Due to the existence of hacking, seeding, and bricking, I was always paranoid about online play when I was playing Wild World. It looks like I'm going to have to be cautious (if not actually paranoid) about New Leaf online play as well.
I have nothing against the use of hacking... until this sort of thing happens, and it inevitably does.
Thank you for letting the community know about this malicious hacking risk. I've never been much for online play, but I'm definitely even less keen on it now.
This makes me even more nervous than I was before about meeting people through ACNL, now your going to get my paranoia going into overdrive which I REALLY REALLY DO NOT NEED! well the people I do have as friends are trusted but I think from now I will be alot more wary of people.
We REALLY need to get this stickied and moved to the Train Station. Gosh... Well then. This is...unique. Things like this are why I always hover over stuff to see the name before picking them up.
ive yet to see any seeding/bricking codes or anything yet. the worst one could do is drop unremovable items and thats bout it, since other stuff requires you to go to the browser which you cant do when ur in someone elses town.
