Is this safe

[connor257]

Is this 100% safe or will my account be hacked?

[Hushful]

Nope, this isn't safe. It's huge, festering cess-pool that only people like the YogsCast and Sundee and thousands of other people use on a regular basis.

[Torezu]

Nothing is 100% safe. Your account being hacked is determined by your password selection, the amount of your personal information you pass around, and who you upset, among other things. If you are overly concerned about the launcher allowing your login and password to get to someone else somehow, feel free to look at the source code.

[Jay?]

Nope, not safe at all, it's just one big scam. Kakermix really works for the mafia, and he sells hacked minecraft accounts that he got from the launcher, to pay back the mob for accidentally crashing their yacht.

[Hushful]

Just watch out for this "Jorcer" guy. He will hack anyone in a heartbeat.

[freakachu]

huge scam. I log in with a different account now every time just because I can!

[theprolo]

The record for not being hacked after logging in using the launcher is 5.987777232 milliseconds, currently held by a user known only as Joe King.

Basically what i mean to say is will my account be stolen

Basically what i mean to say is will my account be stolen

don't worry, it's already been stolen even as you're typing this.

[Xylord]

I would have Notch deactivate my account already before "they" start using it to steal tears from orphans.

[Hushful]

I've already stolen all of your personal information as we speak, payday loans here I come...

[The Merchant of Menace]

No, we won't steal your account, all your login details are used for are to obtain minecraft.jar from Mojang's website.

[Industrial Miner]

Nah, MoM is lying. This has created a special program which creates me in the near future to come and kill all the people with a legal account.

The merchant of menace, so it's just a way of modding my game

[okamikk]

The merchant of menace, so it's just a way of modding my game

no, it is just a way to lose fertillity in your fingers through top-secret neurotoxin ejected into you through the keyboard every time you log on the forums or use the launcher

[Sacrieur]

No website is safe, really. There's going to be some computer vulnerability somewhere that someone can exploit and gain access to your system. But rest assured these forums probably don't have any exploits that some raging fourteen year old could copypasta from youtube. Even something like an SQL injection would be far out of their abilities. I do hope passwords here are stored as hashes and not plain text. But, even in the unlikely case of uncrackable security, good ol' social engineering could work.

But again, why would they want to hack your account?

It's highly unlikely anyone who would want to hack your account on these forums possesses the skills to do so.

If you're asking if this website is free of malware, it is. Although you can run noscript if you're paranoid.

[theprolo]

I think he meant the launcher. Which is actually completely safe. You can look at the source code, but I'm guessing that that would be a little beyond you, so I'll explain how this works.

The launcher uses the same login system as normal minecraft - it sends your name and password to the Minecraft servers to validate whether they're real. They don't pass through anywhere else, and if you save your password on the launcher it is saved on your computer, nowhere else. This means that your password is in 2 places and nowhere else: your computer and the Minecraft login servers.

So yeah, this is about as safe as normal Minecraft login.

[HDScorpio]

I remember seeing a similar thread, I think it's whaleboxed now. But yeh, it's 100% safe.

[Captain Scar]

As theprolo said above me, you have nothing to worry about, not even the malicious software that makes everything on your computer be named p 0 r n that I am installing on your computer through my amazing psychic powers

[theprolo]

Yeah, you got all the viruses from the page where you made the post asking if this was safe.

[connor257]

I'm on my iPod but thanks guys I now have technic and tekkit

[Jorcer]

Just watch out for this "Jorcer" guy. He will hack anyone in a heartbeat.

whew sorry I'm late guys... I head someone has a legit account that hasn't been hacked yet!? Lets see if I can fix that.

I'm on my iPod but thanks guys I now have technic and tekkit

For now... :devil:

[The Merchant of Menace]

Yeah, that stopped being funny a long ass time ago.

[Mooseman9]

Yeah, that stopped being funny a long ass time ago.

Thank you. I personally found it to be getting old around the 10th time it was used (No offense Jorcer, it's just getting old).

And as a meme passes into its dying days, so continues the circle of life... of the internet.
