Important: account thief alert

Hello Basilers,

I'll keep it short: one of more people are going around attempting to steal accounts. They do so by posting keyloggers and a picture that promises to give you advice on how to scam referral sites into giving you more money (or NX!) than you're supposed to receive. Even a few minutes ago I forwarded a person who had posted a suspicious link and claimed s/he had stolen many accounts that way.

In order to protect your account stay away from links you do not trust. Don't click on them and, open door, [b]don't submit your MapleStory info, Basil Market info, bank info, school login, email info, [i]whatever[/i] if asked to do so[/b].
If a website appears black and then asks you to download a Java plug-in make sure to get the heck out of there, it might be a RAT (Remote Access Trojan).
We've done our best to filter out all file sharing websites that have been used to spread these trojans, so the account thief has now moved to URL shorteners. If an URL has been shortened treat it as a potential risk.

[header]How you can help[/header]

If you see a suspicious link don't take the slow way (report) or the slower way (ticket), but take the highway. PM one of us, or even better, PM a number of us. It's extremely important that the account theft is stopped, but we need your help to do so. The reports box is very full (we've been inactive for different reasons- way to all go at the same moment -_-), so that's too slow at the moment. All of us except Eeveepony and MrBasil can be PMed.

[i]But you said you'd keep it short![/i] Yeah, this is my version of "short". T_T
