Uhh I just got hacked

Post by EMHAL »

omg I just logged into my EMHAL account and I noticed someone used all my PT and lots of my money.
This includes the purchase of 17 decorations and 10 AC Arabian/NAB horses!
My PT is at 0 and I think I had a couple hundred.
I think someone used 50-600k depending on what I started at this morning.
Someone rehomed my horse which I have no idea which one it was since I can't look at a rehomed horse.
Take a look at my farm to see all the decorations that were purchased.
I'm just glad the horse that I was training for someone isn't gone and none of my turns are gone.
Like, wth peoples? This makes me incredibly mad.
I won't rehome the purchased Arabians so I can prove to admin what has happened.
The last time I remember playing was 9:34 a.m New York Time.
The attack occurred at 12:13 p.m and I can tell because that's when the purchases happened.
I'm not on the "untrustworthy" list of players and I have no idea why I was the target.
Also, my mare was bought for $1 after someone posted her for sale.
RobinJongKind bought her and I don't blame them for taking the deal.
Here are each of the Arabians/NABS Purchased:

Ughh, I'm so sorry that happened :(. People are so wrong by doing this to others. Has anybody gotten into an argument lately with you? Shared your password with anyone? But I hope you can restore your farm back to the way it was

As is always suggested, immediately change your password.
Also, could it be somebody in your house? Were you connected to a public connection? Did you remember to log out? These can help narrow the culprits as well.

If you have still, you can look through your internet history and check it against the horses you have. My history will name the horse of the horse's profile I visit. So if there's a missing horse's name in your account that shows up in your history, make note of the name and then click on the history to go to the page, to see if it's now a rehomed horse.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Hopefully you can get it cleaned back up without too much hassle. Let us know!

Aw, man :/

Hacking is never okay, even if it was a friend or a sibling. PT is precious and isn't earned that quickly, I'm so sorry you lost that much, especially when you could've bought something better than AC horses.

As BlackOak2 said, immediately change your password so the hacker cannot get back on/information will not be shared.

Remember that hackers target the unsuspecting. The ones that appear to be weaker and most likely not properly protected.

If you are open to it, I am willing to donate you 600k. After that, sure, I'll only have around 66k, but that's more than enough to survive on. Besides, I don't want to tempt myself to go on any spending sprees ^^'

I think I've been hacked... Once? With an incident regarding a player named Byeyall. Still remember it. I refused to sell a horse to them, so they blacklisted and threatened me before hacking onto my account (Mind you I was younger then so it was an extremely easy password) and stealing the said horse they wanted. As I said, I was younger then and have since been more cautious with my passwords and alerting admins. I wouldn't bother reporting them; They haven't been on in a while, though they were on years after since they stole my horse.

Anyway-

Be safe out there :) Remember that hackers target anybody, so always be on the lookout ;)
