Is it true what they are saying?

Did RSbot get hacked?
If so why didn't they have a firewall

edit - Someone also told me that they are stealing usernames and passwords. eek

I don't know if it is true or not, but I also heard maybe bout a week ago that they got hacked. I don't know. And if they are stealing username/passwords somehow, then I'm just glad I don't use RSbot, and only use SCAR.

Even if they are stealing usernames i'm lucky becuase i have recovery questions but my bank pin will take 6 days to come so i better be careful from now. I guess i should just uninstall it

My guess is yes, luckily my username and password is completely different than everything else i use, but the site has been down today, and has been giving 500 - internal error before today for about a week.

They dont steal passes, cuz the info is saved in your Settings folder WITHIN the RsBot folder, and its an .xml file.

500 Errors are like an failsafe or something, just hit refresh a few times (5 shud be enuf) and then it shud load, but ATM the whole server is down.

500 - Internal Server Error means the server is down (or something like that). Just refresh your page until it starts to load, and wait.

At one point RSBot WAS hacked and WAS sending your passwords off, but not to any of the administrators. As soon as they learned of it, they took out the malicious code and put out a safe version. At least, that's how I heard it.
