There are far too many reports of people being OMG HAKKED. OMG HAKKED is when you loan your password to someone, and they use TEH 1337 HAKKZOR to not give it back. Be sure to refer to this as OMG HAKKED, so that we know what's happened.
Here are some handy tips for not getting OMG HAKKED.
1) Always jump at deals that look too good to be true, as if you don't, someone else will!
2) Before you loan your password to someone, make absolutely sure that you can trust them! Signs of trustworthiness include them calling you "d00d" or "m8"; this shows that they are your friend, and friends never OMG HAKK friends. Also, if they say "lol" a lot, then they are a funny person, and therefore not OMG HAKKERZ.
3) Before loaning them your password, you have to be absolutely sure that they won't give it to anyone else. So, say "d00d durn give me passwrd 2 ne1 else or loose it lol". If they say "lol" in response, then you can be sure that your password is safe with them.
4) For extra security, you have to be very clear on what they are going to do with your password once you have loaned it to them. So, again, say something like "m8 juts buy teh vest an durn be a noob or giv my stuf away or nething ok lol". If they again respond "lol", then that forms a binding legal contract, which they cannot go back on.
5) Make it clear that you are only loaning them your password, and tell them when you want it back; for example, say "omg u hav 2 give me back passwrd in 5 mintus or else i report u rite awae d00d lol". Doing all of the above makes the loan of your password absolutely safe, and you cannot then be ripped off, except by someone who is untrustworthy.
6) Be sure that when you get your password back that it is in the same condition it was when you loaned it out. Don't accept it back if it has any wear or tear on it.
7) Don't waste your valuable time taking screen shots. If, despite following the above, some 1337 HAKKZOR does OMG HAKKED you, then you can just submit a support ticket, and the mods or devs will have to investigate the whole trade, and fix it for you to conform to your satisfaction. Be very sure to assert that you have been OMG HAKKED so that they know that this is a report of serious 1337 HAKKZOR abuse, and not just a case of you giving your account away, in violation of the EULA and repeated forum warnings, and then expecting to be given it back again. Only a noob would do that, so let them know in no uncertain terms that you're not a noob by saying "OMG I AM TEH HAKKED!!!!!!!!!!!!"
So if you can't tell at this point that I'm being totally sarcastic well then I guess you need this explanation. I'll see threads, get messages and tons of reports of 'HE HACKED ME NOW I CAN'T CHANGE MY PASSWORD AND HES DELETING ALL MY STUFF GET MY ACCOUNT BACK AAAAAAAAldskjbnibng.'
At some point someone got your password. That's all there is to it. No-one hacked your account, they just watched the keyboard when you typed in your password, or they got on the same computer after you when you didn't log out.
If you have a sister/brother who uses or can get to the same computer you play on, LOG OUT AFTER YOU FINISH PLAYING. If you have friends over, don't let them see you type in your password. If you;re at a friends house, log out before you leave. You may not be telling them your password, but you may just be letting them on without knowing it.
Also make sure your password isn't something easy to guess. Make it something confusing, my password changes every week and is made of 14 random numbers. I don't think you need to be as paranoid as I am, but you shouldn't make it the same as your username. |
