This is a warning for those of you who have me on yourr email list on MSN.
My account has been hacked into and someone has been using it so if you receive an spam/junk mail from me it is not me.
I will be making a new account as soon as i can so i will post it here when i have made it.
Also Acams if you read this you will be receive a pm from me about a password change if thats ok.
-
It hasn't been "hacked". You were just stupid enough to get spyware installed on your PC, which then got your MSN and email passwords.
Also,y ou can change your password manually on the forum, no need to email an admin.
-
The only things that have been installed on my pc other than msn and other software like anti-viruses are games.
And i didnt know i could change my pass through my profile i thought i needed to get an admin to do it.
-

Serge I love you. Seriously, people use "hacking" far too often and inaccurately.
And also Ashman, just becasue you don't "think" anything malicious has been installed does not mean that there isn't malicious software on your computer .

Have you installed any "codecs" while possibly trying to view porn?
-
Ok so let me rephrase the first sentence then,
someone has gotten a hold of my password somehow and is talking to my friends and other contacts through it.
@Frezal lol my dad has blocked access to websites fthat you need to 16 or over to view and i dont know how to change it.

Talking as in an intelligent entity? As in actually holding a conversation? If so, then have you must have given your password to someone, either accidentally to one of your friends or as Serge said stolen via a program.
-
if your mail address has indeed been hacked and someone else is using it to contact others, will you then also please make sure that my (and SotG's) forum, Tales of War, stays out of trouble. as you may understand, i am not waiting to later on find some spam on my own forum.
list is in my sig.

I haven't gave my password out to anyone although a couple of my friends know my hobbies ( or some of them at least ) and my pass is one of them so it could be that but i doubt its one of them as none of them have a sense of humour.
And by convo all that Ive heard from my friends is that one of them sent a message saying who was talking ( because I'm usually not on till around 9 and it was saying i was online at 7-8 and they got a message back saying "Its me obviously"
Powerrave i think i used a different email for your website ( i think i used my google mail account which is what ive used for most online websites since ive made the account)but im not entirely sure.

So your password was "Crossdressing"

Change your password to one that doesn't suck. Something along the lines of "1E_bxK7$5DwJLm0pB". Keep a slip of paper in your wallet containing the password in some discrete format (such as hidden within some matrices or something) until you have it memorized.

i have checked for you and it shows a Hotmail address.
-
Oh well is there any spam/junk from my account and if so then i am very sorry.
@Frezal thanks for the tip but it wont let me sign in to MSN now.
-
there isn't. well, not yet as far as i can now say. it may still come.
EDIT: i can also just change the e-mail address your account uses. if you PM me your google mail, i will change that. pass would still need to be changed tho.
-
LOL @ ACAMS
And PR, don't worry. With my mod powers on ToW I'll eat any spam for you. Like I ate you that one time.
-
hold on... you eat spam? the forum post kind of spam and not the food in can kind of spam? o_O
-
Yes, I print it off and eat the paper.
-
It must taste like ink.
-
Not that I remember.
-
omnomnom paper. tho i don't see how you require mod powers for that, i don't care. it's still better then someone who eats half a plastic bottle.
-
Eating you was better. :P
-
oh really now... oh shi! *finds out about a missing left arm*
-
That'll teach you for writing on my face. :P
-
how the hell is this similar!?!?
*respawns*
that's better.

Do this to all of your accounts. On accounts that are actually important, use different random passwords.

lol internet nanny. You must have one hell of a helicopter parenting. Also, a Ubuntu Live CD will bypass any filtering whatsoever.

hahaha. Way to choose a secure password. +fY3g5H#r89 is a pretty secure password, and not hard to memorize. At least use that sort of security. Even better, have a different 13-character (a-z, A-Z, 0-9, special characters) for each account. It's not that hard to remember, and it will save your arse the next time.
Also, I am still willing to bet $2 that it was just spyware.

Usually there are no sexual connotations to "eat sb" unless it's used as a phrasal verb: "eat sb out".
Also, it's your turn on GamesByEmail.

"Usually" being the key word there.
As for Risk, DAHMN! I hit "Done" yesterday, but I guess it didn't take.
