How am i getting hacked?

[Elios]

This is the third time this week. Someone (or more than one), has accessed my account on several occasions. I've changed my password 5 times. But still, there's new posts on my profiles, and several BBS posts. I know i'm not the only one. And i know at least one person who is responsible.

I'm Lutefisk, and I'm doing what I do best.

At least I didn't do what I did to SuperFlonic to you.

What the hell is going on here? This is insane.

[Sevkat]

Too much pr0ns.

Hacking is so easy. So how can you not get hacked?

Seriously. Being hacked is like the new AIDS.

[Carbonwater]

You obviously suck at choosing passwords.

I assume you have been hacked?

I've talked to Wade, and i changed my password. And that did somthing, for a little while....

Is it really that easy? Is Newgrounds privacy defenses that weak? I find it hard to believe. There's somthing going on, and i want to find out what.

That's what SHE said....
sorry, wrong time?

All I know is that Lutefisk got into the NGChat thing around the same time KemCab did and changed SuperFlonic's password. Then Lutefisk got bored and gave him the password, he changed it back to what it had originally been, and KemCab hacked him.

[McPaper]

I would suggest you have a trojan / keylogger.

As soon as I heard about that whole thing, I changed it immediately. If Elios was ever in the chat, then chances are that's where he got it the first time, but how he's getting them after the password is changed is beyond me.

MY username and MY password? How is that possible?

I didn't even type in the correct password either.

Example, this JUST happened.

Maybe he hasn't logged out since the last time he got on your account.

the server would check for a correct password before remembering to keep you logged in

Lol, you don't give up do you?

You just need rep don't you. Well, it's working. You're almost popular :D

Pardon me Officer, but i don't need your fucking sarcasm right now.

Whatever is going on, it's a big problem. For everyone. I know i'm not the only one affected by this. However, i do seem to be the only one expressing my concern. Whoever is responsible, needs to be found. And i'll tell you all right now, this is not some kind of joke i'm doing. Whoever it is, can be examined, questioned, deleted, even IP banned for all i care. But this needs to stop.

[LordZeebmork]

why do you care? it's a quick postcount +1.

[CNRHKick]

... I'm gonna change my pass, even though it doesn't seem like a threat to me.

[flashash220]

check your firewall settings

[yodd]

it was my dick har har

No no no, it's not just post count...

It's my movies, that could be altered, changed, or deleted. It's my favorites list, that could be wiped out. My reviews, my whistle status, my news posts, everything! Do you not see how severe this is!? A hacker has access to my account, and if it posts the wrong thing, EVERYONE thinks it's me, and I could be deleted for what someone ELSE did! Do you see now!?

[americanidiot2f]

I dunno...Elios is popular enough, I wouldn't think he would do this for more reputation. I don't know what to say, I don't know anything about hacking.

Though, just showing you have post like that wouldn't prove you are being hacked, even if it goes against how you normally post.

I don't think you would be deleted.

Besides, I think Lutefisk doesn't do anything unless he really hates you.

Honestly, popularity is the least of my worries right now. I know absolutely nothing about computers. Besides the fact that i want an Nvidia 6600 to play Neverwinter Nights 2. That's about it.

You see, that's how some hackers work, posting things you would normally say. Imitating you. Mimic, Doppelganger, whatever you want to call it. It's someone else, being you. And because ALL of this is just words and numbers, there's no 100% way to know who is who.

Ok, how about this senario.

A hacker uses your account to post child pornography on the forum.

Ok, now what? Everyone thinks it's you. And we all know the rules about that. So, what happens?
