New Security Implements and Features
I have recently read a forum that a-lot of players' accounts have been compromised and this is scaring me.
Like most players I like spinning crates and with the amount of effort and time I have put into my account I do not want to loose this.
Yes, It is possible that those players have went to 3rd party sites and downloaded hacks that gave them key-loggers or phishing sites; or even zp scams.
However, that being the case no one can be too careful. It is possible that many can steal packets on the way to this z8 site and steal our account information.
**This is why I am requesting that z8 should make the login secure.
When I mean secure I mean that they should make this site. Or once you login and make this site [url]Https://www.z8games.com[/url] (hence the S) and make it 128 byte encryption.**
What does the community think? Please put down your honest opinion and serious suggestions below

I really don't think the website needs a 128 bit encryption, the chances of someone taking these packets (I never knew was even possible) just for a Z8Games account is slim.
For those whom have keyloggers, RAT's, anything malicious, they can always download a keyscrambler to be safe, and then fix it. Or just not download/install anything which looks suspicious.
-1 from me, just don't think it's needed. -

I've never heard of anyone scamming an account like that...it just wouldn't be worth the effort if caught...it breaks multiple laws all over the world...and isnt the main difference between http, and https what is available on wifi servers etc..? but either way, i guess it wouldn't do any harm to update it to that...

Accounts for this game are generally pretty secure.
Almost all cases of compromised accounts come from account sharing or malicious software from downloading hacks. No evidence of "packet snatching".
I don't see the point in the added expense of an HTTPS certificate for encryption. -

dude, I wish everyone is as smart as you are then we wouldn't have all these "hacked" accounts and all these problems to begin with

You can't get hacked unless you download third-party programs, or give away personal account information.

Thats just scam lol...Im talking about ppl with actuall skill
You cant be careful enough, especially with really expensive weapons like the Ak fury some ppl might just sniff ur packets and jack ur stuff. It isn't rocket science bro

I'm never heard of this packet business. I've only had my account stolen once and that was because I literally gave away the password to it and had to get it back and change it. As long as you don't give away your account information, this game is pretty secure.

Like Matt said. It's virtually impossible to have your account compromised unless you do something stupid like share your account and/or its information, or download 3rd party programs that you know you shouldn't have. In both cases if you get hacked, you gotten that what you deserve.

It would be illegal to do so. Not to mention incredibly difficult.
If people were able to do this, the administrator accounts would be stolen, yours would only be stolen to be sold on and even then you can claim it back...
Thats assuming this is possible... which it isnt... its simply not worth a hackers time and risk of being caught and prosecuted for Crossfire accounts.... -

Other than maybe administrator accounts, Crossfire accounts just aren't worth the risk to a hacker with the level of skill that's required to hack into such an account. Especially since there are a multitude of people stupid enough to give them access to it with the mere promise of free ZP.
