We take your security seriously and have done what we can on this end to minimise any risk by having an account here.
Users of this site have been targeted before, and one user that we know of has lost their account due to information they posted on this site DOB/secret questions.
Some of the steps we have taken to protect your accounts include:
- We have turned off the ability of the forum to show someone's birthday, as date of birth could be used to gain access to other accounts ie email
- We have masked user emails, for privacy reasons and the fact that phishing emails have been sent to clan members in the past to try and gain access to accounts
- The majority of forums are hidden from search engines and guests so that information you post can't be used to try and guess any security questions you may have elsewhere
- The site uses SSL, although only offering minimal protection it does protect your communication between your computer and the site, it also means you should be able to see clearly if you are actually on the KoA site. The SSL we use also comes with MacAfee accreditation so the site is regularly scanned for malware etc. this shows on the bottom right hand of the forum screen or you can check here: https://www.mcafeesecure.com/verify?host=koaclan.co.uk
- The forum software tracks all log-in attempts and suspicious log-in activity is sign-posted to admins
- Do NOT use your runescape password as a password for this forum
- Make a STRONG password
- Use 2-step Authentication or similar where possible
EG:
The Runescape Authenticator
Google Authentication
