Exclamation RMTers discuss P1999 dsetup.dll "includes some NSA-level intrusive scans on your PC"

So I ran across this post over on RandomRMTSite_01 and I am more than a little concerned about this. While there is no evidence presented, it does beg the question of precisely how the mod staff catches MQers and RMT peddlers so efficiently.

If any of this turns out to be true it would an very serious breach of privacy and borderline criminal. I've never engaged in cheating or RMT but I know I have checked my bank account, mortgage information, medical records, and many other sensitive websites while Project 1999 was open.

We are 99% certain that the P99 staff are lying to players about their RMT detection methods. Last month, it was "Your seller is ratting you out!" as seen here:

This month the GM's are claiming, "we have a moderator on RandomRMTSite_01 who can see your ip!!"

After extensive research, I can see why they'd want to create new lies each month.

Only two people on RandomRMTSite_01 are given access to your IP information. Maskoi and myself. Neither of us play on P99, but we appreciate the community you guys have built here and are going to support you 100%. Also, moderators cannot see IP's, and beyond that, the bazaar has no moderators! Hard for "moderators to see ur ip!!!!!!" when they don't exist.

But because I'm a paranoid nutter and I respect the talent behind P99, I made everyone take their accusation seriously. Even though moderators don't have access to IP information, we immediately worried that our server was compromised, so we scoured our logs for any signs of IP access and found nothing. We double checked for server exploits, shells, rootkits, etc. and found nothing. I personally spent two days going over a 3GB mysql log BY HAND for any signs of anomolies. There has been no outside access.

Here's what we've discovered from reverse engineering: P99's dsetup.dll actively scans your PC. For exactly what, we can't say, but we have cracked a couple mysteries:

1) It includes some NSA-level intrusive scans on your PC.
2) P99 GM's have full access to every window title and URL you have open.

I've updated our safety thread in accordance with these discoveries. Please log off p99 before visiting Redguides, or use a different PC or your phone.

We barely cover costs from giving P99 players a home here, but you guys have done a great job building a community and we want to protect your hard work from these psychos. If there's anything we can do to make you safer from scammers, GM's and other scum, please let us know.
