Recently, I was looking around my BBS profile, and guess what? I have 5 additional reviews not by me (the first 5 reviews). Help please!

BTW, for those who didn't knew, I was viewing the topic this and I typed my username and address to that site. I taught that hacker website was blocked. Help me

Just change your password. That's all you need to do to avoid some dirty hacker coming along and stealing your account.
Don't know how?
Step 1: Go to "My Account"
Step 2: Go to "General Information"
Step 3: Enter your current passwprd where it says "password"
Step 4: Enter what you want to change the password to in both the "New Password?" and "Confirm Password" fields.
Step 5: Click "Update My Info" button at the bottom.
You will now log in with the new password, and the one on that site will become obsolete and will no loger work.

If you want to know, I also did this in the Adobe website, after I forgot my original password.

Also, don't post your username and password anywhere unless you want to give the account to the world. I, for example, could have easily taken that account... You're lucky I'm no thief. And the only reason I didn't take it as my own even then is that I knew you didn't want to give it up. Posting your password is considered "asking for it". You want to remember your password, make a text file on your computer that has the account name and password in it for easy access.

There is a difference between practically giving your account away and having it hacked...
