Security

Wizard101 game files are served from an official webserver that is not TLS-secured. The file checksums are also served over a plaintext connection. Although unlikely, this means that an attacker on the network (man-in-the-middle) could theoretically intercept these files as they are downloaded and then execute malicious code on the user's system. The launcher takes a best-effort approach to mitigate this. All file checksums are verified prior to execution, and where possible their Authenticode signature is verified, though many files have an expired signature.
