Firstly, partly your fault for having a crackable password.
No offence.
I could possibly try and crack this back for you, but it could take a long time.
I would have to use a 20+ password list and then there is still no gurantees.

Really sorry to hear that.
Why did it happen?
Weak password? Keylogger? (the second post answered my question)

As a last resort, you may try to contact the developer of this site. Tell them why the account is hacked. Give as much evidence as possible to prove your identity. Perhaps they may be willing to help you to get back your account.

Make sure you use strong passwords next time. Besides beware of computer security.

PS: You may wish to remove the sigs since it's no longer yours. Sad

Well, slim chance, frankly speaking.
He is a cracker. He knows the stuff.
He knows why this account is cracked successfully. Will he be so stupid to make the same mistake?
A strong password takes hundreds of years to crack. Brute-force approach is not going to work.

Fotum has abused the pupil scripts so i doubt MT would help, by abused i mean used at all :-p

I think Kiwiman should return people's Brutes, being demoted does not justify this. And everyone knows they were thinking it, someone needs to say it.

If your saying i stole fotum well your wrong.
The list of names i have are level 12 and lower.
Fotum was level 40+ if im correct?
Plus the names I have on my list are brutes that have been inactive for 4 weeks+

Next Time, be careful, buddy!
I think Maybe there is Spyware or adware lurking in your computer.....

Can't stress enough the need for a strong password. My brute with a simple password was stolen too, but luckily it was just a Lvl 12 test brute so I didn't really think anyone would bother.

Anyway, make sure it's a good enough password that takes a long time for brute force attacks.

Now i'm the best brute of the community .. lol.

Subject: Re: fotum has been hacked =( Fri 24 Apr 2009, 02:44

I thought you couldnt change your password.

Subject: Re: fotum has been hacked =( Fri 24 Apr 2009, 03:09

yeah he could change his pass but he just forgot to change it XD

Subject: Re: fotum has been hacked =( Fri 24 Apr 2009, 03:13

Omg!! Poor Fotum. Sad

Make this be a lesson to all of us. I'm sure most of us (Myself included) have weak passwords on our brutes... i mean, who would think that others would try and steal brutes... that's so low.

besides simple passwords.
make sure these cheat program and bots creating program that you download are free from spyware and keylog. If not your future brute will be compromise too.

Subject: Re: fotum has been hacked =( Sat 25 Apr 2009, 01:00

I might change it later, I'm still too low, and too pet'less for people to care. O_O

Aww should have made your password 12 characters and alpha-numeric

a little bit off-topic, but its related to changing password.

One of my brutes is quite nice, not very strong, but I think he worths keeping, and i wanna change the pw to a stronger one. yet i just cant find the change password button in the cell page, and i cant get to the set password page by adding "/setpass" at the back. does anyone know how to renew the password in such case?

Have you ever set (create) any password in the first place? If not, you probably missed the chance. It's too late now.
