Opticraft Community

Hey there fellow opticrafters..

As my tread says i got hacked..

I havent played MC for the last month or so,(been playing a little bit of wow)

Today i returned to find most my builds fuckd up (as usuall)..

After talking to a mod i found out that most the grief was done by myself.. I went to check my chests, and yes, they are fkd up aswell.. (nothing seems stolen, but its all a huge mess)...

If this affected anyone else but me, i wana deeply appologize to the ppl that it hit.. Thos that know me (ty nyssa for the message and the trust in me) know this wasnt me.. nooone knows my password to mc, so i have no clue how this happend, but now my password is changed, and if i can find it in me, ill try and start fixing all that was broken..

Yeah, this must be the reason all this shit happend.. Tbh its my own fault, its been far to long since i made a full scan of my system..

I do appologize to the ppl other then me, this affected.. Im currently scanning for malware, and making sure this wont happen again..

My friend's account got hacked too.
I used to use it, but now me or he, we cannot enter. He sent a mail to Mojang about that, and he hopes the problem will be solved soon because he will probably participate in my event..
We will see.

And I thought it was really you D:

=) No more wow for you!

yeh happened to me aswell and i looked further into it and found out that people have created programs that search servers u choose to and then from a list of millions of words it cracks your username and password, i know how you feel the guy got me banned on this server and messed up all the people who trusted me hope it dosnt happen on opticraft to me
good luck building and i will help you if you like

I guess being a "good boy" on the opticraft servers, for many years, saved my name in this situation

Did any of you guys "talk to me" while this was going on ?

And do anyone know when it happend ?

Ive looked in all my chests, and all of em were a total mess, but the only thing that seems missing, is 2 diamond picks with a lvl 20'ish enchant on em (nothing im gona miss that bad). My diamonds, gold and iron were still alll there, and though i dont remember excactly how mutch money i had, nothing seems stolen from my balance either.. (im usually broke, since the money i got, goes to building materials)

All in all, i just dont get what the attack on my account was all about..

That is what is known as a "dictionary attack" in computer security.

It's a crude but effective method, but if your password is a long or complex one, shouldn't be a prob. As for keylogger's, programs that record every key tap, and so get data like bank info, use a save password option so you don't have to type.

Normal members get a ban for this because they are not trusted. You are lucky this time that you have friends and that you are trusted. I hope for you it doesn't happen again!

I think some people are talking about you or that they are saying things on you on 04-29 or 04-28. I'm not sure about this, but I hope this will help a bit.

What also saved you is that it was only your work that was griefed lol.

Had you bought your PC second hand? because I know that's how most key logger hacks happen... Or at least I have encountered with friends and family.

Make sure to change all your passwords that had the same one.
