Security reminders

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Any method of obtaining in-game items, cheese or fraises outside of the game is illegal. These illegal sources often require players to provide their username, password and e-mails, and create a huge security risk.
Upon discovery of any player promoting or using these illegal website, we will take serious action. Atelier 801 and Transformice are in no way affiliated with these websites and don’t support them. Please report any players advertising or using a phishing website. We will be very grateful.

What is a phishing website?
These websites are often an imitation of the real website and are controlled by a malicious person. If the user enters any personal information, they will be transmitted directly to the scammer.

How to recognize a phishing website?
Check the website’s adress. Any website outside transformice.com isn’t official.
Those websites often have recognizable URLs. 90% of them are hosted by free websites, and URLs look like this : “free-cheese-transformice-lol.free-website.com”. Design is a bad copy/paste of original drawings, and, most important, all of them try to get your account, account password, e-mail adress, e-mail password. None of those informations are asked from the official Transformice Team : If someone ask you any of those, as official as he sounds, he is without a doubt a scammer.

How do I protect my account against thieves?

  • Strong password. Using strong passwords and using a unique password for Transformice lower the overall risk of a security breach.
  • Email address. You can link an e-mail address to your account. To link an email address to your account, choose « change my password » in the game menu. (By linking an email address to your account, you will win 40 cheese and a unique accessory.)
  • Never give out your password. Moderators and administrators will never ask you for your password. If someone asks you, they are trying to STEAL your account.

My account has been stolen, what should I do?

  • I still have access to my account and I linked an e-mail adress to my account. You can change your password by yourself via the in-game menu or via the login page.
  • I don’t have access to my account anymore and I linked an e-mail adress to my account. You can change your password by yourself via the login page.
  • I don’t have access to my account anymore and I didn’t link an e-mail to my account or forgot it. You can’t change your password by yourself. Send us an e-mail via the contact form and select “Password”. Give us as much information as possible such as your nickname, your e-mail, how you’ve been stolen, and/or when you played for the last time. Share as many proofs as you can about your identity (screenshots, videos, when you changed your password for the last time… etc).
