yeah, sorry, that was a slight ovvereaction.

also, it WASN'T ME.

why do you think i changed it?

[Luckk]

I know, I was meaning that when I first saw it before you changed it.

[Vester]

I was mulling over reporting it when I first saw the post, then I realized that I'd seen your posts before, and you struck me as "sane".

So I waited for it to be fixed by some other agency.

EDIT: As it turns out, I missed a whole word, making my initial reply functionally useless. It is now corrected.

[Jakkarra]

Thank you vester.

see? this is the sort of response i would have expected.

not "Lolnoob"

[Cthulhu]

Aww, I missed it.

[Winterbrass]

Thank you vester.

Well, really. The likelihood of Toady's server being compromised just so someone could access a user's account, as opposed to Toady's own account is extremely unlikely.

In either case, no, I was not especially harsh. 'Hacking versus cracking' is one of my pet peeves.

If Toady's server wasn't compromised, then it was something you did, either intentionally or unintentionally - and in that case, no sympathy. If Toady's server was compromised, I apologise. But only in that case.

How was the post?
I've not seen it.

[Vester]

I will not repeat its contents, suffice to say it was odd. Why do you want to know, IWM?

(It was actually kinda funny, since I didn't know there were that many synonyms for 'that', but let's not go there.)

[Jakkarra]

winterbass, just leave it out.

i have not given my details to any person. be it intentionally nor By error.

stop trying to make me look stupid.

oh, and you could have simply said "cracking is what has happened to you jakkarra, hacking is something a bit different." i would have actually been pleased if that'd been said. i LIKE knowing stuff. i don't like being talked down upon.

Oh, just a THIRST for KNOWLEDGE, like usual.

Just PM me.

This isn't harsh?

Only people who shouldn't be permitted to have internet access would call password-cracking 'hacking'.

 

But, moving on: This exact thing happened to me a year ago. I almost lost money because of it.

Not really, but whatever.

[Zironic]

Yeah. I find it irony, in that most hacker are actually script kiddies. I knew this kid who kept saying he was hacking maple story. In actuality, he was using a program written by some one else.

[qwertyuiopas]

hacker != script kiddy.

If anything, writing their own programs is the only thing that would qualify them for the term "hacker", not what they do with the tools they got elsewhere.

[Armok]

I'm joining in whit another raging voice! Hacker != cracker! 

[Buddybud]

hmmm....seems to me this would fall under "fishing" rather then "hacking" or "cracking"....... but it still sucks. How did you solve the problem anyway?
