YM hacker on the loose, i was a victim

[awing]

Two days ago I was victimized by a Hacker(he used the account of my friend) through chatting in YM. We chatted for awhile without my knowledge that I am falling to a certain hacker or we can say spammer. It all started that he just popped out and hurriedly ask for 10pcs of Globe and another 10pcs of Smart Load with 500 each. He will sell it to fellow Filipinos(he is working in abroad) with roaming cellphone numbers, he get the profit almost double the amount. Since he will take his vacation by next month, he needs an extra money to spend. Over my surprise I immediately answered my friend(hacker) and told him that its okey since I trusted him. I give him my bank account for him to pay me(International Bank), as what we agreed upon. I told him that I will buy the Cards tomorrow since it is already late here in the Phils.

The next day, I bought half of the quantity since I only have that amount in my pocket when I went to the mall and i don't waste any time to look for an ATM to withdraw since I was in a hurry. As I arrived at the Hotel(where I stays) I immediately buzz him and told him that I have the cards already. He don't reply so I waited and after an hour he buzzed me. I right away wrote all the numbers of the cards as we chatted. I even make a joke to pay me right away since I am on vacation and I don't have much money remaining and he answered me "NP bro...ako pa".

The following day, as I browsed in our website , I read a thread started by my friend(hacker) that his Yahoo Account was Hacked!. I was surprised and what came in my mind right away was the Cards. I read all the replies in that thread and confirmed that I was a victim. Some of my friend were almost victimized as well.

Today, he texted me and asked for the remaining cards. I think this is a Trap, I have his cellphone number but I dunno what I will do. I am staying here in Cebu by the way.


Fellow Tsikoteers ingat na lang po baka kayo ang susunod.

here is the number:

09268813550[/SIZE]

When I tried to call this number, it is always switched off.

medyo hindi ko ma-gets bro....

a) yung friend mo yung hacker?
b) overseas sya? if overseas sya, bakit local yung number?

[AeonBlaire]

Na-hack po ung account nung TS, so it means nalaman nung hacker ung username and password sa YM nung friend ng TS.

I suggest to talk with your friend personally, or thru a "personal number" that you know for sure is his. Then confirm.

medyo malabo nga yung kuwento pero i think ang na-hacked na ym account is yung friend ni TS. then binigyan nya ng call cards to think na friend nya yung kausap nya...tapos yun pala, nagoyo sya.

lesson learn, wag magtiwala sa chat/ym messages.

The post of the TS was clear. Somebody hacked the YM of the friend of the TS and asked for cellphone loads.

Ang tanong ko sa TS, it was stated that he found out that the YM of his friend was hacked only through a website? Did you try to confirm this by talking to your friend? There's a slight chance that he was actually the one who requested for the cellphone loads and pretended that his YM account was hacked so he'll have the cellphone loads for free.

Mga Sirs, pasencya na at medyo malabo yung story ko.

Sir Boybi is right. The account of my friend was hacked; Yahoo mail, YM, and even his Friendster account. This so called Hacker is the one using his account now. The YM is active as of the moment so yung mga contacts ng friend ko ay di alam na somebody na pala is using it. BUT good move ng friend, he spread the news thru sa isang website (www.3dpinoy.com) which is most of the members are listed on his YM din.

This evening again this hacker is texting to remind na yung kulang ko daw na cards kasi nagpromise me sa kanya na now ko ibigay. First reply, I played and make some story na naubusan na ako ng pera and pls pay me first from the First 10 Cards that I already sent him. He said that tom pa daw cya magbayad and kahit 5 cards na lang daw muna. Natatawa na alng ako and I replied na ok later na lang. After 2 hrs, nagtext na naman to remind me. Naubos na cguro pasecnya ko and texted him/her to better watch out na lang, pulis is tracking you!!. Ayun di na nagtext.

Thank you na lang yung 5K ko.

Some of my friends advised me to call XXX or 211 but I am hesitant since this will just hassle my vacation here, I will be leaving na rin after 2 weeks.

thanks for the info. charge to experience na lang, dapat wag talaga magtiwala agad-agad. dapat tinawagan mo yung friend mo o kaya sya ang pinatawag mo para sana nalaman mo kung talagang sya ba yun o hindi. mahirap talaga magtiwala kung sa chat lang or sa email lang kayo naguusap lalo na at may pera na involved..

[drag_addict]

ako rin na -hack ung YM account ko! e di naman ako nag cacafe. chineck ko na rin kung may key logger waaah...

baka gnun rin style nanghihingi na rin ng SIM hahahahahaha...

[brawlerjack]

sana i report ninyo sa mobile provider or ntc para ma block yung sim and bka ma trace pa nila kung tigasan yung nanloko sayo. tagal ng MO yung ganito. yung binalita nga sa tv halaga pa ng laptop pa yung nakuha sa kanya.

guys one way para makuha ng mga mandarambong na to ang mga yahoo account nyo is by sending you with this certain email or PM sa YM (gamit na nya is yung email/account na nahack nya which nandun kayo sa contacts) na may link at pinapacheck nya yung photo nya sa inyo. so since email yun ng friend nyo magtitiwala kayong ifollow yung link, this link will open just like the login site ng yahoo mail. so akala nyo within sa yahoo yung photo at need nyo talaga maglogin. enter nyo yung username nyo at yung password, akala nyo you are actually logging into your account which in fact with some server-side scripting na forward na sa hacker yung username and password nyo, after this you will be redirected to the real yahoo mail site which aakalain nyo na nagkamali lang kayo ng pagenter ng username or password at di kayo maghihinala. after makuha ng hacker yung username and password nyo maglalogin sya at babaguhin ang password at all info necessary para marecover nyo yung password nyo (secondary email, validation question, etc). in the end di na kayo makakalogin sa account nyo at sya na ang magoonline sa YM nyo at gagawin na nga nya ang MO na to.

FYI po. sana di kayo naguluhan sa explanation ko

here is a real working example, gumagana to mga bro HUWAG kayo maglalogin!!!

I dont have a contact number of that friend of mine since he is working from another country and we knew each other from our site lang. It is one of my weakness na madaling magtiwala.

Exactly the same yung nangyari sa account ng friend ko.

Marami nang nangyayaring ganyan. My classmates from college have had their YM accounts hacked into also.

Moral of the story is: change your passwords regularly. And make it VERY HARD to guess. Ideally, in your password, you should be using a combination of three of the four character types:

1) lowercase letters
2) uppercase letters
3) numbers
4) special characters

Data security is a big concern in my line of work, and applying some of those lessons (like the password-changing thing I've shared) is useful even in personal non-work situations.

etong mga kostumer ko kumbinasyon ng alt+number, letter, number ang mga password nila

When you're hooked here, - even the regular changing of the password, together with the uppercase, lowercase, special character, number-scheme will not work....

Be very very careful and sure about the site you're in or accessing.....

yup! the identity thief doesn't have to guess or brute force hack your account to get your password with this technique. just make sure before logging into your account that the URL is legitimate

[wildthing]

i'm afraid to say that the TS was really "gullibly friendly" (pun intented).... obvious naman ang MO pagpera ang involve.

peace

[flex]

I also had this same experience...buti na lng medyo listo hehehe

kaya lesson #1 be very cautious when dealing sa net...coz you never see the person your talking to...

[shadow]

tingin most of the time ang mag nabibiktima nito is yun mga mahilig makipag chat sa mga hinde nila kilala, I mean people who they just meet in the net and mag chat na online...

and I think this is the reason why yahoo have the sign-in seal to prevent stuff like this...
