OK. So I click the "ask me my question"... and get this. I'm Australian right... and guess what the question is now? "where is wangxiang" I don't know where the fark wangxiang is!

I feel sympathy for you, but that made me laugh out loud for some reason  Cheesy.

MODS - Can anyone help?

It will be dead obvious that my account (ibfragalot) has been stolen and changed suddenly. The email address would have changed from my real email [message me for it ] to some other weird chinese address , AND my password reset, AND my password help question would have changed. Perhaps other stuff too.

EDIT: Oh and yes, the IP accessing it would also have changed from Australia since I joined, now to China I'd assume.

I DON'T want to know what he's doing/saying in my name.... Luckily no useful information in my account...I think? Crikey...



Mods can't see any of that so we can't help/verify. Get thee to theymos, but don't waste his time, read that thread and send him everything he needs in one pm to increase your chances of a response.

Details:

Seriously can't believe this. I just went to login and I got password incorrect. OK, wait 45secs, try again. Nope... WTF! This is my standard password for non-high security stuff (my first mistake) but I have used it before on a pool or two (my second mistake).

So I think OK... try to get it to email me - don't receive it. They've changed the email address!!!

OK. So I click the "ask me my question"... and get this. I'm Australian right... and guess what the question is now? "where is wangxiang" I don't know where the fark wangxiang is!

Some Chinese guy has taken my password off a pool, and is now masquerading as me!

AHHHHHHHHHHH!~!
