Well as we all know that HACKERS are all around there and you are only just a few steps away from the hackers and your account has been hacked,,, But think about it,,, What would you do, is somehow your MYLOT password got hacked and also its been used by some different user,,, What would be the first reaction you did... 1: Report to Mylot.com 2: Make a new account and message your all friends and tell them to help you on this behalf... 3: ...........??????? Share your opinions... Cheers!!!

Hmm, reporting to mylot would be the easiest way to resolve this problem, but i don't think they will try to help us on this regard... Keep posting!!!

why would you even think that, you never asked them so how do you know, the first thing is to contact them, they would have to close down your account or find the person if it is somebody on mylot

Okk,,, think about it,,, lets say i hacked your account, amd you can't access to your account, and i changed your email id, security question,paypal address,,,of your mylot account,,,, so how they even know, who actually registered WINTEROSE,,, as we don't have any ID proof here online... Thanks for responding to my comment... keep posting!!!

I would hate to have that happen to me. I would contact Mylot first. I may have a different account set up also. I would also have to change my Paypal address too so they could not get it and have it. I think I am going to go change my passowrd right now because I think one person here still has it.

I needed some help in my profile area at one time here at Mylot and I gave a person my login details because I just could not figure out what to do so they helped me. I changed it again today though, so now they do not have my new one. Just cannot be too safe these days. I haven't heard from this person for a while either.

Well, it would depend on how they got the password. It'd be very unlikely that mylot itself got hacked (meaning many, many usernames/passes would be stolen), so I'd come to reason that it was a local problem, most likely from a keylogger, etc (unless one or two others noticed the same problem with their account, which would mean it would most likely be the effects of fishing or fake login sites). If it was a keylogger or some other privacy invasion on my own PC, it would do no good to create a new account or change the pass on the existing one until I had eliminiated whatever caused the first one to become compromised. First I'd clean my PC. Then I'd change my pass and see if the hacker could still access my account. Once satisfied that the problem was solved, I'd send out a notification, change my pass again just in case, and watch my account closely for a month, logging in at abnormal times and checking to make sure that the last login to my account was at a time that I actually logged in.

Of course I'd also re-secure my wireless LAN. :p Forgot that in the original post.

Nothing. The smart thing is to have a secure password such as: QkmB3,D3Rm The longer and more complex the better.

I hopre it wont happen to me. I would definitely change it as fast as possible and hope that it doesnt get hacked again... is there a possiblity of it happening atthe same account? i sure hope not.

well, if that happen than the first thing hacker will do to change your password, so that you can't change it further,,, then how could you recover that lol... Anyways thanks for responding...keep posting!!!

Well, if someone started using my account, I'd make sure my paypal address hadn't been changed, reset my password and report any posts that were actually offensive. If they posted anything decent I'd just leave it, I would get the credit anyway. I wouldn't make a new account and throw away everything I've earned here...meaning my post count and star.

How could you reset your password... if the hacker does change it already,,, and it makes sense that you will still happy if some make posting using your account,,, i'll not allow anyone though,,, Keep posting!!!

I think I will contact to Mylot's admin so that I can say what's the problem I have now. And try to get back my own account. Besides it, I can't think out more methods.

Hmm, but i don't think so that mylot admin will listen to us and trust upon us,,, isn't it better to regroup your all friends here in mylot and then ban that dam account...lol Anyways thanks for responding and keep posing!!!

I would be very disappointed. I would try another way to change my password, if that do not work I would have mylot to retreive me all my earnings, and let them give me a new profile.

Report it to mylot and andlet them take it from there. I will be very vigilant.

I would notify myLot for starters. After receiving an email from their administrator, I would change the password but keep my name. It's too much trouble to start over using a different name. Am sure this has happened and myLot knows how to handle it so it would be at their discretion that I change things.

hmmmmmmmmmmm..... That's the biggest nightmare which should never happen to anyone especially with me.As i made many friends,many referrals and a bit better earnings i would never want to get my password hacked. If some how my password gets hacked i would contact the admins of mylot and request to change password and give back that account to me as it is too hard to make good friends and referrals and then lost the account. Have a ncie day!! Happy Earnings!!

I would create a new account, report to mylot my situation, establish my new identity with my friends and ask them as well to vouch my new ID to myLot.

that's a terrible thing i never thought before.if it really happens,i'll sing up a new account first,after which i'll start a new discussion immediately to inform everyone on mylot what has happened to me and what has that person done on me. in that case,i guess that person have to reopen a new account too or he'll be looked down by everyone here.
