Topic: Warning: An RPG hacking game (Read 1672 times)
Could be ShareCoin dev, as well.
Yes, I got that PM and tought the same. I am using Linux tough so first I could not try the game, and second if I had tried I would be safe. Good that you warn other users for that tough, I admire that. And one tip from me: use Linux, Windows sucks 
Linux is wonderful, but don't think you're immune just because you use it.
If you had tried it you may not have been safe. If it were an .exe file you'd have had to run it in wine, which is capable of running some windows viruses.
Also, as billotronic points out, there are cross platform malwares out there in the wild too. Common sense must still be applied.
thanks for the warning, so that others will not be scamed 
and here is someone else thinks he can play around:

Yeah, as soon as I got that PM I thought to myself "How many idiots are going to fall for this?"
I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of this sort of thing in the future.
omg many, tons of guys will fall for this trick.I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of this sort of thing in the future.
as CFA said:
U would be surprised how many people download this shit bathing in excitement

Be aware that more users than the stated " vienisu" are sending these messages.
Yesterday I received it from a different user, which was "brand new" also. I deleted the message so I dont exactly remember his name anymore. It was something like "giengaru". I can't find him anymore (hopely banned).
I don't trust much people on the internet, and I think that's what saved me yesterday
. I don't even open such links. I've had such PM's earlier, someone who wanted me to check whether his miner wasn't working. He was sending me some "screenshots". When I opened the URL on an old mobile Phone it appears that it was a .zip file with some .exe programs in it.. Fail xD.

Hear hear to that! Good ol *nix laughing all the way for the win.
Does anyone know of any virus or trojan that can actually affect a Linux box? I can't say I have heard of any but surely there must be something?
Better to avoid any game-for-BTC thing unless it is coming from a trusted dev. team.
or in WORST CASE, you may try it using a virtual machine OS.
I personally never heard of Linux-Trojan before, but maybe other guys can provide us with more info. in case I'm wrong.
maybe its the honorcoin dev
+1I guess that's him too, the old honorcoin dev.
I remember reading about this one
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2081600/new-ddos-malware-targets-linux-and-windows-systems.html
And I would have to assume there are a shit ton more out there we just don't hear about.
[edit] lol posted too soon

this is exactly of what I had in the back of my mind. Cross platform attacks must exist in the wild... why wouldn't you add em just to ensure massive propagation of your payload?

This guy is active since the launch of Honorcoin.
I got this PM too about a week ago and reported it to mods, not sure if anything was done.

Lol wtf. His game is a trojans' hive

Good evening girls and guys.
Ok there is a new account which is: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/vienisu-345637
He sent to many - including me - a private invitation message to download his " new " RPG game and try it, note that that account had been registred today 19th of June.
I would like to warn everyone from trying this RPG game cause it is mostly nothing but a code used to hack into accounts to steal users money from different trading sites, it had happened before when the same RPG game had been sent to many users and they lost their money which had been sold and transferred by a hacker.
Don't forget to activate the 2FA at any of your trading sites and keep your self safe.
Good luck..

I received that PM too, yesterday.
I did report it but obviously the mods havent punished (> banned) him.
Dont even think about opening URLs from strangers, and especially don't download stuff!
