☢ How to prevent getting hacked the way I did,

[Joshua16 780]

Hello all, recently you probably all noticed I have been hacked and I recovered some days ago, but it wasn't an easy process at all to recover my account. I am going to tell you what to do prevent it and if your hacked what to do.

 

How to prevent this?

 

Don't EVER download suspicious files on skype. If you think it's a picture and you want to take that risk make sure its JPG and not EXE, so if its goldbox.exe, it is not a picture but a program, but if its goldbox.JPG its not a program. I still wouldnt take the risk of downloading anything anyone gives you from skype, as a virus can be attached to anything. 

 

How did I get hacked?

 

This indeed was a VERY long process (20 days), it all happened July 12 when a suspicious person told me that he had a skype ad on that would improve my skype expericene, and I was stupid enough to download it and I had my antivirus disabled, so it got on my PC.

 

What affects do you get when you get hacked?

 

For this it was a good many things, it was a keylogger so anything I signed into got hacked, the only thing that never got hacked was my skype and gmail,( my gmail blocked the IP from entering) but my TO account, my credit card, my itunes, my paypal account and my hotmail got hacked, thankful all of which i recovered,

 

What was the process of recovering your TO account?

 

For me it was a long process I had to get my account recovered twice, the first time my account recovered I got hacked right away again because the keylogger was still on my PC, if you ever get hacked DO NOT link it to the same email as my email was hacked at the time, the second timei recovered my account I linked it to another email, but TO decided to get lazy on me the secnod time i tried to recover and didnt answer for 8 days, so I pmed yele and she got me help the same day and i recovered on the same day,

 

What his the hackers skype name?

 

There are two that i know of, Zouz Shelby and N.I.

 

How to get rid of the virus?

 

It is not easy uninstalling it because you can manually do it, you should run an antivirus sweep and if you dont have antivirus make another user on your PC, that will ensure your rid of the keylogger, or you can contact and edpert if all else fails.

 

 

So long story short, NEVER donwload suspicius things.

Topics like this should be pinned or something. :P

Or at least kept somewhere as an example of what you should do if you ever get hacked. . . .

 

But dang. Keyloggers? Sounds scary to deal with. :wacko:

Though never download things random people send to you, no matter what they claim.

Common sense?, for many people keyloggers hasnt even been heard of, and they have no idea how simple it can be downloaded and disguised, so if you have nothing constructive or positive to say please dont post )))

Keyloggers can be attched to other files, so like as i said, not common sense.

[Klankill804 753]

What's a keylogger? :\

[Joshua16 780]

Exactly, my point canadarules^

 

A keylogger is a virus that hides itself on your PC and sends all your information, eg: credit card numbers, passwords to things to the hacker.

[Klankill804 753]

Oh ok

[shadewarttt 3,350]

Lol no. Keyloggers just sends it's maker all the sequence of data sent to computer via keyboard. It's upto the hacker to acquire the info from that data.
