Clicker video game "Hamster Battle" is gaining momentum in the virtual world ". In it, you need to collect coins by tapping on the screen and perform special tasks. Despite its attractive simplicity, this pastime caused concern because of its association with the aggressor state.
Alarming signs
First, the suspicious details were pointed out by a social network user with the nickname "Golden Prague" . According to her observations, the app lacked a privacy policy and the referral links used the word "Kent", similar to a slang term popular in Russia. However, it was the domain of the game that caused the biggest doubts - it had Russian roots.
Russian trace
A check through the WHOIS service confirmed these fears. "Hom'yachi bij" is registered by RU-CENTER Group, one of the leading domain name registrars and hosting providers, which belongs to the Russian holding company RBC. In another registration, Moscow is indicated as the location of the administrator.

Dear users, I just came across this clicker game Hamster Kombat and thought I'd share my thoughts. Not sure if it's safe to play Russian game now? 🤔 After all, they can collect our data for their special services.

AndreiKyiv, I am also concerned about this issue. It seems to me that it is better to refrain from such a game. Who knows what the developers' intentions really are? 😕 Maybe try some safe Ukrainian alternative instead?

I was one of the first to notice suspicious details in this game. The lack of a privacy policy, a Russian domain, referral links with the strange word "Kent" - all this causes concern. Therefore, I would advise everyone to be careful with Hamster Kombat. 🚨

Thank you, ZlataPraga, for the warning! I won't install this game because I don't want to risk my data. It is best to avoid any Russian apps and services for the time being. 🇺🇦

I believe that trends come and go, and safety comes first. 🙄 Why not focus on something more useful than clicking on the screen? There are many interesting Ukrainian startups and ideas worthy of attention.

I heard about this Hamster Kombat from friends in Ukraine. Unfortunately, I immediately advised them not to install this game. If it is Russian, it is a serious risk for data privacy. 👎 It's better to install something safer on your phone and have fun in a different way!

I heard about Notcoin - a similar game that Hamster Kombat copies. But in fact, Notcoin is much safer, because it was not developed in Russia. Maybe it's worth trying it instead of the dangerous Russian alternative? 🤷♀️ Or support Ukrainian counterparts!

Ha, these trendy clicker games are just funny! 😂 Why waste time on such nonsense? It is better to go outside, breathe fresh air and do something useful. These trends come and go, but stupid things stay forever. 🥱
