how's it going RT? sorry i haven't been on in forever. real life is being lame and demanding more attention out of me.

anyways, i just wanted to share with you guys some news. about a week ago, my minecraft login was compromised. this account contained sensitive billing information and all. fortunately, i was able to get it back before it was too late. the sad thing is that i'm pretty sure this wasn't an isolated incident.

during may 2016, someone discovered the pw to one of my alternate accounts on roblox that i made back in like 2010. unfortunately for me, i had literally ~2000 accounts which used the same pw, and this person decided to post on a certain subforum my login credentials.

this caused a slew of ######## to compromise hundreds upon hundreds of my old accounts. of course this wasn't a huge issue; i really just created the accounts for fun and nothing critical was lost. however, i did lose some of my respect for a certain subforum and i also got the sense that with great power (or rather, popularity) comes great responsiblity.

i managed to recover/secure all but ~30 of my over 3000 alternate accounts (don't judge, lol) and effectively stopped this mass account compromise. fast forward to today. i am getting literally hundreds of emails from people trying to "reset" their pw (i.e. steal my a##ount back)

i have also received hateful messages from select users who mock me and feel as if they have a right to my accounts. of course i've detailed this to roblox support staff and they did in fact help me somewhat to the best of their power, but it's been a struggle mostly on my end.

anyways, the newest incident was very alarming and it reminded me that people are ruthless. never trust ANYONE with your information or login details. you will only be scammed and suckered out of your rightful belongings. however, i do thank you RT (and to some degree OT) for supporting me through all of these years.

stay safe RT.

best wishes,

-- VTG

That's unfortunate.

To your point I have to take a lot of steps to secure my virtual assets which is really sad.

Aww, that's a shame to hear. :( I really should be more careful with my stuff though; I only just put a unique code on my bank account the other day - one that was different than the one I've been using ever since my Club Penguin account 9 years ago...

Sorry to hear that man

Not much you can do though, thieves are getting smarter & companies can't keep up I guess - been happening to a lot of people

Best u can do is keep it all locked down and hope for the best

Good luck

that's strange. well i didn't have too many issues with stolen property before that. i did lose an amazing alt that i snagged with an epic username, but it was an isolated incident. i may have posted about that a long time ago. it's sort of a blur now lol.
