Injected But Not Ejected

Share:

A while back there was a major exploit in Facebooks system for buying Reward Points. I warned you not to buy Reward Point injections from the black market as there would be a great risk of getting your account suspended (1). A Customer Support document which has been pulled addressed the mass banning of accounts. Try the link to this page by clicking here and you will see it's gone. Fortunately, I take a lot of screen shots so you can still read it below.

Zynga didn't actually ban everyone they caught using the Tamper Data system to inject Reward Points. It's no secret that members of the group ™● were caught injecting their accounts. The video below was all over the internet at one time. If you can't view it because YouTube has blocked it in some countries, go here. I mean no disrespect to ™● and assume they have done something about their members who were caught. I don't know enough about the situation to say one way or another. This happened in other clans as well and groups can't always control what all their members do.



Here is a screen shot of the Tamper Data instructions posted by a member of ™● on their group wall.

And here is one of a member addressing account suspensions within the group. It's a well know fact that the players shown in the video above were simply rolled back to the status they were at before the injections took place and no permanent suspensions were issued.

Here are the instructions that were shared by many and reported to Zynga at the time. This method no longer works but I still blurred out some of the code so you don't waste your time trying. How many accounts are still out there that successfully used this method is a question I don't know the answer to.

1.  Install Tamper Data AddOn for Firefox 2.  Clear All Cookies & Sign In To Desired Account 3.  Go To MarketPlace 4.  Click Buy More 5.  Choose Package ( for instance 1k RP) - dont click continue yet 6.  Open Tamper Data Under Tools Menu 7.  Click Start Tamper 8.  Then Click Continue On RP Purchase, 9.  A lot of requests will pop up. Keep clicking submit until you get a link saying .....ajax/flows/..... in it 10. Uncheck "continue tampering?"  11. Click "Tamper" 12. Find "Order Info" On The Right Hand Box 13. Scroll through the code until you get past temp.id there will be a long number starting with 22 & 19 digits after 14. copy the 19 digits &  15. Replace with the code ( -9007383065878763074 for 1k RP for 120 credits) or copy following line and Ctrl + A, then Ctrl +C the entrie line of code ( 1k rp code in this line) 16. Click OK & submit 17. a dialog box will come up. Hit OK or cancel (it dosen't matter) Your new price will appear: "1000 RP for 120 Credits" 18.  Click 1000 RP button & If it disappears right away it means it failed. If it changes to loading and takes a few seconds to click over it means its worked. *** Note At Different Times Of The Day This Method May Not Work Due To Server Load, Don't Let That Phase You keep trying it WILL Work!

This may not seem like a big deal because after all the players involved were just taking advantage of a few billion dollar companies and nobody got hurt. This actually is not the case. There are big players in the game who spend a lot of money legitimately purchasing Reward Points to make their characters the strongest in Mafia Wars. I'm not talking about a couple of thousand dollars either. The players involved who used the Temper Data method shown above, systematically did so to calculate the stats of players from other clans and proceeded to make them public. This violated the privacy of many players who didn't want their Mafia Wars statistics to be common knowledge and they are not happy about it. All Zynga did about this injustice was roll back accounts. The players who were violated have taken the issue to the FBI Cyber Fraud Division.

"Some of the biggest names in the game used Tamper Data, hacked Facebook payment systems, bought 30k rps daily for 300$, committed cyber fraud which is punishable to 10yrs in prison and Facebook didn't even disable their account let alone Zynga.  We have the proof, it has been turned over to the FBI Cyber Fraud Division so I sure hope everyone involved in sweeping this under the rug has all of their ducks in a row."/Anonymous Source

This can be classified as a Cyber Crime and it violated something that any family or clan members hold near and dear, the privacy of their stats. This was a hack and is a felony. Go here to learn more Computer Crimes and what can happen to those who do them.
