Illegitimate access attempts on game accounts

Dear RoMmunity,

Lately we noticed an increase in illegitimate access attempts on game accounts. Should you experience such, please contact our Support immediately. While we were not able to verify this with 100% certainty as the reason, the issue seems to be connected to a recently verified security vulnerability with Java.

We would therefor like to notify you about this security vulnerability within some versions of the Java Application, and there are several websites using said vulnerability to gather your data.

If you would like to check if you have Java installed and are vulnerable, please visit this link:
http://zulu.zscaler.com/research/java_version.html

There you can also find a link with instructions on how to deactivate the application: http://research.zscaler.com/2012/08/are-…java-0-day.html

The most recent Java-Update unfortunately did not fix this issue: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-575…st-java-update/


General Advice:

If you notice a possible hacking attempt on your account, please contact our Support immediately. Our support staff will investigate your case and assist you with any possible losses. The support members are always the first ones you should contact in such a case.

You can find a thread/announcement with general advice for your account security here. Please ensure that you always follow such advice and change your password on regular basis and never give your login details to anyone.

Also, please stay up to date on general security news and advice given on other sources, such as i.e.: http://www.us-cert.gov/home-and-business/.
