Title: Somebody tried to reset my password
Post by: xchng on February 28, 2018, 04:07:04 PM
A person with IP 241.82.108.50 tried to reset my password. I did not request this. What do?

Change your email password, and account password. Make sure that any accounts that you use the email and password for you change too. Contact theymos through personal message to see if he can find anyone matching that VPN. Although, it's likely a VPN/Tor exit node and won't be helpful.

I don't think theymos would have the time to respond. There are accounts on this forum that still need to be recovered for people who have proven that they own the accounts (Trankil is as example). This would be very low priority and you probably won't hear back for theymos.

Agreed, change your email and password like Welsh said.

Replace your password with mixed numbers and symbols and activate the 2-step verification code in settings for double security.

you can trace other persons ip address but you can't protect your own account with just simple passphrase?  how can it be?  a newbie account get hacked or you just used a newbie account to complain? i don't get it at all. you should defend yourself OP if that really happens to you.? Nobody cares with a newbie account because it is just a waste of time. want to fool others? or you are fooling yourself? please Explain further OP. (sorry for my words)

Are you using another account?
Perhaps it's a hacker's aim at Merit and Rank.
Please be careful.

Now time to change your password and email password. Don't give same password for both of accounts. Your account already hacked? I think yes. Because this account is brand new account with only one post. Who wants hack brand new account?

OP is just trolling and basking in the euphoria that he has a thread created. Who gives a heck about a lazy noob account? You see, nobody does. Except you are writing from an alt account. In that case, it will be appropriate to say you are not acting serious here.

If you sought advice, now you got it. You may well do to lock his thread. Done.

What are you on about? Isnt it clear that the OP is hiding something?

Simply you should quick change your email address which is link into your account and change your password into much stronger password to able securing your account.
One thing i notice that your account is newbie and their is no one will be interested to hack no valued account also you was creating this account to post complain or if you have high rank account why you do not used it. But do what is my recommendation to change your some details for your security.
