What's going on with neopets lately?? Yesterday there was a huge incident where basic pets that were rotting on old accounts were taken and turned into UCs!

Sara the green basic shoy on the account "neri" was taken and turned into a UC RoyalGirl Kyrii! A guy had swapped pets with her without even going on her account. The pet n578451 has taken place with Sara.


Spirit the yellow basic gelert on the account "caroline_pittman" was taken and turned into a UC Faerie Draik! Same guy did the same thing. The pet n57845 swapped places with Spirit.

He has been frozen but this is creepy that he was able to take these pets and turn them into UCs.


Same thing with the pet "Mischief"

    The guy who did it is on another cheating site I believe.

    People were thinking that they arent really changed just coded to look that way.
    But they arent coded to look like a UC, they really are.

    perhaps he is hacking the site to change the pets
    pretty awesome and i am sure his prices are quite high - i imagine plenty of people would give an arm and a leg to turn a newly purged pet name into a high end UC

    I just hope he doesn't have access to all the credit cards people have used for NC/Premium

    Probably why neopets has been so laggy lately too

    I noticed this yesterday, it guess it was all over Charter.
    I think he found out how TNT has been unconverting those CGed pets. And has been using that method. But how he got into inactive accounts, I'm not sure. :/

    This can only be done if he has access to their sql database, he then just reassigned the pet to him, and changed its species, and added the UC flag. It was really stupid of him to do, as Neopets will notice it in a flash.

    And I couldn't really imagine someone buying the service if they know he got frozen for it, only if he made it undetectable could it be sellable. And I assume people would notice if a newly purged pet was UC and not old enough to be UC, therefore that account would be frozen as well.

    Hmm but he managed to create pets that were old enough though

    Although I'm sure that he didn't really care about being frozen and was more siked on the fact that he could change pets into UC's and bug a bunch of people out..

    More like a few people, if TNT saw it happening to tons of accounts then they would probably stop freezing them, or if a very reputable account was compromised.

    That would be nearly impossible.

    I saw the whole Mischief thing yesterday or the day before. The pet got passed through a few accounts.

    Maybe it's a disgruntled ex-employee? Posted Image

    I just think it was kind of stupid of him (or her) to do it to pets that never purged.

    I mean, yeah, a UC RG Kyrii named Sara is amazing and would trade highly in the PC, but people were recently going crazy over the purge and stalked a gazillion names so of course he would get caught using an unpurged RN pet.
    If he did it to pets that had original created names, then he would've probably done it without really being detected. :o (Well, that's what I think anyway).

    Wish I was him. I'd love a UC RG Kyrii. Haha.

    Oh, but if he was just doing all of this for kicks and laughs and to create havoc on the PC, then he's doing an amazing job. :)

    Getting access to the SQL database.

    This would be the most likely scenario if he did have access to the database, although I would imagine he could've done much worse things (like changing every Neopet to level 1).
