Mystery Evolving NC Items Update: The Mysterious NC Mall Items we reported to you just a few days ago, have started to appear. Right now, only Grundo's with the Lost Desert Deluxe Paint Brush clothing equipped will show the new items. The items will start out as a worm, and have been said to change to the flower.
We will keep you updated if any new pets show signs of these items. We have a few for you to view from our Pet Directory.
S'not touching that ball!

New Game - Dice Of Destiny!

Altador Cup Finals Update: Congrats to Roo Island for winning the cup! ...no, just kidding. If you have stumbled upon this page you will find that the cup winners have been announced. This is just a coding error, and those are the results from last year's game. So do not panic, or think the cup is rigged. (:
The Finals have been delayed due to the technical difficulties. Yooyuball currently isn't counting your points for rank, but you can still play the mini-games for rank points.
Update: Finals are a go!
This new game might remind you of the Mysterious Tablet from the Lost Desert Plot. Hopefully it's not another version of getting lost in the Temple of 1,000 Tombs!

Neopets Makes Fox Front Page News With Recent Security Attacks
- Posted by Nynex

Please read the full article by Fox News here.
jnSafety Team Reminder!: TNT has warned users many times not to fall for scams. You are responsible for your own account safety. Remember that if you see someone advertising a scam or a malicious link to Report the scam to TNT!
We still advise all users to avoid interaction with other players (It may be helpful to limit yourself to trusted users, and neofriends that you know). This includes staying away from possible scams posted on the neoboards, userlookups, usershops, neomail & petpages.
But Neopets has been hit by Internet pirates, according to Christopher Boyd, director of malware research at FaceTime Communications Inc., a California-based Internet security company.
The scam takes advantage of kids willing to pay big for a "magic paintbrush," the rare and pricey item that lets kids change their pets' colors.
They're sent a seemingly innocuous e-mail or private message on the Neopets bulletin boards telling them about a secret Web site that will let them make their own magic paintbrushes -- without having to spend precious points for them.
But when the child clicks on the link for more information, malware -- software created to damage or penetrate a computer system -- is automatically downloaded and installed on their home computers.
Not only does the child never get the anticipated paintbrush, the malicious software then is in place to wreak havoc with his or her parents' financial data by culling private information from the now-infected PC.
Passwords to banking sites, account information, Social Security and credit card numbers all become fair game.
From Popular Children's Web Site Under Attack by Identity Thieves, July 8, 2009
Viacom said in a statement.
"Neopets values the security of our users and educates them about these types of scams. We aggressively investigate all reported instances of social engineering, phishing and any other attempts by malicious individuals to deceive Neopets members."

We still advise all users to avoid interaction with other players (It may be helpful to limit yourself to trusted users, and neofriends that you know). This includes staying away from possible scams posted on the neoboards, userlookups, usershops, neomail & petpages.
- Neoboards: Many scams circulate fast on the neoboards. Our source states that the reply box haux is harmless. If you click on it, you will be directed to a neopets.com domain. However, you still need to be careful when browsing the neoboards. (We have confirmation that this scam, thanks to Camicee for a screenie from the boards. The fake reply box appears above the real reply box.)
- Userlookups, Usershops & Petpages: A CG can easily be placed on these user edited areas of the site.
- Usershops: Scams for really cheap items have been circulated to attract shop snippers using the shop wizard to infected shops.
- Neomail: Scammers will neomail users directly promising them some item or neopoints if you go visit an outside link or a petpage.
Do NOT fall for these types of scams. It's your duty to protect your account and your Neopets. Please don't let them down by making a foolish mistake based upon greed. There are no ways to get twenty paint brushes for giving someone your password. There are no "Neopoint generators." There are no links on obscure websites that will give you Neocash. These are all scams, and visiting such sites can also cause your computer to become infected with malicious programs.
