I don't run any bot-related, nor have I ever shared my API key. Yet I've pulled 13 requests today?

 

Sup with this @Alex

I saw this, but then also saw "leaks" showing that people had pulled the amounts of resources Arrgh had in its bank... So how is that not a security issue?

Well that I don't know about.

Are you sure the 'leaks' aren't just simple calculations based on resources looted when beiging Arrgh members?

There were no leaks - this was caused by a new feature that I had the new developer code where your messages, notifications, and trades can update on any page in real-time without having to refresh the page.

I instructed her to use API keys to validate the requests, but she included a function that counted each of these automated calls as an API use, which of course I didn't intend. I fixed the code and reset everyone's API key usage yesterday.

As for this "leaks and rumors" thing, I don't know where they're getting their information but I know that it had nothing to do with this, and I don't have any reason to believe it is related to a security issue with the game.
