Hello Friends,
We encountered some really bad troubles lately. I guess hawksmont Universe became too popular…and unfortunately too tempting for hackers. Someone broke into our servers through some holes in our security system and put some trojans for phishing purposes.
I’m really sorry for what happened.
I’d like to state, that we’ve fixed the bugs and cleared our servers as soon as the attacks occured, but I’m aware that this issue put hawksmont Universe in a bad light. I assure you that there are NO TROJANS in brushes files (if there are - they are not original files, so please report that fact to us as soon as possible!!!), we also don’t do any phishing or e-mail advertising.
Your safety at hawksmont Universe is a very important matter to us, so if you notice something bad, please report it immediately!!.
Hackers won’t be using hawksmont Universe for their fun!

Well, we fix one thing and then we find something in other place :/ sometimes we are just hopeless
Well, I’m a graphic designer, not a hacker.
I just hope we got rid of trojans for good this time.
