This is from the real Blockland website!

7/16/2005 - TBM Exploit Details
The details of the TBM exploit have been uncovered by Harold "LabRat" Brown of the Torque community.
For complete information, see this thread.

Basically, TBM detects AiO installations and compromises them so that anyone can connect to the compromised server and then proceed to upload and execute any script they want. There are a number of things a malevolent person could do to a compromised server including overwriting all of the script files, effectively removing the entire game.

If you have installed TBM at any point in the past, I am forced to recommend that you delete your Blockland directory and re-install the game.

7/14/2005 - Security Warning

Do NOT use TBM

Rumors have surfaced recently that the makers of TBM have developed scripts that will damage a users Blockland directory if they attempt to use TBM code or models in a way that they don't approve of. I questioned Rob and MCP (aka Kier) of the TBM crew about this on IRC and they admitted to developing such a script. I questioned them separately about other h@cking incidents involving TBM, which they both admitted to, but they tried to pin the blame on each other. These people cannot be trusted and their mod, TBM, should be considered a security risk.

MCP has shown a tendency towards spite, vengeance and h@cker ethics. I recommend you delete TBM and its auto-updater immediately.
That was an incorrect posting. Several users had h@cked versions with malicious scripts, not sanctioned by the TBM team. Ignore this warning.
What do you mean? He talked to some people who work on tbm.

Oh well... Too late. I trusted the post on the official blockland website and deleted it. I trust the author of Blockland more than people who made a mod for it.

Or are you saying that a few people working on TBM made a version that did this.
Nope. I definitely trust them, they do great work with TBM.
