You need to allow all this page on facebook. At least that's what I do. :P But FYI adblock interferes with some apps. =/ We weren't born to follow ♥

[quote=saudor]Yeah seriously someone doesnt have a life lol Anyways word has it that these idiots are breaking into neopets fansites and getting the passwords that way since people tend to use the same password everywhere. Or it could be that database issue. Rest assured though, the security imposed on neomallers is rock solid. Even if the database was broken into by any chance, the passwords are encrypted at a level that the encryption cannot be reversed. BUT, you should still use an unique word for this site too I'll change the server's root password when i get home again. (I cant change it now since i dont know what my server password is. It's that complicated lol)[/quote] Seriously doesnt have a life *lol* I figured you would have us all nice and protected :) Im just not ready to worry about this crap every day again, but I am sure they will all start up full force so they can have a good stock pile of things to sell for cash before summer starts. You would think tnt had a few people who's jobs were nothing but watching for these sites and taking them down with legal threats. *unsure* [quote=return_of_weatherbee]Ahh ok.

If you click on your S in the bottom corner it should tell you what is still blocked on the page.

There is no such thing as 100% security to it doesnt hurt to be careful :P But so far, every attempt has been stopped by the script though. I recently disabled images in forums as well since it's possible to hotlink an image to some script and i have no idea how the browser might handle such a weird... well handling of that "image file" so best to avoid it. The new sales history tracker is going to be a bit problematic though. But hopefully, i can set it up pretty nicely. At the very least, if CGs are going to be posted there, it'd only affect the person's own account, not everyone else's

yes I had everything pinned and they still got my pets and nps. I have no script as well. Apprently gmail may be the source, I really can't tell you what happened. I know I didn't go to any sites that are malicious. only sites I went to was JN and sunny. if anyone has gmail assosiated with their acc I would suggest changing it.

Every 2-3 days a new password? Is someone actually in the database now and can get what they want? What if I change my PW now and don't log in for a few days? Can they still get my account because they got PWs? --- Step outside, take a breath of fresh air, then look down to see if you have a new text message.

Ugh this is the first time I've had this problem; I have my UL set up just how I want it but the filter tags won't let me keep it, I'm not good enough at coding to know what I'm doing (Using a premade layout on top of another link that leads straight to a preferred link of mine , I don't want that messed up!), and they have the PW change as the same page as the UL coding. --- Step outside, take a breath of fresh air, then look down to see if you have a new text message.
