Warning - Do not reply to this email

[Saeberus]

Someone who is not optical or affiliated with the Opticraft staff has sent out this email:



It is important that you DO NOT reply to this email.

Wow, do we know who it is?

[andersad]

   This is really interesting, how did someone do it? Could they have possibly hacked the system?

[☣2crzy4uall☣]

Hack what system? you can either hide your email or have it public, all the people that got these were public. We don't have an Opticraftmc@gmail,com email address, there's no threat, just wanted people to be aware that it's fake.

[andersad]

Oh, ok

For future reference, the only official email you should ever trust will be @opticraft.net
But even then, optical has never sent emails like this to anyone, so only Server News posts should ever be trusted.

We, much like all other websites and online services will never request your username or password, so never respond to these sorts of emails regardless of the website or service.

Yould think they would come up with a better way than requesting login information -.-

[DeeKay]

Well I suspect most younger players would still be fooled, since phishing isn't exactly everyone's forte.

[Wratkie]

I wouldn't even click that link incase its a key logger or something

[cschurz]

so where does the link point?

[DeeKay]

so where does the link point?

It just points to opticraft.net, nothing special.

If you look closely at the email, then you could probably think that it's optical, but it's not. It's probably a banned player who got extremely mad and hacked into the forums, and got everyone's email addresses, and sent them out to all forum members.

Or he just used many of the public emails available. If he had "hacked" the forums, why would he need the passwords of players on the forums?

It wasn't a hacking. The person went to people who had their emails public and used them.
