    Take a deep breath. You're probably going to need to give some more information.

    What do you mean by you were hacked? What happened exactly?

    Someone is posting on this account, saying bad things. He advertised his twitter as #1 hacker on the internet. I am afraid my account is going to be permed.

    His account has had a few "interesting" forum posts, mainly on his profile, which were either deleted by himself, or I. I am mainly seeing if he gets control of his account back by changing his password and other forms of information, or I shall have to ban it.

    Please don't! The hacker adverted his twitter. Please... I did change my password but I think he is still logged in.

    Like I said I'll give it sometime, as I believe you'll regain control of your account eventually, but if it continues and he posts negative information on other peoples walls, threads, etc.. then I shall have to take action eventually. Hopefully I do not have to do that though. So continuing to change your password and other forms of information would be advised.

    Well obviously. Stop typing in all caps and relax, there isn't much he can actually do except mess with your information and post rude messages, all of which can be fixed with the simple delete button. I'd recommend contacting Cyp about this in a calm manor and seeing if he will look into it, if not then you just have to wait and see what happens.

    Edit: It says your main account is now offline, he isn't on your account anymore, and as long as you have actually changed your password you should be fine.

    As I just edited in my last post, he seems to be off your main account as it isn't logged in anymore, assuming you did change your password you should be fine. If this happens again just contact me and I'll make a post about it to get Cyps attention. I'll check to see if they did anything malicious and delete any of the unneeded posts. :)

    I was just skyping with Maxi about this. It will probably end up in a perming of my old account, and a creation of a new one. Obviously, I would not like to be called Michal2. Instead, I will use my IGN, probably.

    Right now, it is banned for a week. I may be able to salvage it.

    OK take a deep breath.

    1) You need to think carefully about ALL the online accounts you have. Make a list of them and write them down on paper, including the usernames and passwords.
    2) You need to ask yourself: How did the hacker get 1 (or all) of them? Did they get in by hacking your computer? Or maybe they hacked another site and you used the same username/password?
    3) Close the hole: If you suspect your computer has a virus, make sure you do a FULL REINSTALL. Nothing short of that is safe against a modern day virus.
    4) Change the usernames/passwords on your accounts. All of them. If you want you can use a password manager like LastPass, which will make sure that all websites and logins have a unique username/password

    This issue has mainly been resolved. I think the hacker hacks random accounts for publicity as he advertised his twitter.

    Man I just don't see why someone would want this to do this to our community. I have lost all faith in society.

    I thought he got so many PMs that he can't exactly answer all of them, and plus, this would not only get Cyp's attention but also the moderators attention.

    I think he hacked the account by tricking the server into thinking that the hacker was me (so he could use my auto-login feature), and so the server logged him in and he was free to do what he wants. I have changed the password to my bank account, email, and other necessary stuff. I don't believe this is a virus.
