Hello ladies and gentlemen,
 
It has come to our attention that some users have been still getting hacked in the past weeks. This thread already have been done a few times but I believe it's time for another heads up to the new players.
 
The main reason of it happening is other RSPS that had their database compromised and now once again we're HIGHLY recommending users change their passwords to a UNIQUE one and enable 2FA if you haven't already, we encourage you to activate 2FA so you have the highest level of protection on your account. If your account is hacked there will be nothing we can do as we have offered you security for your account.
 
Do not click on any links people send to you via PM on forums offering rewards for finding bugs or anything else, just report to any staff member ASAP.
 
Here is a guide on how to set 2FA up - http://www.alora.io/...tication-guide/
 
AND if you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM myself or any of our Staff Members that are online at the time OR make a thread in this section so we can help you further on it: http://www.alora.io/...ssword-support/
 
For players that don't know how to change their password, you can find it in your User CP settings.

Once you go on your settings, you go to 'Email & Password'. From there you can change your password, and your email if you wish to.

It's very important to the community spread the word in-game because is not everyone that use the forums.

Definitely very important information for people to have. 2FA is a necessity and also of course comes with bonuses such as Vote book XP. Always use different passwords from other places! Thanks Mewtwo.

I mean you can always prevent being hacked by changing your password every a week and using of course 2FA. Was fun to get a message from someone that I was selected to test beta even though last time I logged online and was online more than two minutes was a year ago.  :khaledthink:​ 

 

I hope this thread will ensure that people keep their accounts secured.

2FA is important, if you don't set up 2FA right away, you're doing it wrong :P

Thanks for the important announcement, Mewtwo. I feel a reminder regarding security should be announced on the forum every once in a while, rather than just when an issue has occured though.

 

I also have a security guide, which includes how to secure not only your Alora account, but your email, yourself, etc. as well. Check it out Here.

 

Thanks again, Mewtwo.

A very important thread, which can’t be reposted enough imo.
Thanks for another heads up!

Number 1 reason RuneScape accounts are hacked.
Low security.

2FA is your best bet for maximum security, it's unlikely a hacker can by-pass it. Hopefully everyone's account is protected for good.
