meichells Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 OK, why would someone be so mean as to hack into such a fun site and steal someone's account? I spent 4 years building up my NP's and my items in my SDB and someone hacked my password and in the week it took neopets to freeze my account and give it back to me the person stole my almost 5,000 NPs and quite a few things from my SDB including my codestones. And there's nothing I can do to get it all back. Too bad, so sad....that's just not right! there should be SOME way to track it! Granted I know nothing about computers and internet stuff but I would think that neopets would keep some record of when things are transferred from one account to another and would be able to follow the items that were moved. Or there should be a way to do it! And to the person who stole my stuff, if you should happen to read this in between STEALING from people, SHAME ON YOU! Sorry for the rant, but this is the only place I can rant about it. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekabee Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Think of it this way it could have been a lot more then 5k stolen, and they didn't sell your pets. And nps and codestones are easy to reearn. But yeah it is a stroke of bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadaw the Rampage Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 could be worse, you could have had a paintbrush gallery and had it stollen {no that didnt happen to me just stateing a thought} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I know how if feels....imagine someone stealing 9 million neopoints from your bank with a PIN set up :( Still re-earning sadly...I did managed to get around 2 million thanks to a lot of kind friends =D Luckily that person didn't take my pets :) Sorry that happened to you though :( My account got frozen for a week too and TNT didn't help to return my neopoints.

Fardreamer Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Same just happened to me... I had a pin but I had bid on a baby pb, when they hacked me, they either cancelled the auction or it got rejected and they just took all 600,000 np. Nothing they could do of course, thats why we have pins in the first place. But I do agree, they SHOULD be able to track it, but even then, they could route it through unwary sellers or something.

flyingeevee Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Kinda sad if even the pins don't work you know :( I feel so unsafe and cheated...why can't TNT return people's stuff if they can probably track down stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Same just happened to me...

Nothing they could do of course, thats why we have pins in the first place. But I do agree, they SHOULD be able to track it, but even then, they could route it through unwary sellers or something. This is sort of a common glitch with the trading post. If they reject the trade sometimes the pure np that was put up disappears. The owner of the item doesn't get the np and the person who put up the np doesn't get it back. Sorry it happened to you though. I try to neomail the person first to make sure that they always accept the offer to avoid this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meichells Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 I didn't add enough 0's....it's was nearly five MILLION....and yeah, I had some paintbrushes stolen too....Several of them. The only ones they didn't steal were the starter ones that you can't steal....I had a pin on my bank and everything.....I totally think they should be able to track it but personally believe that they just don't want to go to the effort. I WAS going to do a premium account but have changed my mind about that now. And I'm not going to buy anymore NC cards either! Why should I spend more of my hard earned money when they won't do anything to make it right when something like this happens? It would have been one thing if I'd been dumb enough to try one of those "make NP's fast" scams.....but I didn't. This was someone who hacked my account without any help from me.....It just makes me so mad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midookami Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'm sorry to hear that... I was talking to my neofriend just now and she got hacked recently, too. Some people just want to spoil things for everybody... Though why you would want to hack neopets, of all sites, is beyond my understanding.

Roaming Phantom Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'm sorry to hear such things.. Yeah, for me, it's a game, duh... Don't do such evil deed, please... I recall, I ever play neopets when I was about 5th grade.. I don't know, but by that time, neopets which is not 'too wide known' being so peaceful and all.. I don't mean to say noepets nowadays are bad or something.. The bad one are those hackers... DX Come on, we play for fun... Don't steal others.. If you want to have those NPs, please work by yourself... It's not easy to gain such things, but it's not that hard too... Stealing is bad, that's all.. I never got hacked, but if those kind of thing happened... I'm sure I really mad and all to that person.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovedwallflower Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 ugh hackers are just so sad.. you must be at a real low point in your life when you feel good about stealing virtual things pfft. but in the other hand, look on the bright side: pets are ok and not a lot money was stolen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 My fiance thinks a keylogger got on mine since my passy and PIN were seriously not easy to anyone but me to figure out. Because a cookie grabber can't detect pins from what I heard and most hackers aren't all "bad" from what I read Don't know much about keyloggers but that's what he said =/ True...why neopets of all places when it's the place to escape real problems, not add on.

Yomiko Emmerich Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I'm sorry to hear that you had it happen to you. I also got my account recently broken into. I lost over 10 million points, most of the stuff in my sdb and my shop though my gallery was left untouched for some reason. Then the person self froze the account. Thankfully my pets were ok and after sending quite a few messages to neo, I got my account unfrozen. Sadly no points were returned but I'm slowly rebuilding. I think it's stupid of people to waste their time trying to get into someone's account but what can you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie * Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I'm really sorry to hear about how that happened, but really think about it. He only took 5,000 neopoints and a few codestones. That can be rebuilt in a day or two. You should consider yourself lucky they didn't take more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 That really does stink but like others said it could've been much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempdisplay Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 could be worse, you could have had a paintbrush gallery and had it stollen {no that didnt happen to me just stateing a thought} ***** Shriek! On to topic: Oh poor you! I'm so sorry, when it happened to me, I they didn't still too much, only 4 out of my 5 mil, they left my pets and I didn't start my PB gallery yet (I think) I'm SOOOO sorry :( Also I communicated with the Hacker, I wish I still could for some reason, I'm thinking we could still be friends :S Weird I know. I'm incredible sorry, just to add again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should consider yourself lucky they didn't take more. it wasn't just 5,000....i didn't add enough 0's....it was 5,000,000....and i had several paintbrushes stolen too....i didn't think to look at those until someone mentioned it....i had so much stuff in there i'll prolly never know what all was stolen. i think they stole some neggs too. but, at least they didn't get my NC items. they opened the NC freebie goodie bags that i was never gonna open, though....rotten so and so.....i guess some people just can't help but be jerks.when you stop and think about it, it's really sad...i'm an adult, but i could have been a little kid, since most of the players on here are little kids. how low do you have to be to steal from anyone but esp kids.....makes me mad and also sad for the losers that do this kind of thing....

Buggy25 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Well, I personally have never been hacked so I count myself lucky...I have heard of people who have been, that really sucks, but try restocking for your codestones, some people sell them really cheap.
