I think I've been hacked
Zilboy - 23/3/09 at 11:03 PM

Can't log into my account.

Says wrong password.
Click the change password link and it tells me I have the wrong email address.

I have both right.

Any ideas anyone ?

P.S. This is my spare locostbuilders identity you might possibly guess my other identity at a wild guess

So - which account would that be... the locostbuilders account?

Just use the new one... if someone has hacked it I wouldn't worry so much - it's not like you're performing money transfers...

Have you sent a U2U to Fozzie to see if she can help?

hmm, seems a couple of people had this tonight. maybe just some kind of log in error rather than hacking?


StevenB - 23/3/09 at 11:52 PM

Me too.
Fossie sorted.
Big thanks.
I upgraded to AVG8.5
immediately on switching on tonight
then went to log in and couldnt.
Probably just coincidence??????

Fozzie - 24/3/09 at 12:00 AM

Hmmmm...
Well I've sorted out the 4 that I know of....and you are all very welcome!......

I have left a message for chrisw to check the 'dark-side' of the site........just in case.......but from the little that I can see, I can't see anything obvious ......

Relevant?
My Avast updated tonight?

A lot of key logger trojans about just now --- the latest version of Avira Premium on our main Windows PC seems to be catching a lot in emails.
Interestingly I did a fresh install of AOL 9 on a clients computer and the AOL CD was infected !

My Avast updated last night, and I have not had problems.

I did nothing to my account or pc before I got locked out, and also tried accessing from different PC's and browsers. None of which worked. Deffo an issue at the server end somewhere.

Very odd though....

Good luck finding the problem!

Big thanks fozzie.


Mine went t*ts up after an avast update as well.


zilspeed - 24/3/09 at 04:41 PM

I use AVG at this end and it updates every time I log on and there's an update available.

I'm sort of glad I mentioned this publicly now


davie h - 24/3/09 at 08:12 PM

me to locked out last night

thanks Fozzie

Davie


big_wasa - 24/3/09 at 09:28 PM

Yep locked out aswell

Sorted now thanks Fozzie


paul the 6th - 25/3/09 at 10:43 AM

the internet pixie's hacked my account as well but I'm back (sorry for the inconvenience )


paul the 6th - 25/3/09 at 10:44 AM

no avast or avg updates or ANYTHING changed on my system... even got blocked off on my iPhone so I'm guessing it's LCB side of things rather than my system?


Michael - 25/3/09 at 09:15 PM

I have been reallocated.

Thanks Fozzie


woodster - 26/3/09 at 10:10 AM

Macbeast - 26/3/09 at 12:19 PM

Fozzie - 26/3/09 at 12:29 PM

You are all very welcome!

Darn those pesky pixies from the 'dark-side'....little critters!
