neopets account safety..

Submitted by deviln3 on Mon, 19/04/2010 - 1:46pm
Hmm if I were to visit someone look up or something.. and I feel it might have been unsafe. Will logging out of my account and logging back in save me from cookie grabbers? o_o I use firefox btw and noscript, haven't had a cg problem before and would like to keep it that way. Thanks!

I dont think that logging in/out does anything, you would have to change your passwords and pins. [hr][size=11]Training Supplies, Meds, Neggs & Luck!!! www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=_jaspeh_&misc 4mil Independent Ads http://www.neopets.com/~SicalliaRomeo [/size]

[center] Logging out and back in creates a new cookie, making the old cookie null and void. So if they only grabbed cookies, and didn't form any kind of connection with your account, I think you're okay. But it might be wise to change pws and all of that anyway. *nods* ------------------------------------------------------------------- [url=http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=raine_storme&misc]~~ Come visit my map shop ~~[/url] [/center]

It is scary. Even if you don't play it, hackers are trying to hack good accounts most of the time. So many retired good accounts have surfaced recently.

[center] Rofl, I wish I hacker would go after my account with the jetsam. :O Then at least maybe the poor creature would wind up in the pound. TNT won't help me get into the account for any reason, because I left it alone too long while I was trying to figure out the password and before I gave in and tried TNT for help. :O But the account was just a side, so nothing to attract a hacker. :/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- [url=http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=raine_storme&misc]~~ Come visit my map shop ~~[/url] [/center]

I was a little kid back then and my parents had taught me well about online privacy. So I put in fake information when creating my account, like fake birthday, and address and stuff. Now when I try to login, they won't let me until I put in my birth date which I can't remember. And they won't help me get it back cause its been too long. There not many neopoints on that account I doubt barely 50k or something, but my first ever pet is on there!!! And I actually use to care about neopets back then.. now I just line mine starve lol
