Hanku Royiaki got HACKED ><

[Hankitty]

Yes, ALL my stuff is gone. More active members here know what rare and expensive items I had, so if you were on my Friends List, go ahead and put me back on yours.

btw, the two collectibles I have now were donated from a good friend. XD  

[Pachelbel Canon]

What exactly happened? Because I have heard time and time again that this site has no "hacking," just scamming.

Did you give out your password?  

[Hankitty]

F*CK no! It was somebody I was talking to via an rp and then when she gave me a "link" to one of her own rp's I clicked the link, the warning didn't pop up, and POOF I was logged out. I quickly changed my password, but she already changed the email address and somehow got me to log out and not get back in.

This person was no n00b at hacking, she got to know me and used me. -_-

Anytime someone sends you a link, right click and check the properties to see where it takes you.

I guess you're right about that angel. Still, it doesn't matter. Everything I had is gone, now. I'm just tryin to get my friends from FG4PG back on my list.  

[Larghaz]

Kinda makes you rethink the people you trust on the Internet don't it?  

[tsukasa_the_quiet]

Sucks for you.

Have to be paranoid as hell nowadays, too many people getting on the site, and too many of them can code a website to get your information. ninja

How exactly did she get you to click the link, and by that, I mean what did she tell you it was?

damn u beat me to it xd  

[Hankitty]

For one, we had a conversation before she SCAMMED me. XP

She liked my rping and offered me to join her rp. The link had the http//gaiaonline stuff but apparantly, I outta be hugging that 'right-click, Properties' button more often. -_-

The link immediately logged me out. I wasn't stupid and just gave up, I changed my password 3 times and my email once, she still got into it and removed the email address and somehow logged me out even when I was in the middle of posting.  

[Iconised Ghost]

you can just hover over the link to check what it is, it should show it in the bottom left of your browser. Also, if it wasnt actually part of gaia shouldnt the big "warning you are leaving gaia" thing have come up?  

[Hankitty]

That's the weird thing about it. It DIDN'T pop up! O-o;;  

[xxKiria-Kunxx]

Thanks for the "forced" jump into paranoia in clicking links...  

[Hankitty]

Well...I can only hope that this raises awareness, not so much paranoia. Just check the links before you click on them, which I clearly didn't. -_-

Never trust anyone on the internet. If you do your soul will be crushed. evil
