Probably IRC. I am pretty fly, you know?
K. To see the problem, click "User CP" "Edit profile" "Change email/password"

You see? If we were to get hacked, our emails that our passwords reset to are RIGHT THERE. If they know the email they need to get ahold of, I'm pretty sure they'd go for that, and NOT a different MSN. Hackers look for long-term accounts. Accounts they can use to scam, ALOT, over a long period of time. It's common sense.

Hide your email that your password resets to. If it's hidden, and you get hacked, what can they do? Keep your account for like 20 minutes? If it's hacked, and so is the email, it's basically 100% gone unless you can get it banned quickly, AND THAN convince them that your email got hacked and you're the original owner.

Just hide your reset-password email.
 
Easier solution. Dont use the same email.

Hi Natalia.

And it's common knowledge to not use the same registering email for personal use.

Err, heres the thing. If someone can hack your sythe account-which is easy- people can use certain things to get your IP, the city/state you live in, which makes your email recoverable. If your email can be hacked just as easily as your sythe account, than I think you should have some sort of backup plan, so they can't get total access to your account. Or, they could just change the email....

I changed the email on there a long time ago, just after Sigex hacked me. If you're worried about security, just create a different email and use that instead.

I never use my registration email for my personal use. My registration email is now deleted, and there is no way for the hacker to get access to my my account unless they actually hack my account.

K, but Sigex also has a program that actually got all the info I used to register my email. If he wanted, he could hack my email RIGHT now.

I think this is a threat.

Make a new email that he doesn't have access too. Best if it's not a live/hotmail one...

He could recover any live/hotmail one. If he knows ip, and name he can basically recover it.

This is why I said to not create a live or hotmail one. I'm not sure if the same vulnerabilities are there with gmail or other webmail providers.

That is why I used a fake name and location. It is almost impossible for him to hack my account.
 
Err, that would be idiotic. People would notice if a mod was hacked. I'm guessing he targets old retired gold sellers, who are trusted/well known and vouched.

It's what he did with Fire Ant X.
 
Actually, no it wouldn't be idiotic. because he could hack a mod/admin. and easily go into to markets and scam the biggest of trades.

This coming from a person with their sythe name same as rs name? C'mon we arent that dumb, you know very little if anything.
 
When you created your sythe account were you not given the choice to hide your email from other members? be carefull not to post it anywhere and you will be alright
