Yowch

These last two days haven't been fun for anybody who is leader of a clan. Plenty to worry about.

The whole issue is that a couple of days ago, this guy hacked into Chris Homan's account. And you know how he got the password? He read it in clan chat. Yowch.

Now, you might just think that this is unlikely to happen to you, for you know everyone in your clan, and you can trust them, and so can everybody else. But, well, it only takes five seconds to read a clan chat message. So, this guy could come in with a clean record, read an acount sitting thread, and be done with it, he's in your account. And if you're in a clan like Rising Stars, or a low down clan hungary for members, he'll get in really very easily, through no fault of the leader.

The issue is that we can't just not let people in because they might want to hack into an account. Unless we set up our clan on the basis of invitation only, but that, for many, is not acceptable. That isn't the philosophy of some clans, that's not what we're about, not what we want to do. We want to be open to all.

Thankfully, the guy is now permabanned, and that's great, we can have some confidence. But still, watch out for these things, and be careful with your pass. Don't post it in clan chat, although you might think it to be limited to those few in the clan, anybody could join at any time.
