he told me first.

A lot of this DD hysteria is spreading. It's sort of amusing in a way. The hysteria I mean, not their hooligan behavior.

I wonder if it was them who were responsible for my hacked account before, they called themselves the faggot federation when they changed my userpage. It's so hard to keep track of these clubs anymore.

FF and DD are both different groups, but there are a few members the frequent both.

I've had a few problems with Snaws on a forum I mod and he's an admin on the DD and he prolly was the one to help do those attacks.

Ultimatepwnage, right? I had heard that he was there somewhere, I think it was on the DD forums. Personally, I think that spammers have a good reason to do what they do, they do it to piss off the average 11 year old user who 5s all video game parody, because, seriously, Newgrounds is going extremely downhill with the flashes tha win awards lately. DD achieve this by posting child pornography and causing actual damage, KK by posting strobing images, even TBA makes the occasional "funnies" to piss off the tacky average user. They all have different ways to spam, but they all did it for a reasonable objective. I'm not defending spam crews, I'd love to see Newgrounds without them, but I think everyone says "THEY'RE FUCKING FAGGOTS, THEY RUIN NEWGROUNDS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO LIFE!", but most spam crew members are actually highly talented artists that are sick of seeing how "The biggest flash cartoon site on the web" has such crap winning daily awards and getting all the monthly money.

Now, back to my hole.

So has anyone heard of this Full Sail University place?

Any first hand accounts on whether it would be good or not to go to?

as bad as I feel for you, it seems deserved. You seem to be under the impression that a long password is any better than a short password, this is incorrect, it gives you a false sense of security. The best approach for passwords is a simple one: Have different "levels" of passwords, for banking and Paypal you have a "super secure", for hosting and email you have a "less secure" then for places like Newgrounds you have another password and then for signing up to things you don't really care about you have a password that would mean no loss if it was stolen. This pretty much separates everything and is the best method. I've never understood how anyone can be phished.

It's a shame though, but this happened a while back - if I remember correctly - and the moderator didn't get remodded.

Also, has some other mod account been stolen again? The programming lounge is locked, again.

The consensus is, like what has just happened with the latest mod to get slapped by this, that they got in through my email and had a password request confirmation through from NG. That wouldn't have saved me.

Ouch. Who was the last guy to get it?

I agree with CitricSquid on this 'levelling' of passwords. I must use about 5 different passwords for different 'levels' of security. Say for paypal I would use a password that sometimes I would struggle to remember, then there's passwords I use for websites with less danger, and if I somehow lost my password it wouldn't really matter.

I keep messing up while statements and I feel really stupid.

while(_root.leftwalls.hitTest(_x,_y,true)){
xspeed = -2;
}

While statements I write myself always end up freezing my computer. Any help?

I know, stupid.

Shouldn't that be an If statement?

At 7/12/09 12:05 PM, ImpendingRiot wrote: Shouldn't that be an If statement?

No?

And that will always evaluate to true, seeing as xspeed isn't directly going to change the hittest bounding box of the colliding object. You need to move the _x directly.

Whoops, haha. My bad, I just woke up.

And also I'm a horrible, horrible coder.

Thanks. Now I see the problem.

so then what could have saved you?

Private email accounts. I assume that they got in through guessing his information, for example quite a few people have "What was your first school?" as their secret answer, so with some internet detective work - checking old bbs posts - you can quite easily find it out. If you have an email account that you don't anyone know exists, for example "citricsquid@gmail.com" could be my normal account then "notcitricsquid@gmail.com" might be my private that I only use for important things.

You're only as strong as your weakest point, any "good hacker" won't bother starting with the main place they're trying to end up, if they want your Newgrounds account they won't bother trying to guess your password, they'll consider the other things that connect to your Newgrounds account and work out the weakest one and go for that, which is normally email.

Since always, and I don't think Kayn got phished. Citricsquid is making a legitimate point. The easiest emails to hack are those that have very important information in the adress. For example luisng@something.com. It already gives you his first name, and look what a surprise, a simple "luisng" search on google will show you his twitter with his full name, his steam account, on a website where he used his credit card, his youtube channel, etc. Hacking is a lot easier than people think, it's just that you don't see it so much because you'd need a real good reason to break the law and get someone's personal information.

How would finding some pages on him give you his password?
You would have to enter it in somewhere, probably a fake login page of some description.

It all falls under the perview of social engineering - the oft forgotton hacker art of actually asking someone for thier password through indirect means. Whether it's trying to fake thier identity by ripping all the information off of facebook, or simply guessing common things.

Less talk about this. We've lost DryIce and Mightypotato to this today as well

While it's not really hacking in the sense that it takes any sort of skill or brains to pull off, it's still hacking in the sense that you gain illegitimate access to someones account.

Exactly, that's what happened to sarah palin (was it her?) her email recovery question was something like "what is your mothers maiden name?" and some clever fellow used a bit of smart searching, found it out and got free access into her email.

It takes very little effort to "hack" unless the person you're "hacking" is clever; recovery answers are never a good idea.

Nah I was just talking about guessing secret question answers (which sometimes is actually enough for getting the password). Social networking sites made that a ton easier.

Ah yea, you're right there. The secret question is such a stupid invention, the password is the secret fucking question :P

I always keep my answers unrelated or make a word puzzle, always one that I can remember, That way it's hard for someone to hack you. Now, who exactly was the mod who got hacked now? I haven't realized yet

It was me :(
That's why I'm not a mod

Oh man, I hadn't realized the light aura, sorry for opening a closed wound.
