Looks like a bunch of people got hacked in PC. But not like the UCs are being transferred or something? What on earth is happening??

[Wynd]

I suspect unreg. e-mails or CG. I wasn't hit.

[AllTheWayToVictory]

I don't think it's CG, no one reports that they went to any user editable page and got hacked. Unreg. email might be the thing, but with many PC active accounts being hacked I doubt if they are all using unreg. email??

[Wynd]

I'm not sure. Those are the only methods I know of.

[DonValentino]

You PC, bro?

[Coops]

What is PC? o.O

[Liesa]

It's not pc, I've barely been on the boards with my account and I stayed far away from PC.
My account had it's pass and email changed and the lookup now shows some broken coding.

Oh. 

Did you lose your account? :c

[Liesa]

Oh. 

Did you lose your account? :c

 

Sadly, yup. 

[Coops]

Sadly, yup. 

Let me know if you plan to restart or whatever. I'd be happy to give you neopoints and stuff. So sorry you lost your account.

I'm rebuilding a shell at the moment but my heart isn't really in it. It's just horrible because I can still see the account, they haven't frozen it or moved stuff or hell even converted and traded away my pets.

Ugh. I can't really imagine. PM me if you need any nps, or avatar lends, or whatever. :c Don't hesitate to ask.

I don't usually go to PC. But I heard most victims (but not all) are from PC. This is different from usual hacks as people get their lookup changed with cracked codings, turning login status into stealthy, lost NP or items etc. But it's not everyone who got hacked having the same issue.

[Wynd]

It was most likely a planned mass-hack and is probably somewhere in a hacking forum somewhere if I had to guess. Something like this normally isn't controlled by a single person. It's a group.

It could be people targeting people who have used the trading post, auction house etc recently. 

[AllTheWayToVictory]

I don't think so, because that would more likely hit trading board than PC. And people would easily find that out. In the mean time the hacker is doing quite odd to the hacked accounts with all those broken codes etc. not really stealing many stuffs, no one is sure how did that happen and what are they going to do. That's pretty odd.

Maybe just maybe, it's just another one of those Neopets/Jumpstart's glitches.

 

An employee of them might have gone through a part of neo user database and while he spun the chair as another coworker was calling him from another side of the cubicle didn't realize that the cup of coffee he just made that was placed beside the old and ratchet keyboard was spilled and after diligently drying it off with his pink napkin then started making buzzing noises creating a new mutated virus that alters the currently open database of users. Thus, created this whole mess.

[Cass]

It's definitely not a glitch. It's still ongoing on one of my hit accounts. They took what they could (which was only 100k lol) and left all login details unchanged. I changed it, and have gotten locked out a couple times yesterday because "I tried to guess my password too many times".

[talbs]

You PC, bro?

 

[Wynd]

Yeah, I don't think it's a glitch. There's a lot of evident changes that has gone to some of the accounts including changes to their lookups and such. For now I'm going to assume it was a PC target, because this is definitely not the first time they've been targeted. They're most likely only going for active accounts.

I don't suppose you happen to have a copy of your old lookup coding and a copy of what's on there now, do you? I'd be interested to see what actually changed on it, might give us a clue as to why.

Nope I don't remember which one I used I can PM you my account if you still want to take a look.

Could Google cache hold a copy of what your lookup looked like? Maybe that may help?

I already tried that but didn't find one

Hardly. Unless people force the cache now but still kinda useless since TNT blocked the caching on lookups
