People get hacked .. but how?

[birdy ftw]

I got hacked because i had staked a dude and stole like 40m from him, then he says lol and logs then i got an msn message to a site i went to it thinking non the wiser and it looked like any other porn site so i started to dl one thing then a popup comes and says gj pervert, Your fucked gg noob.
So i immediatly got rid of it but because of es and me having my pw in it i got owned faster then i could delete it...

lmfao that sucks but I'm laughing my rear off.

stuff like that is common though, sites that look rs related and may have a download option with a keylogger attached, , or a "create a forum username" kind of thing that will hope you use the same password.

I'd say usually its somebody you know and its usually partially your own stupidity that gets you hacked.

Keyloggers
Phishing sites

You don't get the point.

If someone "Hacks you" ie; Keyloggs you, your 18 letter password will not help you at ALL.

If you type it somewhere, ie; Phishing site, it will not help you at ALL.

If someone tries to password crack you (which is genuinely dead...) they will have a tough time.
