TNT really can be annoying sometimes. Even with games. 'Sorry, our servers are down for maintainance and we can't accept your score :('. I lost my gold trophy for this. Days later, they say 'Your score has been accepted'. I glance at the highscore boards and to see that my score would have only scored bronze and it is not even there. Sometimes I am also scared because I think I am about to get frozen. I sometimes get scared because I sometimes think I can get frozen by reporting someone. Even though I should report them I don't because I'm scared of being frozen. What about you?

[quote=_x_mareh_x_][quote=1434neopets][quote=demirep77]If something happens to my account I'm quitting. Screw this. I really hate how they can't even own up to their own security issues and instead say that the password was easily guessable.[/quote] I really hope they fix this. I would also quit forever if my account get jeopardized. I have no idea how they can come up with new features in the site and not worry about what worries us more. I would trade all of the new released items, style showdown, new spotlights and contests in exchange to a better security in neopets. In fact, I would trade all games with it too in a blink! [/quote] I totally agree! It seems like every time I get a really good snipe I change my information because I am afraid of getting CGed... and on a site with so many kids. You would think that would be the absolute top priority! The kids can't even chat but yet its ok if they are CGed. After all TNT doesn't see a problem with freezing them because they had an "easily guessed" password![/quote] I agree too! I'm a child and I'm not even a teenager yet, but I can chat because I got my parents to sign the consent form. After a while it got verified (at least neopets is doing SOMETHING right). By the way, whats CGed? (P.S. Sorry for the double post...)

[quote=playful] Sorry for the double post, but does this mean anyone can just duck in and see all the passwords? Like viewing the page source of a website? Is it that easy?[/quote] well, not quite that easily but doable. the basic understanding is that some one(s) found a vulnerability which allowed them to send crazy commands to the site and gained them access to stuff they shouldn't have had access to. It's not so easy that you or I would know how to do it, but it has clearly been done. [quote=playful]Also, if they can hack any account, why do they want to? I mean, really, how rich does one person need to be?[/quote] There are bad people out there on bad websites who sell neopoints and neopets items for real life money. And yes, there are equally bad people out there who will buy that stuff with real money. That is what is being done with most of the stuff stolen off of accounts. Ditto all those cheaters with their hundreds of accounts sending fake game scores - those neopoints are also sold.
