Hacked Message/Scam Attempt on our Alliance Chat

[The Brain]

A message on our alliance chat claiming to be ADMIN with text in red was posted recently. However when you click on the "ADMIN" and visit it leads you to some random player in another alliance (Name: Aus, Level: 29, Alliance: PBA Champions). Is this some kind of hack and scam? The message leads to a website where you they obviously are trying to steal player accounts in by enticing players for crowns (dncrwn.com - claiming to be a dominations crown shop). That is some really shady activity and a very serious security breach to this game IMHO.

See attached images for reference.

This seems to have been broadcasted globally - to all alliances. It stores your Player ID, because you can only use it once. They can use this ID to take control of your account. However, it probably won't happen, they just want to sell crowns. What worries is is that the person doing this not only has access to the database that stores user data, judging by the ability to add crowns to any account. But if that wasn't bad enough, they have a backdoor of some sort into the game server itself, as seen by the way they are able to broadcast to every alliance at once, with the name ADMIN. Also, the player the message points to is spoofed in some way to appear as different players to different people if you look at their base.

Yep, we got this message too and for me the visit button lead to a player named Atikiz, lvl 77.

This is pretty messed up but luckily we don't have stupid people in the guild.


Better take care of this quick, Nexon.

Thanks for the info! We're working on this issue as I type. Please remember that giving your ID to anyone aside from Customer Support is not recommended.

FYI information russian hackers even posted in FB group that they worked hard to hack it, so they may sell crowns again, 1 shot kill, unlimited troops, etc. I thought it is some clouns, but it was true it seems. There is one good russian saying: Our song is good, start it over.

In our chat id was also ADMIN, but when visiting the base it said lv78 Assyrian from The Terribles alliance

Visited this "ADMIN" in our alliance and it went to some classical age guy named TIMMAI. "Visit this website for free crowns" We all know it's bull-s.

I think that every alliance is affected. Mine is just my girlfriend and me, and we got this spam, twice.
