What do I do if I get hacked???

Post by hereje888 »

I was pretty surprised when in one of my games (319095) I found some comments offensive to other players in the chat that were coming from ME! :twisted: I couldn't understand what had happened, and the next thing I knew: HE WAS MESSING WITH MY FEEDBACK AND MY IGNORE LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!! I already changed my password, but I'm afraid it might happen again. What the HELL would I do? Please tell me, I don't wanna be remembering eighty passwords.

Are you using a public computer or do you share a computer with someone else? Perhaps you didn't log out.

Have you given your password to anyone else? Perhaps they're playing a joke on you.

Can you tell us when someone left those notes in your games?

Well I am using a friend's computer, but he's one of my best friends... But supposing someone I know would enter my profile, ¿Do I REALLY have to change my password everytime?

PS.- No I NEVER would give my password to anyone. I believe it's the Firefox Password rememberer. Someone must have seen it. Maybe my friend's friend :?:

Sometimes hackers just decide to mess with people. As a matter of fact, I just had similar problem on Travian. I scanned my computer, and guess what? A Trojan spyware was getting my passwords and names. So I had to switch for a while and eliminate the virus. I recommend doing a quick scan with SpyBot, it really helps.

Norton is ok.

You may want to complement with:

AdAware

CCleaner

Two good, free programs.
