OT: Hacked account--how to handle?

riverjib · August 2010

I haven't been on here in a week or two, but someone (former co-worker) got into my (and other co-workers) Facebook and email accounts. I don't know what other passwords she got through my email, and I have no idea whether she got my Knot password. Someone else said he got some nasty messages from users on a board he frequents. I'm hoping that she hasn't been here (this is the only board I visit semi-regularly), but is changing my password enough? I'm rarely here, so if anyone has seen any weird posts under my name, it wasn't me :-(

Any advice? This has never happened to me before, but I had to basically delete my FB profile and nearly had to change my email address!!!

I would just change your passwords and give your former coworker an earful.

Surely coworker has violated some sort of rule at work? Has management done anything about this?

nda_roxybabe · August 2010

Your coworker knew who Nebb was? That seems odd.

riverjib · August 2010

Oh, she'll probably face charges, and I wasn't the first one to realize she did this...two of my coworkers warned me. (She was laid off recently, but I think it had more to do with workplace issues than company finances).

I'm only on FB occasionally (maybe 1-2x/week) , and here even less frequently. But when the first two noticed it, they warned all of us. She didn't send anything from my accounts, but there was account activity that wasn't me.

So I guess I can just hope that she didn't do anything offensive that reflects poorly on me!

Your coworker was very busy on your behalf. Paging Nebb on SB, talking about weight loss success, how to deal with people un-friending you on facebook...

Is this like when you make out with some guy at a college party and claim to be drunk the next day?

eastunder1 · August 2010

This is the most rational, believeable thing I've ever read. No holes in this, no sir.

riverjib · August 2010

Okay, this is interesting. I have no idea who Nebb is, or how to "page" someone here. Oh boy.

Yet your coworker does? That IS interesting.

Here are a few threads "you" participated in.

God yes...

Blueyed228 · August 2010

Your coworker hacked your knot account at 4am to post about Nebb?

That makes sense.......

riverjib · August 2010

Yes, it is. And she's a former coworker who evidently sent awful messages to people on a current coworker's Facebook account. I'm not someone who is here very often, or ever has said anything incendiary or offensive. I don't know how to look up "my" posts, and I don't know anyone here at all.

And if someone has said anything offensive on my behalf, I'm sorry. Fortunately, nobody here can take anything coming from my account personally, since I haven't communicated with anyone personally.

Can anyone tell me how to get in touch with TK to clear this up?

JadziaDax · August 2010

Just change your password. There is nothing to clear up.

nda_roxybabe · August 2010

Well, obviously she must have gotten on here a lot under your name. She sure had a lot of time on her hands. I mean, she must have lurked. Wow.

katiewhompus · August 2010

Actually from what I've seen in your posts (just go to your bio page, then click on message boards) besides her page to Nebb she was very helpful and knows a bit about weight loss.

Oh, and she apparently was de-friended by someone she hasn't talked to in over 10 years and wanted to know if she was right to be upset.

Definitely not something I would do if I were an ex coworker and wanted to stir shiit up...

riverjib · August 2010

Oh, boy. Sorry ladies. Nobody knows me well enough to know it wasn't me. Oh well. I don't know why you'd think anyone would come here specifically to pick fights with people who haven't said a single word to them, but it wasn't me. I'm not going to try to defend myself...I'm just grateful for damage that wasn't done in my "real life."

nda_roxybabe · August 2010

So you didnt post in any weight loss threads? Or...about the FB defriending? What was your last post?

katiewhompus · August 2010

Or any of the 20 some posts that were made over the past 4 days?

golden1215 · August 2010

how can you have over 200 legitimate posts that you did and not know how to check your post history?

Click on your profile and it says "posts" with a 200something # right there... it gives a list of everything you've done.

Sorry but you are either lying or really stupid...

Nebb · August 2010

WHY DOES YOUR COWORKER HATE ME?!

mwhitson14 · August 2010

Dammit I should lurk more.

katiewhompus · August 2010

I'm still stuck at Mark Salling...yummy.

Haha Whit

mwhitson14 · August 2010

That's what I get for being helpful!

katiewhompus · August 2010

I swear! You guys tried to be helpful to Bonbon too, we need an E-SB - CC warning signal for when the trolls/crazies/whatever start migrating over.

mwhitson14 · August 2010

bahaha

I want him to do a movie/series now where he acts his age though, so I feel less dirty thinking these thoughts.

Why dont I know who he is?

Puck from Glee.
