Whoa, i got hacked....

Postby Floyd » Thu Dec 22, 2005 6:38 pm

Okay, as everyone must know i've created a new account, and with it new charries. now i havent really had much time to play recently so the only acts i've made them do is get on a road, i havent logged back in until today when i discover that the first thing on my events page for a charrie of mine is this.

1384-5: a man in his thirties expertly hurts you using a bone spear. You lose 22 percent strength.

1384-5: You say: "i think you're mighty sexy, i think you're mighty fine"

1384-5: You attack a man in his fourties using a bare fist, but you miss.

Now i havent logged in since i arrived at the town, and this isnt exactly something i'd do with my charries anyway... can some one please explain what has happened?

Only one cantr player knows my password, but he doesent even know i'm playing again, and surely has no way of finding out my account number?

This sucks! i might aswell just time out this account and start playing again after. maybe. :cry:

This is probally meant to be in the CR section but i wanted to get noticed quicker...

I think the person punched was my character, I definately remember hearing those words somewhere.

Edit: Yeah, it was Seko.

1384-5: You say: "Uh uh I dunno... womans are s-scary, they does crazy stuff... I- I dun't think I likes them anymore..."

1384-5: Gabriel Krunk says: "What was the deal with that? "

1384-5: You see Gabriel Krunk expertly hurt yet another strange girl using a bone spear.

1384-5: yet another strange girl says: "i think you're mighty sexy, i think you're mighty fine"

1384-5: yet another strange girl attacks you using a bare fist and misses. You are unharmed.

1384-5: yet another strange girl says: "hellllllllllo"

1384-3: You leave Baak hills west, using Olipifirovash Bike (612), taking Mulof Road to Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak.


No hard feelings, yet another reason to think girls are scary.

Not to my knowledge you can't, exept if you're on a vehicle. Surely someone in Baaak or the other end gave her food, or then she collected or picked up some.

She definatly didnt get given any before she went on the road, and no one in Baak gave her any before she ate...

I recall someone in Baaak handing you those asperagus, at least I think it was you.
I also remember you talking to my char about pigeons.
Or at least, your char...

As for the hacking:
Yesterday or the day before, I received two mailes from an e-mail address which used names "languages" and "marketing" while the mail domains were different.
My anti-virus nailed both these mails for having virusses.
I'll check my AV logs for details.

Another option might be that someone got into the database, but that would have been noticed sooner and I think they'd have gone after much more players if they did get into the database.

Edit:
21-12-2005 5:50:03 **** email message from: "Languages" <languages@cae.edu.au> to: "Languages" <languages@cantr.net> with subject [Languages] Isabell dated Tue, 20 Dec 2005 15:36:07 -0500 Win32/Bagle.DR worm - contained infected files

21-12-2005 5:49:45 **** email message from: "Amd" <amd@jyxy579.org> to: "Amd" <amd@************> with subject Bennet dated Tue, 20 Dec 2005 16:53:51 -0700 Win32/Bagle.DR worm - contained infected files

The amd@jyxy579.org one showed up using the name "marketing" in my mail client, but in my AV log it shows the name "Amd", which also is the beginning of my e-mail address.
I don't have the original e-mails anymore (deleted them as soon as they came in) but I might still be able to dig up some more info about them, but not from this computer, so that will have to wait.

Edit 2: She?
Ah, then it wasn't your char who spoke to me about pigeons, that was a male char.
But they both stuttered in the same way.
Looks like there's more victims.
I'll try to copy some info from Baaak to send to the right person, so it can be looked into.

Stuttering male character asking about planting feathers to farm pigeons? That was mine.

Edit 3:
Copied two pieces, as seen by my char, I named the one who spoke to me about pigeons "[ttm] |a man in his fourties|".
This part is where he spoke to me, not stuttering:
1388-5: You see [ttm] |a man in his fourties| leaving Baaak, taking Mulof Road to Baaak Hills (west).

1388-5: [ttm] |a man in his fourties| says: "I goes looking for Gabi. He shoulds be here by now."

1388-4: [ttm] |a man in his fourties| says: "This is Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!"

1388-4: [ttm] |a man in his fourties| says to you: "*grins* You think if I puts feathers in the ground, there would grow pigeons? Pigeons are nice..."

1388-4: You say to [ttm] |a man in his fourties|: "Well, I doubt it'd work, but... if the hat makes more pigeons appear somehow, then I guess it's a good bonus"

1388-3: [ttm] |a man in his fourties| says to you: "*He stares at the forming hat curiously.* Is you trying to make more pigeons?"

This part is where he spoke in public, stuttering:
1387-6: [ttm] |a man in his fourties| says: "S-somebody needs to stop farming now, gives him room. Because otherwise he won't ever learn."

1387-6: You see [ttm] |a man in his fourties| pointing at a man in his twenties.

1387-6: [ttm] |a man in his fourties| says: "Yshl, Yshl... this boy don't know how to farm b-because prolly he hasn't ever done it. There's so much people working that he non't have room to care his speargrass."

1387-6: [ttm] |a man in his fourties| says: "A-are you sure you's really working on it? If you just started it but you non't take care of your plants then they don't grow."

(I edited out some things that were said by other people in between)


Edit 4: Okay, seems I hit the "quote"-button instead of the "edit"-button.
This was supposed to be part of my other post.
And Seko, aha... well, in that case, if you did the stuttering yourself, obviously I'd be wrong about that char being another victim.

Yeah, he stutters when he's nervous or excited.

But looking at somebody working... you would imagine the person is sitting and concentrated on their work. When you walk over to them, you can just watch and they won't even notice. You can talk or you can just wander away. Your choice. And you're almost enchanted by the skill this person works with, sewing feathers on a hat with tiny stitches... It's like magic. And in all that, for a moment you forget to be scared of the world. ^__^

Rosa was well played. I'll miss her as an enemy. My character will still hold a grudge against her though....arg.

But glad to have you back! No grudges against you, Floyd!

Change your password. According to my IT department, a "strong" password is between 6-8 characters in length, begins and ends with letters, and contains at least one number and one symbol such as , . ! & or %
