Hello. I'm here to inform you (and also warn you, of course) of a new hack that is going around Jamaa.
For the past several weeks a lot of people, innocent people, have been getting hacked. Most of these hackers can be found in popular places, like famous Jammers' dens for example.
Here's how this hack works: a random stranger will ask you if you want to chat on ''sky'' (Skype). Once you start chatting, the hacker goes into action. Sometimes they'll send you a link that, when clicked, downloads a virus that logs your keystrokes. Other times they'll pretend to generate items for you, want to share screens with you, somehow get personal information such as your address, etc.
Here are some pictures of people (belonging to frostyandraven) trying to use this new hack:
Earlier today a Jammer named sina made a video about this new hack. Here it is:

(Funny story - about a year ago I caught this dude, har19131, scamming. Makes perfect sense as to why he would want to hack people. :/)
Whatever you do, don't give out your Skype to random people EVER. Not just during these dark days... NEVER give out your Skype to someone you just barely met online.
Stay safe, everyone!
Good thing my parents would kill me if I got Skype XD
ReplyDeleteSame lol
DeleteYikes!!! Another type of scamming?!? At least I will be safe from this, I don't even have Skype, and even if I did, I wouldn't be allowed to use it with strangers anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know Naffy :)

No problem! I don't have a Skype either, and I'm kind of glad I don't.
DeleteIDK WHO would skype a person you don't even know. I don't have skype (don't need it)
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's not very smart to do that, is it? D:
DeleteNafi I'm really scared... This weird audio file started playing on your blog. A man started talking in a really low voice, I couldn't tell what he was saying, and then there was a weird noise. A minute later this lady said "Hi there." in a really CREEPY voice.
ReplyDeleteO.O That is REALLY creepy. Are you sure there weren't any other tabs up? Maybe it was from a different tab... or maybe you were just hearing voices... WHAT IF YOUR HOUSE IS HAUNTED!!?? AHHHHH
DeleteMaybe it was just an ad playing before the...
DeleteOh, wait. There IS no blog music.
Now I'm freaked out...
It was from your blog. It stopped once I closed the tab. Also when I hovered over the tab it said the website contains audio.
DeleteThat's weird... but maybe swirlshine is right. Maybe an ad was playing? Agh, I don't want to believe my blog is possessed. DX
DeleteVic told me she somehow put the lady's voice there. You should go ask her.
DeleteOH!!! I know what is was!!! It was an audie from the WhipChat. No worries! It's all been cleared up. :)
DeleteOk thanks!
DeleteI don't think everyone in those pics are hackers, but thay's a pretty scary hack!

I only Skype AJ bloggers XS
ReplyDeleteYikes! Good thing I don't use Skype! But I agree with Sarahkey8, I dunno why you would even want to Skype with a stranger.
ReplyDeleteI have a skype, but don't use it. Definitely gonna be carful anyhow. My worst nightmare is to be hacked and lose everything I've worked for, most importantly my buddies.
