Email Warning
« on: August 10, 2010, 03:18:19 PM »
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.

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 .
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

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.

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.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

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.

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.
