I searched "Vo Codestone" in SSW and I got a cookie grabber didn't click it but I still cleared my cookies and changed my password and then I get on search "Vo Codestone" again and I go to the lowest different username and shop and It's another CG. Twice in a row. Thats pretty bad and yet this is just going on over and over again. Be careful

Yeah, I think they got frozen for their username...
There has been a lot of CG activity lately in the shops. IMO, it appears to be the same person that is doing it based on the coding and the way it is being done. I have reported many shops to neo and sent them samples of the code that is doing it. All of the accounts have been iced very quickly, but I don't think that's really helping since they appear to be stolen accounts that are being used to do this. It is pretty clever scheme that uses a url forwarding site and some inventive code to insert the link and disguise it to look like a real item in the shop.
The coding has been getting more sophisticated all the time. I sure hope neo gets this sorted out soon and filters out the script code that does this. Until then, be very careful in non-neo shops. The way it is right now, you can't really tell that it is a CG until after you click on the item you think you are buying. The only reason I haven't been 'grabbed' by this so far (at least I hope I haven't) is that the script that ultimately runs is not on neo and I have scripts blocked from other sites. the way this code is progressing, pretty soon the person will figure out how to get the url where the script runs on some commonly accessed site (like facebook) that people have scripts enabled. If that happen, I think a lot of users are going to be at risk.
For now, I would disable all scripts and only enable them for the site you're on while you're on that site. Also, be very careful about being presented with a fake login page. I have also seen that code inserted the same way the CG scripts are being inserted. If you suspect something has happened, logout of neo ASAP. Make sure when you log back into neo that it is on the real neo login page. Change your password and PINs as well to really be safe, but again, make sure you're doing it on the real neo site first!

I was trying to snipe codestones, forgetting about the whole CG issues going on at the moment and, surely enough, landed in a CG shop. Only realized my mistake after clicking the item (which is a very fast process when it comes to codestones, the lil' buggers go fast). I logged out, cleared my cookies, installed the key scrambler add-on and changed my password a couple of times in the process. Hopefully it will be enough =/. No more codestone sniping for me until this crap is resolved.
