I have a feeling I was hacked

Sat Apr 02, 2005 4:48 am

Ok, my friend told me that my username I made for causing trouble was hacked on aim.
And in the mean time, I was talking to someone who is doing a report that wanted to know my pets name.
I start saying jokes with the person, I say that they have a small brain IQ and they are laughing.
Then I get a email from "Screen Name Service"
I go to check my email, my password doesn't work.
I try to reset my password, it doesn't work.
Best thing I got was this persons neopets username.

Adam Fire Faerie: Did you notice my MSN got hacked?
Twizzler0171: Yes, I did.
Adam Fire Faerie: what did they say to you?
Twizzler0171: First they asked if they could put me on their contact list. I thought it was you. o.o; Then they asked me for help on their homework. I helped them. Then they asked me if they could earn me avatars and stuff. I refused.
Adam Fire Faerie: what was the question for the homework?
Adam Fire Faerie: Cause that is how they got me
Twizzler0171: What my pets were and stuff. o.o
Adam Fire Faerie: Um
Adam Fire Faerie: What was your secret question on hotmail?

Oy! Have you tried contacting MSN? Let them know what your s/n was, and any other information you can give them. I would ask them to try to either track the usage/get IP or ask them to cancel the account. You can always sign up again, can't you?

I hope you don't use that MSN for anything important. Once they have your email there's no limit to what can be done. My roomie had her hotmail hacked and the persons who did it got ahold of a credit card number and went shopping!

That'll be why.

Always know what your secret question for hotmail is. I got tricked like that once, but I managed to get it back in time. Now my question is something random that I'll be the only person to know, ever.

I don't understand... you mean he's secret question for Hotmail was "What is m pet's name?"

My secret question has always been secret. The answers to them are not the same as the answer to them in real life.

It could be.

*shrug* One of the default questions when you create a hotmail account.

I have a sneaking suspicion that someone named mailto:neomad123@hotmail.com is behind this. :roll:

-giggle- My, my, I had an interesting night with "you". :P I do have the conversation, though. xD I couldn't post it here without being banned from PPT forever. :P

EDIT: Oh, and don't use Hotmail. :P I'll send a Gmail invite if you'd like. Even I know how to crack Hotmail, and I'm only 14. :P

I noticed the pet thing after that.
I use my MSN alot for personal contacts.
I am soooooo glad I didn't sign up for neopets there.
The Gmail thing..... Everyone of my friends thinks it is odd that I have something other then @hotmail.com so they block it on msn.....

Is that your birthday? Because it's my birthday!

But yes, I usually put random stuff for my answers too, as my friends and I enjoy hacking each others accounts places, and it makes it harder!

Yes it is.
Anyways, my question is now my favorite movie.... Which really isn't my favorite movie......

A word of advice: don't tell anyone anything about your secret question. That way, this won't happen again :)
