how exactly is an account "stolen"

[Rpcry]

well long time ago i found someone leeching fron my fsc account (passkey hacked i guess), and have had troubles with my file porn account too (that was hacked, when i get it back i found a different flag plus some profile shit). I allways use random passwords to all my sites, and havent shared my torrents ever, is something that can happen to anyone, a good hacker will find the way .

A good hacker doesn't randomly pick targets. If they pick you, there is usually a reason.

Excellent point Panda.

Also most trackers log your ips ( I wont say all) so they know if your account has been hacked just by looking Also why using crazy proxies to sign in like from the UK one time and next time the NZ is not to smart either.

Most of the time it's the result of a trade gone wrong. (trading is bad :p)

I wouldn't be surprised if giveaway'rs did as bad. They give away the account, let the other person buffer it (simply choose the person who says they have seedbox), then get the account back, and whoo they have a sweet ratio and there account back. This is why the token line everyone says "trading is bad" should change to "transferring accounts is bad".

if trackers introduced a biometrical authentification method the next thing you would read in the invite section is:

trade my finger for *** account.

The headline is more likely to read...

music.cd hacked after sysop had his finger hacked off!

instead of

music.cd site hacked!

sort of brings the concept of 'hacking' to a whole new level, people with a wild eyed look in their eyes running around with machete's
