Title: Someone accessed my account.
Post by: k4rts on March 29, 2013, 03:13 am
Just logged in and it says my pin has been locked for x amount of hours. My password is not easy; it's a long word I made up randomly several years ago. I changed my password obviously but I'm wondering how in the hell did somebody access my account? I did a quick scan with Malware bytes and nothing came up. What spyware/malware/anti-virus do you all use?

Have you ever been given a login page where it is asking for your PIN?  If so, you've been phished, and that's the only way I can imagine someone would have gotten access to your account.

Yeah, don't use the links that are on the hidden wiki, or else you get scammed

(I tried changing the hidden wiki myself but it keep on changing back... Spammers I guess?)

I have not used my pin in almost a year. Hell I probably don't even remember what it is. Even if this person guessed it I only have 1 coin sitting in my account that's been in there for..almost a year.

I have the SR address bookmarked in Tor. I know that's not the smart thing to do but it's not like I buy drugs from here anyways I just like to look lol.

Well, I'm glad the coin isn't missing!  After all, I'd imagine it has grown in value quite a lot if it's been in there for almost a year!  :)
