| Author | ALERT: Phishing Website Threat |
|---|
we had receive some complaints from players about account getting hacked or losing gold, resources for nothing after visit some PHISHING websites.
======
Q. What is phishing?
In the field of computer security, phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as user names, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.
Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to fool users, and exploits the poor usability of current web security technologies.
======
Q. What is happening now?
there is no official announcement from admin that Lords of War and Money (as LoWM following) had tag with any website to allow players to vote and get any exp, resources and gold.
any website asking for your LoWM account id and password are consider as phishing. you might lose anything from you account if you give out the id and password. we might not pay any responsibility on those cases.
REMEMBER, staff of LoWM will never ask for you password. And, there is one and ONLY one website for LoWM.com - https://www.lordswm.com.
=====
Q. What can i do if i had visit those phishing websites?
You should change your password asap before someone invade and causing any lose on your account.
=====
Q. What can i do if i found any lose on my account?
After change your password, check your transfer logs. It can show where your gold or resources gone and you can make report.
You can post the problem under Complaints and Application section OR write a mail to admin (https://www.lordswm.com/pl_info.php?id=4) to complain. Be patience, it will take time to solve the problem out.
Yelling in forum or chat will not get problem solved.

Regardless,
Pang | | All clan leaders can copy this msg and send with clan mail to inform all members | All clan leaders can copy this msg and send with clan mail to inform all members
done. | | that's good to know | | Done. | thanks for the information
but i also feel pity on those who are in more than 2 clans | | I sent it to about 6 clans :) | Lol, times like this I'm happy I'm in one clan only =)
Warriors' Guild members got the warning, btw. | Should we give a list of Phishing Website, or a description how they look like? Then our players have an idea.
For example, I received a PM this morning from a lvl 1 player, elfass [1] (https://www.lordswm.com/pl_info.php?id=4539569).
In the msg, there is a similar website to our game website:
http://www.lordswm.XXXX/
.XXXX is another domain instead of .com (I would like NOT to post the exact domain for security of our players).
I didn't visit the website, but I believe it's one of the phishing website. and when I click on the player, he has been blocked by admin.
Anyway, just share my experience with you.
Be careful, and Enjoy the game. :) | Phishing Website is any website asking for your id/pass. LoWM staff will never ask for such things, so if you see such a request you should know it's a fake.
On a brighter note, looks like this particular disaster has passed. | | do you think that the current server problems have any link with those phishers? |
This topic is long since last update and considered obsolete for further discussions.
