS.
Oiseau has made me aware that there is a bug that allows people to view characters walls regardless of being in the roleplay or not. One of Oiseaus' mates(unnamed) tested it out and she was able to do it. I'm not sure how this bug works but apparently if you log out, and it does, you can choose any deactivated character and post on other peoples walls as them.
again, this is not confirmed. Nichiren will be made aware of this bug asap but Oiseau and I agreed that it's better this info is made public so that people can be cautious and wary.
IF YOU RECEIVE ANY HATEFUL MESSAGES, MAKE SURE TO SCREENSHOT AND DO NOT DELETE. AS UPSETTING AS IT IS, THE MODS REQUIRE LINKS TO THE PROFILES WITH THE POSTS UNDELETED.
stay safe everyone!
