    Ross-Tech hack

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Posting in here for awareness, their forum was hacked and bogus emails were sent out to many looking for monetary donations.

    Ross-tech admins sent out emails to all who have accounts setup on their forum requesting password changes—those are valid.

    Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere on the Audizine!

    Understood, maybe check your spam folders—don’t know.

    It’s on the site itself, Uwe saying on there it’s unknown as to how many were actually compromised.

    The time stamp for the “change password” notification email shows like 2am which was way odd, it was just the admins doing damage control.

    I get the appeal of wanting to mod games to enhance your experience, but it's crucial to be cautious, especially with hacks and cheats. These can lead to serious consequences like getting banned. It's always wise to stay within the game's rules and guidelines.
