    Post Definition of a "hacker"



    Okay so it has come to my attention that many people are misusing the word "hacker" and "hacked".
    Here are the definitions;
    1.
    One who is proficient at using or programming a computer ; a computer buff.
    2. One who uses programming skills to gain illegal access to a computer network or file.
    In the Graal context, using a third party program to gain an unfair advantage on the game.
    Now there are all these threads saying "I've been hacked" or "he's hacking me", but the only way someone can gain access to your account if you give them your personal information such as your email and password.
    So if you give someone your own information and they get on your account, it's not hacking. It's simply just typing in the information you gave them.
    The way people and Era try to gain your information is by telling you to visit websites with their keylogger installed (Keylogger=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke_logging). So if you see someone advertising you to visit a suspicious website, report it right away!

    Thank you for this thread; this will surely help people realise the difference between a hacker and account scammer thru trades.

    My friend hacked my umbrella, please help me get it back or I am quitting era! I spend $9000000 on this game! Lol.
    In this case, the word "hack" means "scam" which is what a lot of new/every player says.
    Questions? Don't be afraid to message me.

    I am going to have to add on to this, they can also obtain control of your account through an application for iOS devices called UDID.

    What about frame hacks? How do you report and catch people doing that?
