Worried

Is it possible to be hacked if you just go to a website?

I thought it wasn't possible as long as you don't download anything, but my friend was telling me you can get hacked simpily by visiting a website?

Is that true? And if it is, what should I do? Just change my password?

Well not hacked, but you can get keylogged via automaticly downloading cookies but aslong as u down visit dodgy sites like freehabbocreds.tk (just an example) you should be alright.

My msn got hacked recently (no idea how, since I don't visit any dodgy websites) and they got hold of my password for one of the sites that I own.

I went on that website, and saw that they had changed everything on it. I'm worried that they may have also added something on it which makes it possible to hack my habbo account?

I don't even know if that's possible, so I'm just wondering if I should change my password. Because my msn got hacked as well, and I've never visited any dodgy sites.

Scan your computer using an anti-virus see if you've got a keylogger :P and yea change msn pw, but yea im no expert on this btw so...

I scanned my computer recently, and there's nothing.
I also can't get back on my msn at the moment, since they changed my secret question etc.

Thanks a lot for your help, I was just a bit worried if I could get hacked by visiting the site.

iam afraid you can get hacked if you read that thread that was very importent you would know about it iam sorry but i carnt find a link for it

[MJJ]

Ok, so what should I do?

Just change my password?

[-Nick]

yes i would if i was you

change your pw using on screen keyboard

(start>all programs>accessories>accessibility>on screen keyboard) :D

Another easy thing is changing passwords every nown and then, just to be on the safe side.

Yes, even if you feel somebody has got hold of your account with the slightest thing, change your pw and scan your pc and you should be alright. For now, create a new msn account with a differant pw untill you get hold of the other account again. Also, i think people can find your pw to all your accounts if they find your IP am i wrong?

Use KL-Detector to search for keyloggers aswell (Google it, its free).

change your pw using on screen keyboard

On screen keyboard can still be logged. Loggers save/ record information typed into text fields


Amy what WAS the site you visited? PM me

Im telling you that you wouldn't have gotten infected by simply visiting the site and not accepting anything.

At most they can get your Java id with the new exploit but that's it..


download ad-aware anyway, best free anti-malware program out there - http://www.lavasoft.com/single/trialpay.php

Yeah I've already scanned my computer.

Weird thing is, they managed to hack one of my clones which has the same email address as my main account? :S

[Prebbo]

I suggest typing in your password(s) with an on screen keyboard, so if you are keylogged, you won't have to type on the keys to enter your information

[MJJ]

I don't have a keylogger, because I didn't download anything, and I have already scanned my computer.

I am just worried about one of my other habbo accounts, which has the same email address as my main account, which has been hacked.
I'm slightly worried that my main account may be hacked now..

What anti-virus do you use? Because, things like Mcaffee, etc don't pick anything up.
