just cos someone says they are doesn't mean its true.
I am so sick of people saying that it is not possible to hack people on Cubic Castles.
YES! It is possible.
While they are not hacking the game servers directly, it is still MOST DEFINITELY possible to hack a player. You have to be targeted specifically, but it is possible. Players can be hacked through third party software, the emails they use for their accounts, and even from downloading new updates.
It may not be possible to hack the ENTIRE game, but people make friends, and people make enemies. If a hacker decides you are an enemy, then you may become a target. That's just what happens. Don't let this deter you from playing Cubic Castles, especially if you enjoy it, just be aware that it can happen.
So yeah, I guess that's it for my rant. Thanks to those of you who bothered to read it :)
If hackers could hack anyone then they'd go straight for the rich people with all the items eg. dread, super, chickenlips etc.
So its people who give out their info, don't play safely or use dodgy websites.
How does downloading an update put you at risk?
more info and tips on this matter can be found here

and here's some more
and more password tips
Also, never used a third party site to get free cubits or anything, so there are definitely other ways to become a victim. I'm not sure at all how. All I know is I got a virus from downloading an update, from the main website, not a strange, dangerous website. The virus let this hacker have access to my email account, and therefore my CC account.
PS Is this the hacking you're talking about?
That's why he gets kicked all the time.
The game detects thats hes doing actions too quickly so it boots him.
don't even consider it... you only get trouble for it.
Another common one we see, and this one I find so irritating, is phishing scams for passwords. The "hacker" will promise free cubits to your account if you enter your username and password into a web page. They then use that to steal your account.
Now as long as your password isn't terrible, brute-forcing password attacks don't work well, because we lock a computer out for an hour after 5 failed attempts.
The less common ones we see are "memory hacks", where a player finds something in the client stored in memory and pokes new data into that memory. I spend most of my anti-hack time dealing with these kinds of things.
Given the MMO nature of the game, it's impractical for the server to do 100% of the work- some has to be passed down to clients, so there's always a chance of vulnerabilities there, just like every other MMO.
So, yes, CC is "hackable", just like every other game on the Internet, but we try to deal with it and keep up the best we can. I hope that clears things up a bit :)
You can close it now
