"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me."

Hi guys.

Someone is trying to hack (or crack) my account. I realized this at about 10 AM EST. I sent an email to my friend (in real life) Sword and Scales and told him about it. He posted this in my "Answers" thread and my "Member Title FAQ" thread. I replied with this:I'm not hacked yet (Thank God)...I need to call Xbox support.

Anyways, for some reason people have been assuming I have recon armor (which I don't...Sword knows). So someone send a msg to my MSN. I accepted. I assumed it was someone from the forums. Anyways, they said "Hi ____" (I'm not going to share my name on here). I said hi. We were having a conversation when they starting asking about Recon armor and how did I get it. I told them I don't have it, and I don't know how to get it. I told this person that someone killed himself with a cone, and another with his own sniper bullet. But I didn't know how to actually get it. They then asked how long my credit card number was....that's when i stopped.

I have since changed my password and will most likely change other things as well.

So if I ever start posting spam, it's not me.

-Duardo


That's basically my story. Just now though, I tried logging in and it said that I had tried too many times today trying to log in with my email address. I knew it was the hacker. It never takes me more than twice to log in (sometimes I miss a letter).

I'm going to call Xbox Support now, but I just wanted to let you guys know that if I start posting spam, it's not me.

-Duardo

P.S. I DON'T HAVE RECON ARMOR!!!

I'll keep my eye out for any changes on your account and on xbox live. He must think that the mythic members have recon. Seems that recon is becoming dangerous.

Just change password?
Also: Where did it say you had tried to log in too many times today?

Need help finding skulls, make sure to go here.

If I were you, I'd change every single password I have, even if it's not the same as your B.net one. Other than that, calling Customer Support seems to be the best way to go. I hope it all works out for you, and nothing bad happens.

I love the effect that some receivable geometry in a game has on people. Just love it, it really proves how low people are.

Well I'll will keep an eye on your account and hopefully you can find out who it is that is trying to hack you and then they can be punished by the Banhammer.

I did change it.

It said as I was signing in on here. It was in the gray box area where we all sign in. I had to re-input my password, then verify it with an image with letters.

  • 02.28.2008 2:27 PM PDT

U haz REc0N?!

I'm guessing that your account is completely tied to your email address or you could just completely change everything, yes? Do you display your email address on here or on MSN?

Good. You should also change similar passwords on other sites.

I did show my email address for a while, but then i hid it. Then i showed it again, and that's when (I guess) they contacted me. I've since hidden the email and won't give out this one again

Mines already hidden as I don't like random people adding me on msn. If people want it I just send them a private message. Well that was the good old days now i don't any Pm's . Sigh :(

Wow, you think he would be smarter than to directly ask you the length of your credit card number. It's pathetic that someone would go through all this trouble just for something that doesn't actually do anything, except change an in-game appearance. About the trouble logging in, I've been having some trouble as well, but I'm sure no one is hacking me. Maybe that part is just a glitch.

I would suggest that you have a different password for each of your profiles. One for your xbl account, and another for your msn/email.

Should we blame stosh for this?

Hopefully this all works out and nothing happens to your account. As long as you don't disclose much personal information then they shouldn't be able to social engineer your account.

Yeah. I just searched for my name on the forums and took out any info. beyond my first name.

I think this rumor that I have has something to do with this thread.

If a ninja is watching, could you delete that thread?? :D plz

Just call Xbox Support. They are aware of the situation. I had to confirm everything with them, and I changed some stuffs, so hopefully I'll be good.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

I swear, Bungie should just not give Recon armor to anyone. Isn't this like the 2nd or 3rd time recently that someone's account has been hacked for recon armor (or at least attempted)? It's really pathetic.

Ok that is scary, I can'r believe people would go to such lengths on just the suspicion of having a freaking armor perm.

Sorry to add to the thread you want to be deleted, but that sucks that these people are trying to get a freaking digital piece of armor by any means possible. Thank god you've hopefully dodged the chance of having your credit card/password stolen. Anyway, if you want to really have a good password, the GRC password generator(add s after http) is a great way to make sure your passwords are complicated and hard for anyone but you to know.
