August's receipient is Stop the hackers for her outstanding contribution to hacking awareness.
Too often recently we see threads of users being hacked. Some are fake just trying to scam items from people, or from avoidable tragedies such as password or account sharing but lately there has been an upsurge in genuine hackings. These have been done in a few ways: impersonating gaia staff via pm for passwords due to suspected hackings or testing sites i.e. for battle system or other such fake log in pages. Or an even newer threat embedding keylogs or fake log in pages into urls. The urls can be anything. I have seen them embedded in giveaway links, visit my quest page or art shop etc links, banners of all sorts and many more imaginative ways. So in todays gaming world one must be very careful. It is always wise not to click links from people you do not trust or to curse over them to see where they lead first. This does not always work mind you as tiny url or clever domain names can still deceive. All the same I beleive the valiant efforts of Stop the hackers should be rewarded as her efforts remind us to be vigilant.
His helpful message of
STOP THE HACKERS
---> Phishing links may be disquised as all sorts of things! Links to "Quest threads" "Art suctions" Anything! CHECK LINKS BEFORE CLICKING THEM! Simply scroll over a link/IMG link, and check the url at the bottom of your browser! If it says anything other than gaiaonline.com in the link, do not click it! Report the person right away. Beware of TINYURL. Only click on Tinyurl'd links from people you TRUST.

Thank you. -Lish.
is an asset to us all thank-you, your efforts make me smile =3 Your reward shall be a July 2007 letter
Thank you very much. The fact that what I'm doing is appreciated, makes all the differance to me. I know I can't do much, I'm not a mod, I don't have an outstanding mark on gaia.. but I truly and sincerely hope my efforts will help gaia out in the long run. I will be expanding my effort shortly.. Perhaps making another mule, that I will post in the chatterbox, and maybe even the GCD. Though Ill have to be careful there.
Anyways. Thank you so much. This really means alot too me, you have no idea.
Psst. I'm a girl. x3 <3
