To anyone that has my aim, my accounts been hacked by whoever hacked hattricks old aim. I'm not sure how he did it, he was asking for my email address and I thought it was kind of wierd but didn't see how him having my email address could do anything. Anyway, to anyone that has my aim, block me. Sighhh.

I've never been hacked before and really don't know who to contact. I also don't know how the hacker did it. I'm on a MAC, on a secured network etc. The pw I used is a common pw that I've used for other things too but I'm just going to switch pws everywhere now. All my accounts have rsa's though. Bah, I feel dumb.

hackers die plz

sorry.. i hate this kind of crap.. same as burglarizing somebody's home IMO

Good to hear that the funds are safe.. I won't use AIM because of crap like this.. maybe that's the reason i don't have poker playing friends.. lol.. hackers = my friends hating that all i talk about is poker and that i sound like an alien to them.. blaming my problems on other people FTW!

Social Engineering is the biggee so be sure you know who your giving your info to. A lot of guys get hacked because they're too trusting. Let me know if you all need help hardening your systems and I'll be happy to give a few pointers.

you sound like a hacker.

I keed, I keed.....

there is an option in AIM where you can block all users from messaging you at all if they aren't on your buddy list... I've always done this and it prevents those keylogging POSs from having a prayer afaik

Just a guess as I'm not up to date on PCs as I used to be, but I would assume he has reset your password on the account using the 'Forgot your Password' feature and most likely not hacked into it through your Mac or had anything to do in your computer itself. Generally, myself included, people used to use easier to guess security questions like 'What school did I go to'? etc when they made the account years ago.

You may be able to reset it with this link if they haven't changed your security question:

AIM Reset Password

This POS just hit me up on aim asking me to send $400 to David Rowan on FTP.

Didnt see this thread but thought something was off so I asked him a few questions only ape could answer - he obv failed.

Hope you get this resolved, ape...god I despise hackers.

this has to be the reason why ppl are gettin hacked..

I am not from USA but it seems AIM is the most used instant message service, why dont you start using Windows live msn or Skype?
