Hmm has he kept in contact with you at all?

Do password crackers really exist? =\ i mean, ones that can work on games like these?

Apparently they do, But why would you hack a "kids" game? Seriously.. if I was just a random victim of vandalism, Why not go for someone higher? (No offensive, nor am I saying they deserve it) But if you want to make someone unhappy, wouldn't you want to do it to someone who's put alot more hardwork in?

Also, Whoever keeps de'repping me needs to stop =/

Now someone's de-repping you in mass right now? Dude, someone's got a grudge... =_="

If you're getting bullshit dereps and the like, report it to a mod. Regardless if the system is anon, you CAN get in trouble for abusing it, and mods can see who left rep.

Thanks guys. You've all been a big help.

Yes they do exist, they're called keyloggers. They 'see' your password through a kind of virus you open from emails/websites/ads. Then, they display it in this kind of program or something and everything is there, User ID, Password everything. Not to metion, just an account ID is enough for a person to hack your account.

Have you given your User ID to someone lately?

Not really, it takes a lot of hardwork and skills to hack a persons account by just an account ID. You basically have to try everything, all 26 alphabets and 1-9 numbers. then, they could be jumbled up, like 1ei4i90r or something. It'll take ages and ages. Lol i read somewhere that if you have 17 numbers and alphabets jumbled together, it'll take a super computer to solve it in 1 year. And its impossible for a normal human to solve it lol.

That's why I asked if you've kept in contact with this guy lately. Maybe he sent you an email, or a link to a picture or a website. The virus would then infiltrate, and everything you type would be sent to him.

Well, last time I checked, OGP forums names are our account names and there's no limit to the number of times you can try to login!

Makes for great brute force password cracking!

oohh~ well, anyways atleast ogp could've not made the forum name
the same as your user ID, then it'd be harder for someone to hack u >:3

on topic:
u can try using the 'soft keybored' (on screen keyboard) i think if use it
keyloggers won't receive the things you type since u click on the screen and not using keyboard. (i'm not sure though)

I think someone told me that the soft keyboard was the only way to get psas keyloggers, its definitely a great idea in fact `-`;;. But even then, soft keyboards are really really really annoying.......

I've scanned for viruses, Loggers, all that jazz, And I'm behind a firewall and Anti-virus. I never open email attachments, and rarely go to other sites then OGP forums, here, myspace and deviantart.

thats confusing @_@;;, then there is only one possiblity, someone has obviously leaked your password out, it may be anyone.....

[Quebee]

or someone knew your email account and pretended to use the 'i forgot my password' option and stole it...

><

[LolJaen]

Sucks to hear that,And that is why only 1 single person in this earth knows my pw,
and she pretty much quit.I'd say just change your pw and stuff and continue,Also the mule account thing is a very good idea,just don't be a moron like me and forget the pw to that mule orz.

Make a mental note, of write it down and put it in your wallet, or with important papers. Make a completely different Email, A completely different mule name that has NO LINK what so ever to your account, or you.

Don't give up! we're be here for you! let me know if you need any help!

[JerryJax]

Wow, that is NOT cool bro...Ugh, if living down south isn't bad enough(kiddin'..sorta!) Well, I can try to help ya out whatever way possible. It is sad that people hack or scam others honestly. They are usually SO desperate because they have no friends IRL or in-game that they resort to getting things the illegal way <,<;

Don't let others have your PW by no means anymore, it is not worth it unless you take one of their "valuable" items and let another friend/mule hold on to it as collateral. Hope to talk to you in-game soon~

[Hatshipuh]

Sounds exactly like the thing that happened to me, except that the Support immediately reacted with a restoration of my stuff and banning my hacker.
Well I quit anyways and I just found out that I got perm banned from OGP just now =o
Probably for my Screen I posted in the Event Section for the Big Apple SS Contest :3
