During my time on BYOND i have seen many people become friends and start to trust one another, but this trust is usually broken by one or the other. I have heard many people on BYOND talk about other BYOND members "hacking" them and i wonder, is BYOND a gateway for hackers? I mean the friendships on BYOND are made very quickly and can be very false a lot. Here is an example i would like to show you. http://www.spacestation13.com/Forums/ viewtopic.php?p=3122#3122
I was also speaking with Phoenix man about this, clearly what he has done is illegal. This includes Theft and also virus distributing, but the question is will anything be done?

Phoenix Man is very much a wannabe hacker/programmer. He also classes memory editing to be "hacking". He also likes to claim that he makes a lot of his programs, but i havent seen one he has made. He has made some mini games using a drag n drop program though.

And the best part is the file is only a medi player. That in no way talks to the internet :P. why do people belive him?
Anyway get a program fire-wall like ZoneAlarm too, This will stop outbound information from leaving your computer. | |
A gateway? Nah these are the only people Claiming they are hackers.
Phoenix Man EvilZombiez(Has a new key and apparently changed his ip to evade the ban) They basically try to send you trojans and if you dont accept the file they say good bye [censored for the public] and log out or pager ban you. Nothing to be afraid of ive had past experiences with both of them. --Goz | |
Yes but anyone can be a so called "hacker".Going to google and searching it and finding programs.Most people that call them self "hackers" have these programs which means they are'nt really hacking into anyhting.Just typing your email or what ever it needs to be done.

Who is this "EvilZombiez" I've heard about?I also heard someone that shut down byond in 2001 or 99?Is it true?

I was arround in 01 and i have to say that rumor is false, whoever told you that does not know what they are talking about. Perhaps in 99 i wasnt arround then so im not sure about what happened then. --Goz | |

EvilZombie is cool once you get to know him. :P That's the problem, he befriends people and then betrays them. --Goz | |
Then you just can't be stupid enough for him to betray you. XD
"Ok, Kujila, will you close your firewall and anti-vrus scanner?" "Why?" "Because....uh...this executable...won't work with them" "Oh, ok" "Ok, here now I'll send it...10% 50% 90%...done!" "Ok, now I'll just double click, and....HUH?" "AHAHA NUBBY" *Your warning level has been increased from 0% to 10%* *Your warning level has been increased from 10% to 20%* *Your warning level has been increased from 20% to 30%* EvilZombie signed off at 13:24:12 *PC shuts down* No, that never happened....to me, any ways lol ~Kujila | |

This has nothing to do with BYOND though. Gullible people can be found anywhere on the internet.

sounds like he*s just talking out the side of his mouth- best to let him fade away and ignore him. if he does anything to the hub or the forum, then we can bag him.
oh, and this is not 'hacking', but 'cracking'- which is considered an illegal activity he is pretending to do. yeah, yeah, i know i go on about this often enough, but i'm on a self-appointed crusade to fix this media-twisted definition. hacking is the effort of figuring out how something works, or improving upon it's existing functionality. cracking, guessing, using other people's algorithms/scripts/codes to discover passwords, or distributing viruses/trojans is *not* hacking. | |
Yeah, i also know of EvilZombieZ, he is a total newb. But what im trying to do is just wake everyone up so they are a bit more cautious when it comes to accepting files, just a reminder.

He says hes not a "script kiddie", then admits to being one. Rofl. Funny.
| |
lol...EvilZombiez ... such a very long time since I heard of him... well, I can safely say he has no life, I have proof lol >.> Not to mention our past discussion <.<
| |
He's a little script kiddie, ignore 'em.
Get AVG Free Edition anti-virus if you don't have an anti-virus program already.
