    some hacker changed the email and password inside my account! His email is and my account is acting up right now... I will probably lose access soon... please do something about it. How did this guy get into my account anyways??? I do not share my info with anybody and I have no viruses/backdoors in my computer!


    if you need to contact me, email me at because if you send it to my DP account, he WILL get it instead!

    no I can't! every time I change the email back to , it says I have the wrong password. Now I can't even login anymore! Some other dude is posting under my account... I have litterally been owned. I am so ashamed, I never thought I would be hacked in my life and here I am watching another guy post under my account! Is there any ADMIN around that could help me here?

    You were most likely hacked due to a phishing attempt - meaning you clicked a link in a post or pm saying it was going to a dp thread, but it was on another site made to look like it. When you logged in there, you gave them your login credentials. Shannon posted a warning about it in general chat a while ago - you always have to be careful before clicking links from PMs (especially from people you don't know).

    Since you're displaying as logged out, I'm banning the account to cut off the hacker's access. Please also do NOT create duplicate accounts - you can email a mod (you can find my email address through the first link in my sig). I'll add your account to the list for admin review, but mods themselves cannot change the email addresses and such on the accounts.
