Im very unsure about this, but it is on a well respected clan forum and has been posted by a moderator, so i will leave this open.

well as long as people download from the official site whereever that is then they shouldn't really be worried.

i dont even use that, i'm happy with the client on rs.

The post on rsd forums said that the hacker claimed that the keylogger would be added with the next offical ss update, seems unlikely but i don't want to take the chance.

As Brad has said, this topic remains open incase there is a real threat. IF this turns into a flame war over weither it's safe or not i will be locking this, it's only a warning, no one is stating anything as a fact.

yeah but unless he's one of the creators then he shouldn't be able to distribute it unless he he has access to it. i mean i dont get the feeling that he'll talk to the creator and ask him to try this new update and stuff.

It does seem quite unlikely, but I certainly am not willing to risk it. I never really trusted in the first place. I would be a shame if it is to be keylogged, it's a really useful client and it woud be a shame to see it wasted.

i doubt this very much, sounds more like he is just trying to get people scared of ss to not use it.
