Hacked?

Submitted by texas_girl_95 on Fri, 05/06/2009 - 9:25pm
I'm sure some of you have heard by now but I thought I'd tell you what happened with hopes it doesn't happen to anyone else: I had been online Wednesday buying everything on half price day (my favorite shopping day) & I signed out about 11:00 PM. Thursday afternoon when I tried to log in I kept getting "Invalid password" So I checked everything & tried again. I logged into my daughters account & looked me up & noticed it said "Last seen: Under One Day" That is when I knew someone hacked into my account. Luckily I did have PIN numbers. So I sent an email to TNT & within an hour my account was disabled. I called in today & he told me it should take them 2 days to straighten it out. I just hope Saturday is considered a day. I really thought all the cookie grabbers was a thing of the past but it looks to me as if its not so be careful & if you haven't added PIN numbers to your till or your bank account I would suggest that you do. Hugs, Texas

Yay congrats! *clap* As for the bank account, that's odd. You might want to run a virus check on your computer. Though if it's a personal keylogger, then i doubt anti-virus companies keep track of every little keylogger program =/

Woohoo! I'm glad to hear you're back. I was wondering about this the other day. Sorry about the bank account :/ That sucks. But at least you got your account back.

Steph said it was keyloggers, never heard of that until now. I guess the PIN's won't help when that happens. Oh yes it feels so much better to know I'm back. Thank you all very much I am so excited to have my account back *clap* Check out my Faerie Shop: http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=texas_girl_95

Is it possible that if you had your browser remember your PIN (I know FireFox can) that the keyloggers wouldn't work because you aren't actually typing the PIN in? Neopian Wholesale Cards - Great for mallers who need to restock http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=neosider410&banner

I'm so glad that you got your account back, Texas! You were missed. It's too bad about the bank account. That's really odd.
