Got hacked while on MMO-Champion.com
The whole Adobe Flash exploit bullshit... just be careful.
It's getting to the point where it's tempting to disable flash, or have a dedicated machine for surfing the net, or surfing in a virtual machine. /sigh
does that one goes through authenticator security?
Just use on screen keyboard they are not keylog-able.
Are you insinuating that mmo champ ran an ad that compromised your comp? That being said might be one of the most rewarding hacks in wow history.Quote:

on a side note, here's the invader derailing thread!

how can you be so sure the hack originated from an ad on mmo-champion ? Your account could have been on queue for months..
IMO this is another reason to install adblock (and only use firefox or chrome).
I hate to hear this man. Hackers are on my short list. I think it goes...
Child Rapists,
Rapists,
Anyone who steps on my lawn,
underpants gnomes,
and Hackers.
anyways, I'm kinda surprised you didn't try out that authenticator/Android thing you told us about a while back man.

There's a unofficial patch out for that:

Yet another account compromised because of failure to do the best you can to maintain account security (Authenticator). Nothing really to see here. Another flash exploit, another keylogged account that didn't have an authenticator.Quote:

I made the mistake, that is true. But that doesn't mean that I should not warn people about this.Quote:

Also as to how do I know it originated from mmo-champion? I had two websites open. MMO and d2jsp. It being in "que" doesn't make sense as a majority of the time I am on that account while boxing and in the one instance I was not and was logged into a website in my browser that had flash based ads logged into that account to check something then out... and it gets hacked that exact night... yeah too good to be just a coincidence.
Anyway. It's all fixed. Authenticator + anti-script plugin.
Thank you for warning us that you are an idiot.
Your post wasn't really a warning it was more an assumption that could have been prevented if you used an authenticator. Then you proceed to say OMG LOOK AT ME IZ KNOW DA GMS BRO. Instead of saying something like "Fortunately they were able to restore my account and all is well. Just a heads up for people who like to browse MMO-Champion and forget to authenticate".
I leave this thread with this message:

P.S. Fenril for President
I didn't mean to say you shouldn't warn people. I just took the opportunity to point out yet another hacked account that didn't have an authenticator on it.Quote:

You are comparing apples with tomatoes, since according to that article you need a working user account to exploit the bug. 'foolproof & 100% are your words. Don't think anyone with common sense is gonna state that something that is made by humans can ever be 100% foolproof. But it's pretty clear that both operating systems play in a different league, one in the secure league, and another one in the insecure league. You blame him for not having an authenticator, by that same logic i blame him for not having a secure OS.Quote:

you should stop advertising for non-windows OS.
If enough people hear you and make the move, so will the hackers.You basically have nothing to gain, and everything to lose.
TLDR: gloating about the awesome lack of virus/hacks of your OS will only bring viruses/hackers to your OS in the long term.
just saying :p
Well we know it wasnt DB! :D

Apples and tomatoes, indeed, as you have completely different players in the game. Hackers who are out to actually make money wouldn't target linux even if it were LESS secure because there's no money in it due to the vanishingly small market.

Personally I prefer that you would quote me without changing what I wrote. There are other ways to make your point instead of making it look like I wrote that. But obviously I have no influence on that. Anyways:Quote:

Calling an opensource os so widely used among top universities, businesses & scientific organizations 'obscure', compared to a commercial closed source os with a past of failure, is ... well plain stupid.Quote:

You better go write us up a huge guide on how to use common sense. Please.
At least your not writing huge threads about how much uni homework you have anymore or exactly how many pages each project is.
I hope these forums get back to being interesting and fun once Cataclysm hits because Shodokan the Clown is getting a bit old. :/
time for Space Invaders!
