Re: my HDBITS account was attacked and stolen
Obviously he was scammed, or he made the trade and now regrets he did it, and wants the account back.
Re: my HDBITS account was attacked and stolen
yeah, he did something wrong......things like this just don't happen for no reason.....where there's smoke, there's fire in my book.....
Re: my HDBITS account was attacked and stolen
Actually, I had my FTN account stolen a few years ago, probably by staff at a site where I had just signed up with the same password. It's suspicious, but not impossible.

You need to stick around here more longer m8. In time you will come to realize that many people have some very interesting comedic stories to tell and excuses. I am very surprised i havent heard the re-formatting of the hd's excuse lately. :slap::drunk:

Most likely the case.
Unless somebody knew your password (highly unlikely unless you used something really insecure), then there is no way they were able to access the account.
No one would try to brute-force a password (the logs would catch all the attempts) and all the passwords are hashed/encrypted in the DB so no admins would've tampered with it (unless given a serious enough reason to).
i had almost the same experience with my waffles account so dont says something you dont know ;)
the hacker logged into my account and i dunno how because i had a realy strong password (made by recover pass from waffles) , and he changed the password and then he tired to change the mail but for this he need to confirme it from the old mail (i used gmail) ; so in that time i got in my inbox gmail the mail from waffles...and i tired to log into my account but its too late the pass alredy chaned, so i decided to recover and surprise the email is not found on the date base :)
i have not confrimed the changement of the mail :) and he is not enter to my gmail account (and the mail to confrime is still unread)...
just to tell you a good hacker can get easly your account , trackers security is a joke for him, actualy i got back my account, thx to waffles staff
Re: my HDBITS account was attacked and stolen

That just means your security fails. Not the tracker's. No one, I guarantee you, no one can "hack" your account. It just isn't worth the effort.
A hacker that has the wits to hack the database and find your password, would rather just simply add an entry about himself. That's that. What you're suggesting is insane, you're suggesting a hacker bypassed tracker email change security, which could have simply been a bug, or the wrong way that waffles' code handles such outgoing emails by sending an email and disabling it from the database straight off.
I've been in the passwords/trackers business for quite a while, and I've only heard of one friend's account hacked, and that's simply because he gave the password out to people. Simply as that, no questions asked. He might have as well gotten keylogged (which could have happened in your case), but then again that's his fault, not the tracker's.

maybe you are right , but you have to know i used password like : iotpLaXEyO , and i dont type it since i use firefox so its registred in my firefox (maybe he got it from here) , if so why he didnt get other more higher and interssting trackers :) and i use kaspersky IS 2010 full update so maybe i have to change it now ...
also what about the mail? i didnt confirmed the changement of mail and the mail is changed to his mail?!
