cadetrichards Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 (edited) Hey, I have just realised somone has hacked into my account. I have just noticed that someone made a thread under my name called "I am the best at airsoft" I don't know how many other threads were made at this moment. Unfortunately I recieved a number of un-deserved neg reps for this. Is there anyway I can sort this out? I do not know who did this, I have told my password to one person (someone that I trust on this forum) but that is it. I wont name names because I do not know who it is. http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...83entry530683 ^^ said thread I know this sounds like I am trying to shift the blame but I did not genuinely post and I have not been on Arnies recently. I do not start threads like this! cheers Help appreciated and I want to say sorry if you thought it was me. EDIT: Can a mod please discuss a password change with me?

Lance Jackass Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Apart from me, did you give your password to anyone else when you couldn't get on? Did you leave you pc on , in reach of any siblings? And is there a way of IP checking this? Link to post Share on other sites
cadetrichards Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 (edited) My cousins may be able to access my account. I went on arnies when I was down at there house. Hopefully there is a way of checking this with IP. My whole family was out today. As you siad LJ, that definately isn't my posting style.

Lance Jackass Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 "Girls Aloud Latest song - i love it!!" Any recollection of posting that last night in the music thread? Link to post Share on other sites

Any recollection of posting that last night in the music thread? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope It is obviously a smear campaign "He is gay, he likes girls aloud" if you know what I mean.

joeking27 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 It is possible to check IPs, but the mods have to do it. Ask them nicely, but its still your own damn fault. But I don't think any less of you due to the actions of someone else. Link to post Share on other sites
R22Master Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Right, step 1, change your password NOW. Don't use a word that can be found in a dictionary, don't use a date that is important to you, and don't list a favorite football team, military team, or movie title. Use letteres and numbers together so noone can get in. Do it now. Secondly, some information. Your hacker used a different net connection to yours - He/She was on Tiscali Broadband and made 4 posts... http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...83entry530683 http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...74entry530674 http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...57entry530657 http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...38entry530638 ------------------ I can see that this was not you, and the account abuser used a different connection and computer. I will not list more data here at the moment unless he / she resurfaces. For now, just change your password, and always hit the "Log Off" button when leaving this site to stop someone else being able to use your cookies to regain access to your account on your machine. I will attempt to clean your account rep accordingly. Hope that helps R22. Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Go to your controls, and it should be very easy to figure out how to change your password from there. Link to post Share on other sites
R22Master Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Should all be sorted out now. Just remains to ask your cousins if they use Tiscalli broadband If you have an e-mail from your cousins machine, you should be able to strip out the IP address they used to send it. I can then cross-check that with the records we have of the account intrusion. If you want me to of course Rep is cleaned too now. Link to post Share on other sites

They are imature. I think it is just lucky they didn't post something that could have got me banned EDIT:Password changed Edited December 4, 2005 by cadetrichards Link to post Share on other sites
R22Master Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Glad we could get it sorted. I have now removed all posts made during the incursion, including the entire "am best" thread. Case closed. Thread closed. Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Just an addendum, don't give your password out and leave your account logged in at other machines. Link to post Share on other sites
