I have never put my routing or account number on Neopets.com, is there a keylogger I am not aware of? How do I buy NC through ACH? You people are fear mongering. They don't have that significant a level of access to payment information. I am going to ask again, what critical, personal information on you storing on your Neopets account? I hope not your SSN or drivers license no. Your birthdate, email and full name are constantly being traded by advertises and trackers. Also I never said Guy Fawkes was a good person. Dude wanted to blow up parliamentary, he was a terrorist willing to die for an ideal, idk if this guys ideal is your personal ID, harassing women or exposing TNT but the only threat to any account security I have on this site right now is catching a ban by TNT for using a VPN in 2023.
EDIT
That's completely fair. I didn't consider that this person could use these tools to be sexually harass women. Broadens things for me. I would usually assume blackhats want more than to bother women but we're in that incel era for sure. With that being said I would argue the biggest threat is the person identifying whatever younger / minor users there may still be left and targeting them specifically.
