Prevent Account Hacking

Please beware of the following account hacking approaches, and secure your own account in cautions.

 

I. Using a fake official website to diddle account

Copy DDTank website and release false information to defraud user account and password.

This kind of website may look exactly like the real DDTank website, all links are directed to official site. But false notice and announcement will appear on the homepage, asking users to click and fill in some information and win reward or get a hack and etc. If the user follows the link, it will result in the loss of account and password.

How to prevent:

All event details will be released on Pockie Ninja official site: http://ddt.game321.com/. Please Never click links shown in any other sites and forum with similar domain as DDTank.

 

II. Pretending to be official staff and GM

This is a common method for hackers to use. Use names similar to administrator or game system, such as "System" or "GM", get player account information and password by sending messages in the name of claiming rewards or official event.

 

Example:

1. False GM message: Your account has illegal operation. Please provide us your account and password for investigation purpose. Otherwise your account will be banned.

   2. False system message: Congratulations! You win our lucky rewards. Please login to xxxxxx.com to claim your reward.

How to prevent:

Please be aware: DDTank will never ask for your account and password in-game or in any email whatsoever.

We'll only release notice and announcement on the official site for any prize-winning news. We'll Not contact player in-game and ask for any personal information.  

Please report to our live support if you find any fraud messages. We'll take serious measures against these scams as soon as possible.

 

III. False Friend

Some cheaters will pretend to be your friends at first and win your trust. They'll grab your possessions once you telling them your account information. Please do NOT share these information with anyone else and keep the password information away from prying eyes!

How to prevent:

Remember, Never tell anybody your personal information. Cheaters may use a namer similar to your real friend. For example, if you have a friend called "Tanker", then the cheaters may use the name of "Tanker" and ask to trade with you.

 

In this case, the best way to prevent any loss is check the name from your friend list before trade.  

IV. Offline Trade

Unlike trade in real life, which money can be paid on delivery, offline trade of account and virtual goods usually have verbal commitment only, such as "I'll pay you once items are delivered." There're, of course, some hidden pitfalls in these promises.  

 

Since the email for account registration cannot be modified, there're cases that player purchased an account but could only play for several days as the password was changed by its original owner.

How to prevent:

There's no secure method to prevent offline trade at the moment. The best way to avoid any loss is try not to trade items or account offline.

 

Account and character ownership belongs to player who can provide accurate registration information and top-up history. Please try to avoid buying account from others as the account information may already be recorded by others.
