Be Cautious Fellow Neopians

Quoted from a neoboard that has been going on for a while now. "From the looks of it people from the PC and TC are getting hacked into and have their neopoint stolen. Even monophyte or whatever his name is got 200 million stolen. He had a PIN NUMBER, never visited UL, ECT. or so he said. It seems that the person can get you nps without stealing cookies or pins. (c) Yes attacked Right now it seems that the person is only getting into famous accounts. A few people have been hacked into but are super famous. If the person gets desperate though they may attack PCER for their pets.. so I'd advice you to stay low.. o_o You may say you have no nps but unconverted pets are highly sought after in the neopets black market *-* And..direct quote from monophyte: I talked to one of the hackers, and he said he is NOT SQL injecting. He can't say if the person who edited my neopoints is though, since the two schemes are unrelated. There are more than one hackers around T_T Directly quoted from the hacker: Let me clarify some stuff. - The NP editing thing is bs. - Not all accounts can be hacked. - Your email provider has nothing to do with this. - Your membership with any offline site has somewhat to do with this." That is just what the person telling about this horrible act has said. I am not saying that neopets has been 'hacked'. It may be something less complicated. However, if this is true, we should all be careful....again.

There's both the 'IDB' as in Item Database and the 'IDB' as in In-Depth Battlepedia. I'm guessing it's the latter being referred to here.

Instead of quoting multiple times, I will just summarize. C++ is a good language to be learning in. Glad you said that instead of visual basic (aka vb.net now a days). I have formal training in vb.net, and have also self taught meself visual basic (DOS, old school). I have no knowledge of the C language at all (aka the hardcore true programming) Someone mentioned Jellyneo. A most infuriour rubbish that ever existed. I'll stop there. Someone also mentioned a few drinks, I am guilty of that now, so I may be making no sense myself. Add to that the dilemma that my sister caused by creating a facebook account for me (I refuse to have anything to do with such social sites... UGH wont delete it, but wont admit it either). I am not sure of whats really happening on neo, but it seems to be really an isolated and unique case, that seems to be (to my knowledge) only effecting certain so called BDers... Not sure, I have not really be actively participating in any neo socialization. I stock my shop when I am bored and thats about it. Darn #%#$% TNT taking forever to finish the plot and other things. MAkes me wonder. Also, since I have no real appropriate place to post this, I thank you fellow mallers that have made purchases at my shop. I pay close attention to my sales history @_@ Now if only I could remember how to edit my siggy here, since I made much more profit from the plot since I last edited it [font=Courier New] -------------------------------------------------------------- Nubs [b] War [/b] Supply: http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=whispering_acara&misc Profits from new plot so far: 9.78m [/font]

LOL. C++ is for hardcore programmers? Then does that mean that I will take over the world? No but really, is computer programming related to making websites or is that a whole other thing? Or is it like making a microsoft word? I'm so confused. Right now, we're just running a program making the computer compute areas, bank accounts, etc. Oh shoot. I forgot to mention I didn't mean to change the subject completely but getting more answers here is way better than personally messaging one person. But then again, I could have made a new thread about it. Whoops, laziness took over. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=1434sweet#p

Yes, C++ is a good thing to learn, just be happy about that :) I would rather know C++ at this point than oldschool VB (though it was handy to know, I wrote many a little helper app for myself throughout the years, but in the end, I'd rather know C++ now...) 'Someone mentioned Jellyneo. A most infuriour rubbish that ever existed. I'll stop there.' Yea, it has it's issues, but the Item DB is an awesome resource! But still, be careful with all offsite accounts. If it's BDers having the issue, then it likely came from the In-Depth Battlepedia.

Douh *slaps self* Opps yeah for DOS it was Quick Basic, not sure what I was thinking last night LOL For item names and research, the JN Database is useful. It just annoys me when so many people use it as a price reference and such. Again, since I dont know where best to post this, I'll post it here, since it may be related to the incidences going on. No matter where I navigate to, this is what my screen looks like. The NC Mall is the only page I found so far that loads normally. I have never seen stuff like this before: [font=Courier New] -------------------------------------------------------------- Nubs [b] War [/b] Supply: http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=whispering_acara&misc Profits from new plot so far: 9.78m [/font]
