my account has been compromised i logged on earlier today and a guild member pm'ed me to tell me about something that had been posted about me on the forums they gave me a link which directed me to a "dofus forum" and once i had logged out they procceded to use my details to log into my account and steal things from me. the link was LINK REMOVED


^{PLEASE EVERYONE BE CAREFULL WHEN FOLLOWING LINKS AS THERE IS A KEY LOGGER!!!!!}


please could the dofus team try there best to do some research on this please as it has upset me greatly and i'm sure there are many other people out there who have been trubbled by these problems in the past.

the reason i followed the link was because it was posted by a guild member and someone i trusted who's account must have been compromised, i realise i'm not going to get any of my items back and i am ok with that but i'm wondering if there is any added security that can be done, like as i have read in another post, regestering an ip address and having to enter a specific code when you change your ip address (the code would be specific to each person and can be generic made not own choice) i know there's not much that can be done but it has to be noticed that people will go to sites if they are directed there by people they trust and know thinking they are good websites. just my thought's plus i wanted to warn others that there is someone out there at the moment performing this scam.

well in my way you should only trust the person very closely liek if she/he lives near u never give out private info next time u will know tho if so just post it on the forums xD

Also keep your browser up to date, run decent anti-vir software eg Avira and double check that any site you've been referred to that asks for your login details uses the official domain eg dofus.com.

And never ever share your account. Roughly 1 in 3 get 'hacked' in my experience.

Personally, I'd like a switch so that I can actually click on URLs. Send it through Ankama's website if you must (and automatically check malware site lists). And make /selection on default (ie if you click-drag something that isn't an item/link) and not screw up your chat window.
