soooo.... whos hacking the PC'ers again?

[diamond]

Holy... I just saw some boards on PC o-o
I nervously checked two accounts where I hold my UCs and they're both fine.
Hopefully they'll survive this hacking wave. Darn, I've been signed up to many browser based games and I have never seen/heard of account hacking on such a mass scale.
I love neo but it's security is shitty ;w;

One of my accounts (which doesn't even have UC) got the user lookup status changed to stealth. I have changed my password. What else can I do to protect my account? nothing was taken and nothing was inside the side anyway

Change the mail as well and your PIN and just to be sure it wouldn't hurt to clean cookies as well

If nothing was taken, good chances are they couldnt do anything because of your pin

I was just reading another board where this happened. I read a forum post a few days ago about how we should all have this "No Script" attachment on Firefox (I couldn't find one for Chrome). It will secure you from this happening to you. I will try to find the post I read and copy/paste it here

Alright, this wasn't what I had originally read, but it describes what I was trying to say perfectly!!!

Is there a no script thing for chrome? Neopets runs like shit on Firefox for me. All the flash elements are slow and I have a gaming computer so it's definitely not my hardware.

This is interesting because I have run across 1-2 userlookups in the last day that had a bunch of broken code on their userlookup and I thought it was strange/lazy because they seemed like nice, active accounts. Makes me wonder if they were hit, too.

There was a script for Chrome but Google Chrome made it so you can only activate scripts that were downloaded directly through their shop I hate using Neo on Firefox, I only do it if I have to... and even then, I hardly do.

I'm confused about this "Stealth" thing... is that where people have things like "Online - ignoring YOU!" type things? I've been away from neo for several years.

Stealth used to be a premium only feature that you could put as a status so people couldn't see your last login, and then they released it to everyone. Its sort of a security measure.

Oh, so I don't have to worry about it if I'm on Chrome because only scripts from their google store will run on the browser? Or the things that stopped scripts from running on the browser isn't available anymore because it's not in the store? XD

I found this through the Chrome Script store.

@(you need an account to see links) No, sorry I worded that weirdly. There was a NoScript extension for Google Chrome, however Chrome decided to up their security and only allow extensions downloaded directly from their store to work. I found one on the Chrome store that looks to be very similar to the Firefox one that I posted! I'm just downloading it now.
