well maybe not a hack but id did find something intrusting.

it seems some people who have a
8char passwds are being broken into.

some of these true IP's are coming from everywhere.

after doing a little digging in i found a pharm link, IP came from ecuador.
allot of these pharm links were coming from canada in the past.

so i looked deeper and found what i expected.
3 contacts in my list are sending pharm links along with other sorts of spam sites to my accounts.

i checked my Google account and it said there was a login from a mobile user in Sweden. HUH???

one I dont live in Sweden and was a mobile user, well thats weird I changed the pass about a hour ago.

long story short it seems these 3 contacts of mine d/loaded a 3 party app on their mobile that track keylogers.

PEOPLE!!! DONT D/LOAD 3RD PARTY APPS...
I say this all the time does anyone listen nope.

if anyone here receives anything from me and it has spam its not me.

I got a dodgy email from my sister and when i opened it(my sister only send me emails when it's important) AVG malware blocker came up on my pc so i quarantined it then deleted it.

In the http (i wont put the link here as it is a virus) it says - blackshinestar.com.

Have the idiots that do these kinds of things got nothing better to do?

glad it didnt come me...

but yea i always wondered why people resort to such tactics to make a dollar/pound/yen.

one would make a killing being legit , i guess some would rather fire up their spam servers send 50k email every 24 hours and leave it at that hoping some will buy into it.

That's honestly so lame what people are doing.

My parents have also recieved calls from FAKE numbers (Yes, it's possible to send a call from what ever number you want). They think it's the Chase Bank calling them, when it's someone trying to steal my dads social security + Account information.

Be careful guys, some people are very pathetic, and have nothing else to do.
