Yeah seriously someone doesnt have a life lol Anyways word has it that these idiots are breaking into neopets fansites and getting the passwords that way since people tend to use the same password everywhere. Or it could be that database issue. Rest assured though, the security imposed on neomallers is rock solid. Even if the database was broken into by any chance, the passwords are encrypted at a level that the encryption cannot be reversed. BUT, you should still use an unique word for this site too I'll change the server's root password when i get home again. (I cant change it now since i dont know what my server password is. It's that complicated lol)

logged into my e-mail and saw a lost-password attempt. thankfully the only place i use that password is neo and that neo-tied e-mail account. i changed my word anyways. --Manic http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=tehubermanic

I jsut randomly got signed out from my account like...5minutes ago. Immediately noticed and changed my password and put all my NPs in the bank (everything has a pin (: ) Do you think I have a lot of reason to be worried and what should I do about it?

Thanks for posting this Dmitri. Was it another hacker that got into neo?

PINs aren't doing anything apparently.
