Hacking was always popular in Russian version, and everyone from new players to Paladins was afraid of that.

The administration always knew about that fear of its employees and always tried to prevent hackers from achieving their goals. The reasons to hack were changing, it is a logical event which depends on a few factors. The main one of them is the numbers of Paladins and their weapons.

In the early year of 2002 when the amount of Paladins was much less then now, and new people just started to come to this place; the chance to block the hacker was about 0%. The paladins were working overtime and with all questions independently from its position in the guild. There were no telegraph systems. It was a perfect time for hackers. In process of life the telegraphs were added and the second password to protect the paladins was added also.

Hackers are the people who want to get the money and stuff out of your character and just block it as fast as they can.

This includes the real money what you have, so be aware of web pages with a free cheeses and “new” Fight Club Cities. Also don’t make passwords like "123" or "QWERTY". Your password should be at least 6 digits and contain the small letters, big letters and numbers. Those are the passwords that are the hardest to hack. Never write your name or date of birth in the password.

The Day of FC is very close. Soon the English version of FC is going to be just as popular as Russian one and people from all over the world will play this game and spend their real money there and of course, all hackers (notice that 95% of them are Russians) would like to hack this page and characters on it with even more effort then in Russian version. Why??? Because everyone in Russia and within its borders knows that West people are often the "moneybags" and logically they have better and richer characters. Usually thieves use a different web page, e-mail or ICQ to hack your chars, but there is always something new that will appear and we don't realize that now. We must be prepared and use the simple rules of security.

People who want to steal your character usually need to get a password for that from you by the reason of buying it or going to special web site.(The selling or buying characters in FC is strongly forbidden)This people would do everything possible to steal your password: they would make web pages with viruses on it, encourage you to take a part in a lottery, join the clan or new on-line game. A lot of people already know that links in the chat is always better to skip and do not go there, that’s why people do not think about it as a problem.

Team of Paladins and Administration were speaking with Microsoft about decreasing chances of copying the main page of the game that’s why we would like to tell you to install the latest update possible for your browser and Windows system.(http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com)

If you use Windows XP it is strongly recommended to install Service Pack 2. As we told before the anti-hacking team of paladins now has an ally, which is Laboratory of Kasperky anti-virus group. The new AVP 5.0 antivirus available on 7 languages: Russian, English, German, French, polish, Chinese and Japanese protects you just like never, if you would download all required updates. We encourage you to buy this product. You could do it either on-line or in your local area.(http://www.kaspersky.com)

In this partnership the anti-hacking group got knowledge and determines the new Viruses and "Trojan Horses" (which are the programs to steal your passwords from your computer). In this partnership more then 2 Trojans were determined, two of them are Trojan.Win32.BKClient and Trojan.JS.Telex were designed specifically for FC. And this is a break-through.

If you purchase Kaspersky antivirus you could easily say that you protected by antivirus especially designed for FC.

I think this is it. Play safely and if you would have any trouble please ask Paladins for help!
