Hacked Computer
Matt D:
Mine appears to have been a brute force crack of a weak password (hotmail and xboxlive etc). It sounds like most of the others ITT are accounts that were hacked by a trojan keylogger.
ck1888:
Where are they getting the email addresses from ? Has an APAT account been hacked and getting our emails from that ? Is there a issue with the APAT Facebook page ? Going to remove APAT from my Facebook until we know more.
TightEnd:
huh? there"s no suggestion the problems emanated from APAT, or any other of the several online communities that link the various people in this thread
duke3016:
Think about it logically, just because a few APAT/Blonde people have been hacked will not point to it being a forum related problem. We are all friends with people who post on numerous forums and if any one of our friends on facebook have been hacked then the list of the hacked persons friends email addys will be available to the hacker. Changing passwords periodically (and making them "strong") and scanning regularly will of course reduce the risk of infection from whatever source significantly.
If you use Gmail activate the two step security login and apply application specific passwords to all your mobile apps that access gmail.
Matt D:
And don"t ever answer those seemingly harmless questions that do the rounds on forums/facebook etc, like: What is your pornstar name? (name of first pet, mother"s maiden name). That"s a phishers paradise! :D
