Post subject:  Urgent Security Update!!

We have had a few reports of RS account hacking from users here on RS B&B. We have found out the cause of this. If any of you have download the "new version" of SwiftSwitch from the post that the user Halo2 made, immediately scan your computer with an AntiVirus software immediately.

We have found out that this link did not take you to the real SwiftSwitch site, but downloaded a keylogged version of the program. If you have downloaded SwiftSwitch from the official site, do not worry as it does not contain any viruses or anything.

A warning for the future, never download a program from a site other than it's official website, as it cannot be verified as legitimate. If you have downloaded this or fell you may have been hacked, some of the best things to do are to change your password (on another unaffected computer) and scan your computer and remove any keyloggers. The staff here at RS B&B work as hard as we can to make sure all links given are safe.

Thanks,
RS B&B Staff
