    So. This whisperbot is still going on. Why? Why have they not been banned and the game monitored? And why the ** will it not stay in my blacklist?

    C'mon PW. I know you don't really care about the player base but isn't this type of thing costing you money?

    Another warning

    A hacker in HT managed to **** a certain people skype account then spreading the phishing website to the **** acc friend list.

    Once again, do not click any link that was sent to you via skype or any social media messaging unless you can verify who sent it.

    The hacker manage to **** several PWI acc rapidly in HT using this way.

    Yeah I sent a ticket about the bot on RT as soon as I got the PM... 5 days later bot is still active. So who is curious how many people will be affected by natural selection? I remember something like this being brought up once, the defense was "Oooo it's not fair though, they trusted their friends who had been **** and spreading phishing sites."

    Still applies! You were dumb for having someone dumb on your friend list.

    The fact that this is still going on makes me sad.

    This is a super obvious thing that ( I assume) many people should have sent in reports on by now. Yet there's been zero effect so far. :/

    I would actually be more surprised if it had been dealt with by now.

    I used to assume people falling for links and sites like that to general ignorance of the threat/risk involved, but this has been going on for months and months in different forms, so literally no one should be falling for any of these.

    Well I wrote a rather long post about this subject and then Fire Fox crashed o well. Not retyping all that.

    /Short version.

    Stay safe and smart fellow PWI players.

    And back in the day the context menu "report hacking" or whatever it's called actually worked (very well).

    Report them sure but they will just be back soon enough.
