friendster trauma

[edzzz]

me thinks this is a hoax. Before you change a password it will ask for the old password then the new one. Meaning how can the hacker change your password without knowing your old one?

Anyways, goodluck for rebuilding your friendship.

kagaya ng sinabi ng iba, contact friendster and have your account closed.

Get a new email account from a different provider. Kung ang nahack mong account ay yahoo mail, wag ka kukuha sa yahoo again kasi chances are baka may kakilala iyong may galit sa iyo na support ng yahoo at pinareset iyong password doon sa kakilala. Kwento lang ito sa akin ng isa kong kakilala na nagwowork sa isang BPO company. Nangyayari daw talaga ito lalong lalo na iyong mga trabaho na pagsupport ng email account ay inooffshore na sa mga 3rd world countries kagaya ng Pilipinas.

There is more to life than friendster. you can inform your ka-friendsters about it anytime naman.

...pero kung ako ikaw, i'll hunt for the guy who hacked you para maiwasan mo na sya at hindi na maulit pa ang pangyayari. start with the person whom your old friendster account's email is directed...hindi kasi ganun kadali magpalit ng email sa friendster. maraming passwords involved... plus i believe friendster will generate an approval mail that will be sent to the newly elected email.

I was in your shoes exactly 3 years ago. Then I made another friendster account and that got hacked too. Then my old accounts sent threatening messages to my gf pa. The my multiply got hacked too.

I'm not pointing any fingers but this was right after a bad breakup.

Here's what I did. I forgot all about it. Not having friendster simplified my life, I didnt lose anything and the people who matter the most to me or who know me best know its not me. The old acquaintances and high school buddies, I can always get in touch with them personally if I wanted. Forget about it. Walk away.

btw, i tried to recover my hacked email account kaya lang i forgot the details that i wrote in the application. i even wrote a different birthday and other personal details.

that's another lesson that i've learned.. to write the correct datas and personal details, so, if ever you forgot your password, you can easily retrieve it.

after that incident, my friends and siblings changed all their passwords..

PLEASE dont write your true bio datas especially if you use the account for friendster,filipinofriendfinder etc.Most of the time people use their birthdate as their password by using your birthdate as a password your account is easily be hack or open by people who knows you.May be the one who open & use your account in friendster has a goodknowledge about your personal data.There is no need to use or put your true bio datas in some internet sites like friendster.

Matagal na akong walang tiwala sa mga memory-resident programs like YM, Friendster, etc. Kung yung regular dial-ups nga madaling i-hack eh (there's actually SOFTWARE for this), yun pa?

[eVo-XTreme]

The best way to prevent hackers getting onto your friendster account is that use a STRONG password... and remember to click the LOGOUT button once you're done using Friendster, or else... kahit iclose mo yan nakaLOGin ka pa din (depends on ur internet browser setting). Kaya siguro nahack Friendster mo... madalas kasi yan ang nagiging cause ng mga hack sa Friendster yung hindi pagclick ng LOGOUT.

Friendster need more room for improvements especially with their member's SECURITY and CONFIDENTIALITY! And sa mga Friendster users, myspace users etc... don't put too much information about yourself... mamaya puntahan pa kayo sa bahay ng nagbbrowse ng profile nyo mayari kayo. Hehe!

Just my 2 cents..Ever heard of keylogger? or key logging? It's a software (or hardware) that records the keystroke entries you make on a computer. It's use vary from good ( monitor employee productivity on clerical task) to bad (spying or obtaing passwords / usernames for hacking etc). I've used software keylogger a few times, although i won't specify for what purpose...hehehe..anyways, the particular software I used (maraming klase eh, i google nyo na lang) targets entries of usernames and passwords specifically. So it doesn't log other types entries. So the log file (anyname.txt) size is quite small.
It's quite easy to install, and to mask..masking makes it harder to detect. A kernel based keylogger is the most difficult to detect. It can run in the background or stay idle until there are any request for usernames and passwords. In the wrong hands, this is very bad. Be wary of computers rental shops that allow full administrator access to users. Anybody can install the keylogger, and retrieve the data you typed on the computer after you use it to access your email or other online accounts.
Myself I try to stay away from those kind of rental shops, but if i can't i check beforehand if there are any suspicious running software or services and disable or shut it down. Can't tell you exactly what to look for, but the experience of using that kind of software, has taught me a thing or two. May software din naman pang detect, but not for all cases.. Heads up lang for everybody, especially the threadstarter. Baka this was the way your username and password was collected. Sorry for the long post

Pag open ko ng Friendster dito nung isang araw, account ng ibang tao yung nakadisplay. Naka-log in pa. Eh wala naman gumagamit ng friendster dito. My brother, yes, but he's living in an apartment near school so wala talagang gumagamit ng Friendster dito that time.

Na-access ko lahat ng features ng account nung unknown user. Hindi ko na lang ginalaw. Nilog-out ko na lang...

[Lucius]

Baka yung boy nyo jan bro ang owner nung account. Tapos picture ng mga artista nilagay hehehe

eto yun sinasabi ko. di na kailangan ng kung anu-anong hocus-pocus. lahat ng web browser eh may tinatawag na cookies. sa cookies na to naka-save lahat ng ginawa mo sa isang site. as in pati yun pag-log-in mo at pag-provide ng info. kahit i-close mo lahat ng programs at patayin ang pc, pagbalik mo sa site na yun eh auto-fillup na yun. all you need to do is click mo yun username na box at makikita mo lahat ng nag-log in na accounts. minsan nakasave din yun password so kelangan na lang click yun log in button

na-hack na kagad acct mo ng walang ka-hirap hirap so para sure ka eh clear mo lagi cookies saka delete mo history para di rin makita kung anong site ka nagvisit

Personally, I don't think a "real hacker" would waste his time pretending to be you and ruin your reputation. Maybe you forgot to log out and subsequent user close to you used it for prank purposes. Real Hackers have more important and significant things to do with his time.
