Recently we've gotten a fair share of complaints that people are getting their login credentials stolen. I will go through some quick basics, to keep your login credentials safe!
Now, how do these "hackers" manage to steal said credentials?
The number 1 and most commonly used way is Phishing, and this is what we mainly see on MnF Club. This involves them sending an email or giving a link to a site that may look fairly legitimate (BUT IT IS NOT), because once you fill in your login credentials and whatever is asked for, it will all be logged and stolen.
An example of this would be that someone gives you a link to a "Free Premium Generator" site. There is no such thing, they do not work, and is in fact a phishing attempt to steal your login credentials. They often try to make some money by forcing people to do these advertisement things as well, before even getting access to the "Free Premium Generator". If something seems too good to be true, chance is, it most likely is.
How do you avoid getting your login credentials stolen? For starters, make sure to keep your computer safe. Make sure what you download is from a trustworthy source. Don't enter your login credentials for MnF Club on sites outside of MnF Club itself, and that's https://www.mnfclub.com/game.html only (any other source claiming to be affiliated with MnF Club or giving free Premium, and asking for your login credentials is UNSAFE)! The MnF Club team will not ask you for your password!
As well as that, you will see in the left side of the address bar the fact that now, the official website of MnF Club is using the HTTPS protocol, which makes it more secure.
