hijacked email accounts in msn chatroom

For the second time now the sameusers from another room have staked a claim in chattampabay a room i frequent........using the dcc send 1234567899 or whatever numbers they have been moofing the regs out of the room........it affects about 3 users .....being the rebel that i am i quickly gave my 2 cents about these users........the one user uses a nickname of Identity thief(ghost).......this user then proceeded to spam my email addy in the room correctly and changed my password so i couldnt use that account anymore.........i have never used this account to email anyone i was logged in using the regular msn chat client........and this is the second time this has happened the last time they changed my chat nickname in my master account ......and i was so miffed about it i called and canceled my msn account......i renewed a few days later.....this recent one dosent bother me as much becuase it is just a passport account for chat......the original time though with my master account made me extremely mad because my personal effects from friends and save emails in that account.......these people are nothing but moderrn day peeping toms........im not exactly the best chatter but i have no desire to read someone elses emails or thier computer stuff......my question is simple since i dont have my passwords stored in cache and the only place i have them is in the script i use(genisis)........how did they get my email addy and password ......how do i stop them from doing it in the future ?and if any of you that are savy with the scripts come in chattampabay and teach these buttheads a lesson.......the helpdesk is useless........and i really suspect insider info coming from either a sysop or msn employee........because several of us have gone to the help desk and they simply say they cant prove it even though they have spammed the dcc send right in the room.........i know if im ever using a script in the room all it takes is one and im thrown out for spamming a macro......the reason i feel there is insider info is because these guys could moof me when im using the regular chat client but couldnt do a thing when i logged on using a script ........anyone in my opinion that has knowledge enough to hijack an email account can certainly destroy a script in a chatroom.....they had 3 names time checking me they finally left........that user also goes by the nickname of tater and requents the lobby1

i doubt very seriously someone stole your email acct that easily. Most likely they used a msn account freezer to block you from using your account. Basically what it does is try to log in over and over with the wrong password which makes the account unavailable for login. Security feature. Great Job MSN NOT!

that or... script has a backdoor. or they made you type sumthin in ur script that gives u the backdoor. or a fake sign in page that gives out ur info. could be alot of ways. but lke error said, that could be to, and when u said they changed ur chatname msn coulda did that.. happend to me and other ppl. had to clear cookies to fix it.

glad to see msn chat hasnt changed

Apparently it is an easy task...the other error aka chop had his account stolen, the thief messaged me and said "I want to see your C&CK, or i am going to steal your account." and he proceded to do just that. The thing is there is a hotmail admin program originally made for msn staff going around that makes it easy to steal accounts. Just like there is a program to make free msn accounts that last 1-2 weeks. It works amazingly because first it connects to a proxy and does all the work for you.. all you need to do is type in the 6 alphanumeric security code msn requires when creating accounts.

You know the free program for accounts has like 1919191 backdoors right:p?

yep, i found that out....the hard way. Certain files were removedand lots of tampering was done which forced me to buy a new hd, and start new again.

Lol me too but i didn't have to buy a new hd I either never got infected or i managed to remove it but it aint there now an i learnt my lesson; MSN Chat is lame if you pay or not:p

They using that MSN messenger freeze account thing that Dan_Da_Man has out on his site.

no because they got my email addy.........this was a tottaly bogus account strictly used for chat......i had not given anyone that addy.........and this is the second time it happened........now ill try logging in again today to test your theory though.........but how did they get the addy in the first place?.........i removed the account from my msn premium account.........but the backdoor theory on the script makes sense because the addys and passwords are stored on it........like i said im using genisis with the modified vincula.........and i downloaded that off of this site.......if there is a backdoor perhaps someone might investigate that possibility

i reset my password but it is saying that someone has tried to many times to access the account with either the wrong password or email addy.........so the freeze thing is sounding more feasible........just dont know how they got the email addy

What your saying doesnt matter. If someone has your email, thats all they need. After the 4th time of incorrect passwords, MSN nulls the password, thus making it useless to you. Completely dead. So, err0r is most likely correct.

my privacy always matters as should everyone elses......like i said no one had that addy.......i never even used the email with that addy......and if we have an msn employee giving out personal info on people it matters to all that frequent these rooms

correct in my haste and being this was an msn account just for chat i dont remember doing it but my profile url address used my email addy .....it must default to it if you dont insert your own address.......all the time thinking these guy were hackers [email protected] i was just recently able to access this account because another user in my room posted the same problem i was having with her account.......she had the would be hackers on her messenger.......anyway she said she could access her account again and i tried mine aand it worked.......i looked at my profile and there was my email addy in the damn url........THANX MSN FOR PROTECTING MY PRIVACY AND CHANGING THE PROFILES ON EVERYONE.........oh and error thanx for the msn freezer thing i think thats what they used .......i was more focused on how they got my email addy

 

np.. glad it all worked out.

well as for the dcc send i set my GD5 to kick if anyone types DCC Send then i add them to the auto kick list.

i'll put in a DC blocker when i get some time...
