One of the most serious problems each online [http://carrentalreno.org/bez-kategorii_2012_12_688.xml game] faces nowadays are hacking attempts. The game changes with time, and so do ways of getting access to another players account. This article focuses on hacking methods - the well-known ones as well as some which you might not have been aware of yet.

Tibia is a massive multiplayer online roleplaying game. By definition, these games require some sort of network connection, mostly with the biggest, worldwide system of networks called the Internet. While this allows players to spend their time online with people from all over the world, it also exposes them to multiple risks that arise from the use of the global network.

At the very beginning of a players experience with Tibia, a game account has to be created. While the account actually belongs to CipSoft, players are given the right to use and administer it fully according to their needs, of course for as long as their actions comply with the Tibia Rules. Paraphrasing a well-known saying, with some power comes some responsibility. It is the player who is held responsible for keeping the account safe at all times.

The very first creature you kill might contain some pieces of an item, which almost all Tibia players crave for - gold. In fact all the items have some value, which can be represented in either a small or large amount of gold pieces. One of the goals of the game, beside gaining levels, skills, fame and friends, is to become rich - both in valuable items and gold pieces. Some players will try to achieve this goal in a fair manner, some will not. There are two groups of players that are hated within the Tibia community because of the way they chose to become rich in-game: botters and hackers. Lets focus on the latter group.

While some players access the game using the Beta Flash Client, which is available on the official website, most of them still download the old-style stand-alone one. Whichever you choose, you face one or two security threats. First one is called website spoofing. Every time you log in to your account on the website, you should make sure that the address you are visiting starts with secure.tibia.com. There should also be an image of a padlock displayed next to the address bar or even inside it - this ensures that you are visiting the official Tibia website and that your login data is encrypted so you are safe to log in even while using an open Wi-Fi network. There are numerous fake websites which look just like the official Tibia website, so either always type the address manually, or check the address bar if you have followed a web link.

If you are among the group of players who use the stand-alone client, you should always download it from the official website. Even if fansites offer client downloads, you should not use those - there is always a risk that someone has manipulated those files by hacking such a fansite. Now that you know how to log in safely, lets discuss in-game hacking attempts.
