#About Hacks, Cracks and Free Gold

Hey guys,
From CM Latten
These so-called "Hacks" for Browserg ames are around for quite some time now. They promise free gold, levels and whatnot, when you just download them, let them log into your account and enjoy the day.
Now here's the kicker: They actually do nothing at all, but harm your computer. Let me explain a few points.
They can't change what's on our server. All a 'hack' will do is (if even that) change some numbers on your client software, directly in your browser. If it shows more money or gold to you, it's not really there. It just changes what you are shown. You still have that 2000 gold, even if your game shows you now have 3 Million. Once you spend more than your initial 2000, you will still get the "not enough gold" message. You simply won't have the gold, money or XP the hack promises you.
They just want to get your account data. You won't find a 'hack' that works without logging into your account through the program, and that's for a reason: All that it wants is your account data. As soon as you enter your username and password, it will send both off to a database on a hacking server, where basically everyone can access your secret password and do all kinds of stuff with it. And that's the harmless option. The other one would be..
They're possibly trojans. A trojan virus works exactly like its namesake, the famous historical wooden horse. It's disguised as a useful program, but in reality it's a virus, malware, sometimes even software that enables another person or group to completely overtake your PC, with all your data on it. With a bit of bad luck, you're giving your whole expensive PC away for just a bit more gold in a browser game.
They might get you banned. Even if it doesn't work, we of course can't allow the use of hacks, cheats etc in the game. So if we notice you using a hack, your account is in immediate danger of getting temporarily or permanently banned. Really, it's not worth it.
Alright, there's that 🙂 Now of course, if you still want to take that risk, I can't stop you. But I really, really recommend not to, because the only person harmed will be yourself.
There is ONE hack that isn't really a hack. If you have a smart phone, buy the BF app. Every day in the daily tasks you can watch a video and earn $10 in gold. I have the app on my tablet and log in to it while watching TV in the evenings with my spouse. I play on the farm, watch the video and earn that FREE gold. The app is yours forever with just a one-time purchase. When I am not in the living room, I am on my PC in my home office. That is where I play on the big screen as it is easier on my old eyes.
