Have you had your chat id stolen?

I came across a member on another forum that said FHN steal from there free members

I dont know why you bother Grinning male, the place sux and the company they keep on there are noobs

3 people i know who went there have all been hacked since, someone is logging ip's

This is true FHN steal your id's I used an id to check the script for my mate on FHN who is also part of the admin team and I tried to get into a room with the id and it said name in use so I used another id and guess what that id was in use so I changed the nick to Current nickname: fhn_steal_ids and the password to the same thing. So if this is what happens to friends I dread to think what happens to other members :?:

What is FHN?

Another MSN clone myfhn.net

Another MSN clone myfhn.net

lol I can't resist..

"So what are you giving them free advertising for??"

Its obvious alot of MSN Chat Clones, have admins, sysop, guides, users that will easily exploit the users or other users. Such as the power mad Team at SPCN or as your saying the ID thefts MyFHN, if you really want to stay safe use Buzzen or Phreik there teams are sligtly more professional athough there a Sysops at Phreik that are abusive and they know who they are:)

Chat Networks i think should be ovided are SCN, MyFHN and Shizzly for many obvious reasons.

Or if in doubt

theres always good old VSICx

VSIXc*

me and my typos, i dont think they will ever go away

It happens. But, the reason fraud is so common on (clone) chat networks is because there is no way to encrypt your information that the MSN ocx can read. The MSN ocx takes in single, true type data. On the other chat networks, your information is encrypted through different types. So, encryption on some of the stand alone ocx servers includes, or is limited to md5, hash, base32 or base64. In all honesty, that's the easiest, and most safest way to do it.

Anyone who gets their chat ID stolen needs to alert the FBI, and other police authorities as this is a form of cyber terrorism. The world needs to rid itself of these loose cannons.

hi

whot wrong with SPCN they help me when I have trouble so good, buzzen never get in room allway error mesege try gain ?

I said it once, and I will say it again. Remember those IRC/MSN control freaks that ran that room you visited. Well now they have more control as admins/sysops/guides. You think they do it because the want to give you a nice chat experience. Puhlease, they do it for the control factor, just like some forum mods tend to do....but not here...i think.

Iam shocked about this id theft issue

What do you mean stole their id? Like I make a passport named Bob and Sysop used it?

Deanne this sure is a free publicity stunt

Yes Travis stolen as in staff members making use of your passport without your knowledge this clearly shows how safe your passwords really are

That doesnt mean they 'stole' your chat id. Anyone can type /nick and use it on a clone network. Theres no process that kicks them off the server if they use it.

when you check the Profile and it is your Profile then I guess that does say a lot

lol is it really that easy to clone on a clone?? Can't be!

I guess it's just another reason why I love Vsixc! If anyone types /nick and tries to clone a registered nick at Vsixc, the server auto-disconnects them as soon as they fail to provide the account password--they aren't even able to speak or be hosted etc.

And another nice perk is the Vsixc admin can't even see account passwords at Vsixc, because they are encoded--so you NEVER have to worry about staff stealing your accounts.

Anyways--sounds like a sad situation grinning_male, and just one more reason to avoide the clones. I know alot of people use the same password at all sites, so hopefully no one is using their MSN or other important passwords at the clones. In my opinion buzzen isn't much better when they get into personal profiles and edit them however they please, just cause they want to--They're still accessing personal accounts, and that bugs me!

Well I wouldnt pin it all on a clone. Surely a clone run by professional and/or mature people would be safer. It isn't the ocx but the people running the site that is in question here just as Shaggy pointed out.

Well, if they're not mature enough to create their own ocx, then is a clone really safe at all?

lol is that seriously a question? How mature is ... oh I dunno, Hilary Clinton? Can she create a clone site? Apples and oranges.
