    Hello all,

    If you go to abusewith.us, you can see a lot of famous servers getting hacked (forums databases & character files). The most recent being:

    - ArteroPk
    - Zamorak
    - IconPS

    Do you guys have some suggestions to increase security for such events to not occur to anyone in the future?

    Thanks

    PS: Move this to right section if this is not the right section!

    - 2 step verification with any email accounts used to handle your files.

    - Always change default passwords, they are sitting ducks in your emails waiting to be abused.

    - Do not use any passwords you would regularly use, create a complicated one and write it down on a piece of paper.

    These servers usually get hacked because they're careless idiots.

    Totally agree with the last part.

    Don't use nulled Software, keep it up to date and hire someone to keep the site secure.

    I'm of the opinion that all character related data should be stored in a database, with passwords hashed with a randomly generated user dependant salt. I'd then configure access to the database so that only whitelisted ip addresses can connect. For server owners and developers, it's a good idea to use a unique password.

    Obfuscate your client, this will make it harder for anyone to abuse it or make cheat clients
    Keep your Antivirus up to date and remember the best Antivirus is common sense
    2 Step Verification is a breakthrough in modern security, USE IT
    Never give anyone you don't absolutely trust 100% access to your Server code or the VPS
    If you are one who regularly lets people help you over teamviewer make sure that you turn off the "Shared Clipboard" setting, this lets people silently copy files from your computer to theirs

    Also a side note, encrypt passwords, it's your players who have entrusted you with the passwords they probably use for 90% of everything else.

    That's just what I can think of off the top of my head.
