Scammed " A cookie is a small piece of data saved by your browser on behalf of Neopets.com. It saves your login information so you don't have to log in every time you want to do something on Neopets.com. A cookie grabber is any browser exploit on another website that allows an attacker to capture your browser cookies. Those cookies contain your login information, and can be used to log into your account from the attacker's computer. The advice people in the forums give you
is usually "delete your cookies!". Another warning: if you downloaded a program from a neopets related site,or MSN/AIM and opened it, you could also get a virus on your computer which gives the hacker full control over your computer. He can do whatever he wants, like deleting files etc. Or it could be a Trojan Keylogger, which keeps track of everything you type. The scammer will know all your entry codes within minutes. So never ever download programs, and certainly not from people you don't know (even neofriends can become scammers, cause scammers never use their own accounts). Having a virusscanner on your computer is a pro. Also spyware is a way to get information about your computer, so you also should download Ad-Aware and Spybot to eliminate those Watch out when you use chat clients such
as AIM. A scammer is sending people links asking them to take a look at
their 'artwork'. This image link is embedded with a trojan keylogger, so
it will start recording everything you type, including your Neopets
username and entry code. More Info Here |
