please help me :frusty:
 
yeah, he did something wrong......things like this just don't happen for no reason.....where there's smoke, there's fire in my book.....
 
Actually, I had my FTN account stolen a few years ago, probably by staff at a site where I had just signed up with the same password. It's suspicious, but not impossible.

You need to stick around here more longer m8. In time you will come to realize that many people have some very interesting comedic stories to tell and excuses. I am very surprised i havent heard the re-formatting of the hd's excuse lately. :slap::drunk:
 
Most likely the case.

Unless somebody knew your password (highly unlikely unless you used something really insecure), then there is no way they were able to access the account.

No one would try to brute-force a password (the logs would catch all the attempts) and all the passwords are hashed/encrypted in the DB so no admins would've tampered with it (unless given a serious enough reason to).

i had almost the same experience with my waffles account so dont says something you dont know ;)
the hacker logged into my account and i dunno how because i had a realy strong password (made by recover pass from waffles) , and he changed the password and then he tired to change the mail but for this he need to confirme it from the old mail (i used gmail) ; so in that time i got in my inbox gmail the mail from waffles...and i tired to log into my account but its too late the pass alredy chaned, so i decided to recover and surprise the email is not found on the date base :)
i have not confrimed the changement of the mail :) and he is not enter to my gmail account (and the mail to confrime is still unread)...
just to tell you a good hacker can get easly your account , trackers security is a joke for him, actualy i got back my account, thx to waffles staff

maybe you are right , but you have to know i used password like : iotpLaXEyO , and i dont type it since i use firefox so its registred in my firefox (maybe he got it from here) , if so why he didnt get other more higher and interssting trackers :) and i use kaspersky IS 2010 full update so maybe i have to change it now ...
also what about the mail? i didnt confirmed the changement of mail and the mail is changed to his mail?!
It doesnt really matter what you have used special char etc or how long your password lenght... if you got what i mean.
 
Did someone just scammed you? So you trying to get acc back ? :lol:
