Change your password to something harder to guess?

KnightWulfe · Post by **KnightWulfe** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 4:08 pm

my password has caps, lowercase, numbers and special characters AND is 12+ characters long....

I doubt that is the issue.

Well there are a number of solutions that can help resolve your conundrum....

Alpha) change your password even though the password...

has caps, lowercase, numbers and special characters AND is 12+ characters long....

2) Don't ever try Mescaline again as it may lead Hallucinations to with the effects lasting for up to 12 hours. (Which by the way explains only one turn being taken) Users typically experience visual hallucinations and radically altered states of consciousness, often experienced as pleasurable and illuminating but occasionally is accompanied by feelings of anxiety or revulsion.
Do any of these symptoms hit home with you! if NO proceed to step C!

Step C) Beat the crap out of your brother, sibling, significant other or Garden Gnome! psst... I burned mine after this happened to me and took acid(i don't like Mescaline, it tastes funny) while doing so and this only happened one more time!

i hope that helps because i do not have any other solutions!

1) I am an IT security geek. My passwords are always like that. Just habit.
2) Dont do drugs.
3) My wife does not even use my computer.

I am looking for a legitimate resolution here....Maybe on of the site mods could assist?

Have you given out your pass to anyone? (Dumb question probably since you've started a thread complaining and you haven't given a name.)

I'd say talk to one of the mods. If ya sweet talk them you could probably get an IP check and they can tell you what state/country the other person is logging in from. That could give you an idea of who is using your account.

you wont find an answer in here.... but being that you are a IT geek, you might want to put this question in Suggestions & Bug Reports! unless you think someone hacked your account! Maybe you have an arch enemy like The boy from Dexter's lab, but this only applies if you have a giant lab under your floor? what was the name of that guy? we should start a forum with that question! WHAT WAS THE NAME OF DEXTER'S ARCH ENEMY FROM CARTOONS NETWORK'S DEXTER'S LAB? that is a more promising forum!!! i just loved the way Dexter said LABORATORY! Anyone know the answer?

No, actually, they completely trashed a game I was winning. Knocked every territory I had on the borders down to 1 army.

I dont win very often and I was winning or damn near in this game. So I am rather irritated to come in and find the game messed with like this....

There are people called HACKERS and they like to mess around with other web users for their own enjoyment. If you really don't want your account to be accessed by someone else, I suggest you to change your password every week.

If you read the entire thread, you would see that I am VERY familiar with hackers, as I am an IT security geek. Do you know what type of password hacking program someone would need to hack a 12+ character password that uses caps, lowercase, numbers and special characters?

At minimum, they would need a 256bit hack, and that would take more than 4+ days to hack it....Do you really think that a hacker would waste their time hacking it for no reward?

Probability - .027%

Try offering somethign useful.

you wouldn't have, by chance, had a computer at work remember your name and password by accident, so all a coworker would have had to do is press login?

(even tho you are an IT geek and probably wouldn't make that mistake... is there a chance?

Honibaz · Post by **Honibaz** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 9:25 am

Then why else would you get hacked? Just change your password more often to avoid it(although I never change mine).

It looks like you would not have won no matter what you did with your turn. I mean, even if you were there to play your turn, the dice generator for the site would have screwed you over like always right?

Just admit you played it, and you didn't make the right decisions.

I turn off that function of IE the moment I login to a new computer. Besides... no one but security is in the building where I work on Sunday.

According to KnightWulfe's login records, nothing unusual happened on Aug 19. It seems like the turns were taken from his home computer. I'd guess someone used it while the computer was left unattended (either already logged in or with password saved) or the computer was remotely compromised with some keylogging trojan horse.

Case closed.

treefiddy · Post by **treefiddy** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 1:53 am

The site logs you out after an hour, and he turns off password saving on every computer he logs into.

The IT Security Professional clearly got hacked.

This entire situation reeks of irony.
