Subject: Someone is trying to Hack my account

Posted by: ODST27
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.

Well, it's just such a shame that something good can be turned into something bad (and you don't even have it Duardo). That happens quite a bit in our world, makes me ponder. Good luck Duardo, sounds like you are on top of things so good job.

It is so sad see people risking their freedoms for a video game armor (if they want it so bad, why don't they just hack there game and unlock it themselves, instead of our accounts?) < I know that semi promotes modding, but it is true.

Anyways to Duardo I recommend you change your Windows Live ID. I have had to do it once and things went smoothly. I have it linked to my same Gamertag, and it also changed here on Bnet. Without it they have nothing.

Freakin people with nothing better to do than hack someone because they think said person has recon. RECON SUCKS ANYWAY. I hope it all works out Duardo.

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.

QFT, I'd much rather have a full suit of ODST armor....that'd be awesome!

After years of work, millions of dollars on equipment and root beers, i have come to the ultimate solution to the Recon hacking problem.

DONT GIVE AWAY THE NAMES

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

I just wanted to add that the best security against a hack is to have a secure password -- be sure that it is as many characters long as you can remember, that it does not spell out an actual word, that it contains upper- and lower-case letters, at least one number, and at least one "special" character (such as a punctuation mark or similar). Be sure that you only use this password for WLID and no other site.

This doesn't help much against phishing, but it is at least a very good start.

this is the message I got when I tried signing in earlier. It was on here though.


I'm changing my password regularly now, and am trying to find that thread of CrypticGuardian's on how to change my WLID.

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

I hope all goes well Duardo. It would really suck for you, of all people, to have your account stolen. Especially sense you don't even have Recon.

Estne volumen in toga an solum tibi libet me videre?

Nothing suits me like a suit.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

l33t speak also works well with passwords, along with what Foman and Recon suggested.

Sorry man, wish there was more I could do than just suggest ways to keep a better password.

Just make sure every once and a while you change your password.

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
That's sad. I know it's putting you at risk and the thread needs to be deleted, but people can't even pay you a compliment without the morons of the internet abusing you in some way? What are these forums coming to?

That said, I believe you deserve reward too. I hope it works out for you.

Get a backup account and notify some Ninja's it is really yours. Then, if you do lose your account, you can inform us and we can act without hesitation and know what is going on.

I'm sorry to hear about this - losing control of your account is a scary moment.

I'll do that.

I'm on hold with Xbox to change my Live ID. Love the music. I heard Halo music at one point.

Edit: apparently I can't change the name of my email address without creating a new one...in which case I'd lose my profile on here. *sigh*

Ad Astra Per Aspera

Experienced In Life's Little Drama

The greatest tool for hackers is social engineering. I hope they don't man. I know Microsoft is finally addressing the problem, but they need to address it at a much quicker rate. Hopefully, it gets fixed soon, but it is probably going to be more like 6 months or more before we see any progress.

Until then, I would suggest changing your password often. Make it with numbers, CAPS, and lower case letters and make sure it is a decent length.

I figured as much. I'd just stick with Pezza's suggestion. Make an alt account and let someone know about it if it gets to the haxing stage. Good luck, Duardo.

Duardo...2?!...Yeah, but even so you would lose your mythic status. But it doesn't matter right.
