New RMT Attacks, take caution

Re: New RMT Attacks, take caution

It's very irritating, but that's about it.

Yeah, I remember it happened a couple of months ago. Back then, so many people reported this one guy that the GMs cancelled all of the calls relating to that RMT and said it is being investigated.

Re: New RMT Attacks, take caution

Logged in yesterday for the first time in about a month and peeps in my ls were saying that they had gotten about 6 different tells from RMT to a rmt website to buy gil. So I stayed on for about 45 mins just chatting and then I get a tell from the guy lol. "1Mil for 33.25 with Unique Code!!!!!!!!" Can RMT be any less obvious?

/tell spam has been going on for at least the past few months. It's very irritating, but that's about it.

Re: New RMT Attacks, take caution

Feba I do understand what you are saying but in this reguard it is common courtsey. It is alot like it is snowing and some says watch out I just slipped.

I don't even see that. It's more like, "Hey I heard some people got hurt up north, though I don't know how. Watch out for winter."

Re: New RMT Attacks, take caution

If you shared a room growing up, I'd think the bathroom might be the only place you'd get any damn privacy.

Re: New RMT Attacks, take caution

Why the bathroom?

Re: New RMT Attacks, take caution

The next day she'd bring up stuff I talked about and endlessly tease me until I was in tears. I started whispering when I was on the phone but she STILL knew what I was talking about. It didn't matter what room I went into, SHE ALWAYS KNEW!

That's "Mom Haxx" they just know everything. I think some of them might be spies.

Re: New RMT Attacks, take caution

That's what you get for talking to people while you're on the toilet.

Re: New RMT Attacks, take caution

Well, really, the best analogy I can think of right now is basically going into the bathroom to have private conversations because you're afraid your house is bugged, but you figure they wouldn't have bugs there.

Ah that brings back memories...

I'd get a phone call and the bathroom was right across the hall from the phone. So I'd stretch the cord into the bathroom (had that sucker stretched out 8 feet!) and sit on the toilet and talk. Well it used to irritate the hell out of my parents. They'd complain about the cord being across the hall and tripping on it. Ummm if you walk like a human being and not a TROLL dragging its feet, you'll get across the cord just fine. (Ah I still tell her that to this day because she STILL won't get a cordless phone!) So my mother decided to put a tape recorder in the bathroom. I'd get on the phone and she'd say "I have to use the bathroom." and then she'd go in there and turn it on. Then I'd go in and talk away. The next day she'd bring up stuff I talked about and endlessly tease me until I was in tears. I started whispering when I was on the phone but she STILL knew what I was talking about. It didn't matter what room I went into, SHE ALWAYS KNEW!

Re: New RMT Attacks, take caution

If you have a keylogger, yes it would be, but that's like saying you're much safer with a seatbelt on when you're driving drunk.

Actually, it's a bit more like saying your money's safer on the top floor if a burglar breaks into your basement, because he might not check the whole house.

Re: New RMT Attacks, take caution

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about threats arising at all. What you're talking about is someone saying "Be careful, that narrow road is icy", and other people driving more carefully because of it. That makes perfect sense. What I'm talking about is someone saying "Someone had a crash on a road we all already knew to be dangerously narrow. You should drive safely there.", as if nobody already realized they should drive safely, or the road was narrow.

Feba I do understand what you are saying but in this reguard it is common courtsey. It is alot like it is snowing and some says watch out I just slipped. They are not assuming that your so out of sync or idiotic that your going to sprint to your car across frozen ground. Your taking it as you order hot coffee and you see "Beware contents of the cup may be hot". It is understood that you understand what it means, and because of the lowering number of instances some one may have gotten lax.

Re: New RMT Attacks, take caution

But do you check every time you get on the internet, to be sure no new holes have popped up? I sure in the hell don't. I trust that FF and its add-ons are doing their job, and weekly I do a full system scan and check to make sure my settings are still intact.

Most people probably don't even do that much. Complacent. But giving people a reason to remember, "Oh hey, I should check and make sure my shit isn't all jacked up," probably isn't such a terrible thing. People forget. Or get lazy. Or both. Whatever the reasons are for not being on guard 24/7, I don't think it's a bad thing that sometimes, things pop up and remind us to be cautious.

Re: New RMT Attacks, take caution

Well, people get complacent. It's good to get a bit scared of things now and then, it gives you reason to check yourself and make sure everything is as it should be.

There shouldn't have to be a reason.
