this is what happens
hacker gets your id from you being an idiot
hacker gets your e-mail from you being an idiot
hacker enters your id and e-mail to get to secret question page
hacker prepares a dictionary attack or a research attack to try and guess your secret answer
if hacker is successfull he changes your password
then hacker changes your e-mail so you can not change your password
you = screwed
and after all this is done change "hacker" to "smart(but dosnt HAVE to be smart) person taking advantage of someone elses stupidity" and we are all done

if his secret question is like mothers maiden name. do they go to a russian phone catalog and check all female names?
^an example. i could have taken pet name as example too.

maybe i should have.

take poker players for example... people say poker players never forget hands that are important to them so next time they are playing that person they know how the acted on that last hand and can make decisions from their previous experiences... same thing with these "info hackers"they probe you for information over long periods of time and put toghether the peices that THEY think are usefull to them to guess account id's and passwords... ive actually had these people come up to me and try to "probe" me for information but i knew what they were trying to do because they obviously wernt very good at it...

but the ones who ARE good at this kind of things are usually people who are very close to you in game and have known you for a long time... so i cant stress this enough BE CAREFULL WHAT YOU SAY ONLINE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT SOMEONE IS GATHERING FROM YOUR CONVERSATION

k well you dont have to tell me these things im just saying you didnt get hacked because people DO NOT get hacked in silkroad... it is your own fault and that is why joymax will not recover "hacked" accounts because it is not JOYMAX'S fault

so to answer your first question... no there is no way you can get your account back... if i were you id just look for it on e-bay and try to "scam" it back... get the sellers e-mail and enter that on the secret question page and change the e-mail

what if they arent selling the acc on ebay? and actually playing it? dude and its not my fault. how do i know if someone puts a keylogger on my comp. how do you know if someone puts a keylogger on your acc till its too late?

if u think about it, people dont just put random keyloggers on your computer for no reason, i bet a lot of scammers dont even play sro

u obviously downloaded something specific (not like a poker game or music playing program) that compromised the security of your account

Smix · **Joined:** Aug 2006 **Posts:** 278 **Location:**

if they are playing it then thats even worse because joymax sure as hell iisnt going to do anything against an active account...

and people cant PUT keyloggers on your computer you have to download it yourself... or have a friend install one on your computer(that happened to me some idiot of a friend of mine downloaded some trojan from an msn conversation onto MY computer... lets just say HIS computer isnt doing to well after that little incident)

also im sorry, you may not want to accept it, or you may not believe it, but you loosing your account was almost 100% your own fault and no one elses...
