What's weird, though, is that none of the typical things are getting done with the hijacked accounts. Whoever's been breaking into them just jumps straight into the troll bait.

That bugs me too. Who is that person? And what does he want?wildweasel wrote:What's weird, though, is that none of the typical things are getting done with the hijacked accounts. Whoever's been breaking into them just jumps straight into the troll bait.

A repeat offender, evidently.

And yet registered in 2008? Likely story.

Yeah. Not who he says he is at all.

I think I haven't paid too much attention around here, or admin action has been pretty fast, or both, so what trolling/account hacking are you guys talking about?

If you see a lot of posts from seemingly random or even abandoned accounts that are demanding Brutal Doom support in stupid places, that's them.Gothic wrote:I think I haven't paid too much attention around here, or admin action has been pretty fast, or both, so what trolling/account hacking are you guys talking about?

Am I the only one who suspects doom-multicore guy? All this shiz happened right after he got banned. Could this be "The Revenge of the Multicorer"? That's some extreme no-lifing - trolling the streets 24/7.

I don't really have any way to tell, sadly, but the troll posts we're getting lately are at least a bit more grammatically correct than the handful from that other guy.Lud wrote:Am I the only one who suspects doom-multicore guy?

Whoever it is, is not trying to hack only the seemly abandoned accounts. I got the "too many login attempts" warning twice this month. I have just fortified my password, just in case.

Re: What the hell is happening with the trolls latelly?
Oh jeezum crow, that actually happened to me too. I thought nothing of it and thought I was being an idiot and just didn't remember. So that's what that was... I'll go ahead and change my password now too. I sincerely thought this was a problem with my internet trying to redirect me too many times or something. Could it be that the forum API needs to be updated?jdredalert wrote:I got the "too many login attempts" warning twice this month. I have just fortified my password, just in case.
Admins, you should sticky/pin a post stating to change your password at least once every month as a security measure.
I don't know but I'm definitely anxious about this forum now.

I have already done this - but you don't really have anything to fear, considering that the worst that's happened is someone uses those accounts to be an idiot.unRyker wrote:Admins, you should sticky/pin a post stating to change your password at least once every month as a security measure.
