Hi, I've just received a message from ADMINISTRATOR. This is the message:
Account Confirmation!
Dear Miloslav,
recently we have noticed that your account has been hacked. Please to confirm that you are owner of account please send us your password and birth date. For any further questions use info@erepublik.com.
Thanks regards from your erepublik team.
1- If my account has been hacked, why the hacker didn't change my password? I mean a good hacker would do that...
2- It's very bizzare that ADMINISTRATOR registered day 529 of Erepublik (today).
3- If my account has been hacked, the message would be read by the hacker no? He can easilly check the date of birth, change the password and the admins wouldn't notice it. Yes...
4- Instead of telling me this by email he would send me a message on Erepublik knowing that I maybe will never return on my account.
5- How did admins knows that I've been hacked? I have all my money, nothing have been done to do me a bad reputation to me, my party is fine and I noticed nothing anormal. Sounds like I felt on a friendly hacker!
For all of these reasons, ADMINISTRATOR is very untrustable. I'm now sure that I've not been hacked, I've been contacted by an hacker to take my account! Don't give away your password to people you don't trust! Imagine if the president account is hacked! Goodbye Canada! Please vote this article (and subscribe 😉
) to make sure no one will do anything stupid!
Bonjour, je vien juste de reçevoir un message de ADMINISTRATOR. Le voici:
Account Confirmation!
Dear Miloslav,
recently we have noticed that your account has been hacked. Please to confirm that you are owner of account please send us your password and birth date. For any further questions use info@erepublik.com.
Thanks regards from your erepublik team.
1- Si mon compte avait bel et bien été hacké, pourquoi le hacker n'a pas changer mon mot de passe? Un bon hacker le ferait...
2- C'est bizzare que ADMINISTRATOR s'est enregistrer sur le site au jour 529 d'Erepublik (aujourd'hui).
3- Si mon compte avait bel et bien été hacké, le message aurait été lu par le hacker non? Il aurait pu facilement regarder ma date de fête, changer le mot de passe et les admins n'aurait rien vu. Biensûr...
4- Au lieu de me dire cela par email, ils m'aurait envoyer un message sur Erepublik sachant que peut-être je ne pourrais jamais revenir sur mon compte.
5- Comment les amdins ont su que j'avait été hacker? J'ai tout mon argent, rien n'a été fait pour me donner une mauvaise réputation, mon parti va bien et j'ai rien remarquer d'anormal. On dirait que j'ai tombé sur un gentil hacker!
Pour toutes ces raisons, ADMINISTRATOR est vraiment à ne pas faire confiance. Je suis maintenant sûr que je n'ai jamais été hacké, seulement que j'ai été contacter par un hacker voulant prendre mon compte. Ne donner pas votre mot de passe à n'importe qui! Imaginez si le compte du président serait hacké! Au revoir Canada! SVP votez cet article (et subscribé
😉) pour être sûr que personne ne tombe dans ce piège!
Thank you,
Merci,

Yes I received one as well, it's obviously a trick
DO NOT SEND ANY INFORMATION
The same ol' "I am your bank' scheme." All this hacking either adds to the complexity, depth, or RL-likeness of eRep or it demonstrates how sad some people can be.
I am not special enough to get a message?
Sorry Baldwin, just important people get them 😉
i think it might be party presidents getting them. ask cleo Ironman and David if they got one too. tom hagen is away so if he got one he wouldnt be there to respond 😛
So Do I Send My Information?
I would add that I would not click on any links or go to any web page in such msg's, I would be concerned with receiving a keylogger or such.
Trenton, Does There Happen To Be A Button That Makes You Type Like This Or Are You Doing It Manually?
I Think He Does It Manually.
Damn, that's tight. Thanks for the heads up.
ADMINISTRATOR is now ban from the game! Warning if you receive any other messages that are similar. Only true admins send messages like this (from their official Erepublik account). Now, let's see if he received some password and hacked account of important people... I hope not!
Seriosly I hate hackers!They just take our accounts away...🙁
Thanks for the heads up I would probably do it as I am really dum sometimes . lol
I feel so left out!
You'd have to be an idiot to fall for this.
And don't forget to change your password now if you give him yours!
If you change your password and want to make sure it is complex enough to be considered "safe", please feel free to send it to me for examination.
hehehe just kidding.
Don't listen to them. Maybe THEY are hackers. It's maybe not the real admin...
It's the main goal of the article to tell this...
eRepublic like any other Internet game or web browser specifically states that "an admin will NEVER ask you for your password" Its their creation they can change anything they want. they dont need your password to get into your account. all game makers have an override password that works for everything. they dont need yours
This guuy/these guys dont deserve the title hacker. fact most 'hackers' dont deserve that title. some of them could be called 'crackers' but only a few can be called hackers. a serious hacker doesnt waste his time scamming people or breaking into their accounts on video games, a hacker spends his time working with/developing software.
Pet peeve o' mine. Silly idiots like ADMINISTRATOR pretending to be hackers.
So yeah, if you gave him your password, mmmyeah. you're pretty much an idiot.
I want to buy a Q5 house, i'm waiting for offers.
I think that it's ironic
That some are so moronic
They still believe
Cannot conceive...
Such evil may be chronic

Ha ha ha. I like this one, it's so straight forward. I wouldn't even feel bad for these people who would loose their accounts because of such a stupid scum 🙂
DO NOT SEND ANYTHING. THANK YOU FOR WRITING THE ARTICLE MILOSLAV AND INFORMING PEOPLE.
Voted.
Whoever it is, isn't bright.
I haven't recieved one of these. Obviously, I'm not important enough.
The eCanadian government should act to prevent the canadian population about these stupid peoples.
Does anyone really fall for these types of scams?
*knock on door*
"I AM A FIREMAN, LET ME INSIDE WITH MY AXE TO CHECK FOR FLAMES!"
Nice to see somebody with the same 'peeve' as me, Ayeshan.
Hackers work on open source projects and are well respected among GNU, FSF, and similar groups. When people incorrectly refer to crackers, phreakers, and social engineers as 'hackers' it drives me insane, yet just about every computer user today does so.
Hackers are great people that bring some much needed innovation and security to a sadly over commercialised industry only for malicious idiots to discredit their title.
