Tera? I can't imagine people getting that bent out of shape over records and going after you with rootkits. That game is nearly a decade old and has gone to shit. I played it on the PC off & on for like 2 years and just gave up since most of the players online just stand around in the main city doing nothing, and all of the higher end content requires groups where everyone knows what they're doing.
More than likely you downloaded and installed a mod for the game that had a trojan/virus. In particular, they had nude mods for the female characters iirc, so that probably explains why I saw so many noob female characters in the starter zones just doing nothing...
Overall, its just another Black Desert Online... much eye candy and little in the way of being an MMORPG unless you like repetitive done to death.
You probably need to re-evaluate your online habits. If you're viewing/downloading porn, installing illegal/unsupported game mods, accepting files from others you don't know, visiting questionable links, these things are bound to happen. Deep Freeze by Faronics is good for protecting computer configs & settings and against most malware by simply rebooting. I know of at least one college that uses it to avoid the IT nightmare of stupid people messing around on the campus computers. Nevertheless, it won't protect against rootkits or other malware specifically designed to get past reboot-to-restore software, and its not going to protect you from data theft.
i began to play that game due my girlfriend, i didnt want to play it, but when she left, i began to play all day haha, i was terrible, and i was insulted for be so bad in the game, and when i became really good in the game, new haters arrived... haters that doesnt like you to be good in the game, and this is the interesting part, if you are bad playing, you get insults, but if you are good in a game, then you began to be accused first, of cheating, next, a lot of haters, and then, finally, the supreme hater, the one that hacks your account
i miss the old internet, i used to play ultima online official server, and it was a very nice place to meet and talk with a lot of people, diablo 2 in the beggining too, helbreath international also, but was maybe in 2008 when everything began to change
in 2001 i was hacked in battle net due a mistake, i started a game through TCP IP, hosting a server through battle .net tool, i didnt know in that momment that my computer was going to be a server haha
who hacked me in tera told me this
we went into a party to do a boss, guess when we go in that mode we are in a node or something, then they can track better the ips, then when we went in the final boss, he told me that he is hacking me remotly, then he was in my computer, passed my firewall, passed everything, he also, moved my mouse to make me die
that was the last die that i played tera, i loved that game, and i was really good, but this guy, made me think how vulnerable internet its, for kids, young girls, young boys
if someoneday i have a kid and he plays a mmorpg, i will buy to him a computer just for that, and other for personal things, nice to see someone that played tera
update about the post: i already mounted a firewall computer, and im playing with iptables in ssh and others things
thanks for all the help people, have a nice week!
If you have a static IP, have it changed to dynamic
i have 3 ISP here, but the problem is, when you log in in a video game, your log in IP is recorded, example, lineage 2 classic, guess was the same with tera, anyway, tera in that year had many vulnerabilities, after i was hacked, someone did a global hack uploading something in the chat general window, i dont really know how many others vulnerabilities tera had, or maybe i was hacked through my youtube channel and twitch live streamming? i had 3 things opened when that happened
twtich streamming
youtube streamming
and tera
i still have the video of that day due while xplit streams, it also makes a video in my hard drive, i have both, the streaming and the hard drive video
was an interesting experience, and is real, you can have a firewall, but if you have something installed, that can create a backdoor, no firewall or antivirus will protect you
guess they found a vulnerability in twtich, youtube, or that game, probabbly that game, youtube and twtich are giant companies, i really doubt the vulnerability was there, more, with that i said about that vulnerability in tera chat days after i was hacked
if there is a game that i will always want to play again will be tera, i hope it be a tera 2 or something
good luck all! and thanks for the help
Umm, what hack methods did they use? How was your network breached?
If they just guessed passwords or caught you with phishing, nothing you do in your home network will change a thing.
my network was fine, at least is what i believe, i didnt have dd wrt, i had cisco default firewall, problem was they found a vulnerability in tera, or in twtich or in youtube, we are talking about like 5 or 6 years ago, probabbly that is fixed now, a lot of time passed
if it was as i think, the problem was an app, not cisco firewall or windows firewall
