Update regarding the recent hackings
It has come to our attention that the string of recent MSN hackings has been due to an exploit in MSN's recovery system. As far as we are aware, this exploit has been discovered and patched by Microsoft.
As always, the Sythe staff still urge you to stay vigilant and to always take extreme caution while trading.

Re: Update regarding the recent hackings
Thanks for clearing this up n4n0, it is a shame for the people who got hacked as they now have to pay back what was scammed.

Re: Update regarding the recent hackings
He sounds like someone who doesn't get out much. Anyway, I believe Microsoft have patched this now, hopefully everything will be sorted out within the next few days on who needs to pay who. Thanks to n4n0 + Verts for the Annoucements about the situation.

Re: Update regarding the recent hackings
Thanks for the update.
And I have on suggestion to make your live accounts safer and easier to recover. Don't use the microsoft domains. Get a hush or a yahoo email account and then make the live ID with it.

Hold your mouse cursor over the link, does it still go to Sythe.org down the bottom? If not it's just a phisher.

Exactly, it doesn't, but it goes to sky-ebooks, which I could have sworn I saw someone on sythe post a link to before.

Re: Update regarding the recent hackings
I want to personally thank N4N0 for all of the work he has done with this, without him in out corner, there would have been a lot more scams, and a lot more unhappy members
thanks again bud.
