Beware! Just wanted to let everyone know to keep a close eye on your account. Someone figured out my password and has been in my account. I know this because it said I was last on last night at 10:06pm. I was in bed then because I hurt my leg and had taken a pain pill. I think I know who it is, there has been this psyco harassing me. Best bet I am going to police...again.:mad: |
Oh, how creepy. Thanks for the warning. |
That's awful. Have you contacted an admin, too? |
Thank you for the warning. Some people have nothing better to do I guess. |
Going to write them next. To be honest I thought it was finally safe to get back on line. This person has hijacked email account after email account of mine, sent harassing text, from a computer so it really can't be traced. I stayed off computers for about a year cause of this jerk |

Are you sure your account was hacked into and it's not just the time zone difference? Were you online last night at all or just not at the time it stated? If just not the time it stated then maybe it's a time zone difference issue. |

For them to have hacked into so many of your accounts, there might be a keystroke logger on your computer. There are online tools (free) that you can use to detect and remove keystroke loggers. However, if I were like you with such a huge amount of problems from this person, I would get a computer security professional to come in and look for loggers, and get them to set you up with as much security as possible. |
Have you reported this "jerk" that you think hacked into your account to police? Even if you dont have total proof start a file.. add to it as it happens so you have all your documentation Is this a personal thing or random? I wish you luck in getting the problem fix.. hopefully it really isn't a problem and just a "comptuer" glich on the time report!!. |
Rather than re-type this, please see my post here: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/off...ml#post3376707 Also, if you have a wireless network, be sure to use a good security protocol, and a good network key. It is relatively easy to track computers activity across an insecure network. Example here: Firefox Extension Allows Anyone to Steal Logins over Insecure Wireless Networks - Softpedia |
This is very likely. I would say it definately sounds like you have a keystroke logger on your machine! (Although I am no expert, I'm married to one and I hear a lot!). You need to get your machine rebuilt...even if you change your password, they will be able to harvest it again. Definitely, especially, don't do any financial transactions (banking, shopping, etc.) until you have this done! I would watch your accounts if you have been doing anything financial online recently.

YES, this happened to me too...on Maltese Talk. There was a thread on that I knew didn't start. It made me sound horrible. I asked the moderators to remove it before too many people posted on it. I changed my pswrd too...and continue to change it all the time...on both sites. Remember to change your pswrd once a week or so. |
Change your password to something random which has nothing to do with you or your life, something like bluespikeybanana and throw in some random numbers or the odd spelling mistake too. You could always write your password down and stick it to the side of your computer screen so you wont forget it. The more crazy your password is the harder it is for someone to guess it! |
Thanks so much everyone for the suggestions. I have installed a good, or so I thought, security program which scans for viruses, key logger programs and stuff like that. I have made numerous reports to the police, they are looking into it. I also believe that this person has made up a profile on here, which I did report to admin., but they said unless this person did something to me directly, that there is nothing they can do. If you pm me I will tell you their id name. I even had to change my cell phone number, a week later they had the new number some how. This is getting really old!!:mad: Oh..the other night I was not on at all, not even during the day!! |
So the posts shown for you on 2-7-11, were not made by you but this person that has stolen your password? Why would they make posts under your user name? |
I don't understand how you were able to see your last log-in time as being fromt the night before. When anyone goes to their own profile, it shows their current status....not what time you were on the night before. The only way that you could have seen that it was showing you on at 10pm last night is if you were viewing it from another screenname. :confused: |
wow that is just creepy! |

When I log in to Yorkie Talk at the top of the is a little blue box that states: Welcome NGessner You last visited on XXXX at such and such time. Maybe this is what she is referring to- |

That's what I was referring to, thanks for explaining that to others. Any post showing in the middle of the night on the 7th was me. I was at work until 7 am on the 7th. I did not get back on YT until yesterday. Were there any post made after 7 am on the 7th? Please let me know, thanks. |
