with the currant influx of key loggers running a muck in here, an idea popped in my head.
if we could use our API keys to log onto the forums instead of our actual account info, then the infected accounts wouldn't be at risk (unless they log on eve on the infected computer), and the computers that are infected could deal with the problems without all of their stuff being stolen.
only problem i see with that is trying to remember that long ass api code.
thoughts on the idea are appreciated.

that would totally work. Have you really never given your api to someone, so they could see skills or something? Maybe so they would let you into the corp? The whole point of the api is 'look, but dont touch'.

Or you could not click on the links expecting something in particular and just use google like 99.99% of us do for it instead. ------------------------------------- Read my bio ingame for tips on how to live and not be called nasty names by me. |

well that's not going to solve the problem, because people are going to sooner or later, not to mention some of these key loggers are starting to get clever by imitating eve comics or other things the community made.
