Major Security Issue

Share:

Yesterday there were many images posted on the Mafia Wars Loot Lady Fan Page of "other peoples accounts". Many player found when they went to Mafia Wars from their Facebook account, they arrived in someone else's account. This happened last week as well. Shortly after both periods of time in which this occurred, we got a message on top of our Game Header that "server maintenance" was being performed. I found this forum post and learned that this wasn't as rare of an occurrence as I thought.

Default Found myself in someone else's account
I just went into MW and seen ( WAR DECLARED ) , I clicked on FIGHT to go to the War and " Found myself in someone ELSE'S ACCOUNT" !!!!


Most players simply logged out and got into their own account, but there were instances of people spending other players Reward Points for them. If you mysteriously lost Reward Points, this is probably why. That is not cool and we are all at risk if it happens again.

God it's still happening?

If you have excess RP, burn them on speedbuilds. Some asshat spent mine on crates. Still waiting for CS for an answer on that.

    i lost somewhere around 200 RP down from somewhere between 485-531 to 280 zynga is giving me the run around and of course no live chat because the one "person" they have on live chat is getting bombarded with all the rest of zynga's screw ups

    Oh... I guess this happened to me last week... I went from about 50RP to zero. I thought something lagged and I clicked on something I didn't mean to as I have inadvertently deployed Brazilian crew when the stupid page moves for one of the irritating popups or what have you.

    how can someone gain access like zynga did when they took away war loots last month...maybe its an inside job to scare members whos hoarding big amount of rps.
    in my opinion you cant take anyones rp to pay for goodies for another acct.

    if zynga have access to our own war loots then they definitely have access to RPs too...
    another scam to scare mw members who wont let go to their precious RPs.
