RE: Have you ever been hacked?

in Ask the Hive2 months ago

Okay so like 20 years ago a college buddy of mine specifically told me to not eat his leftover pizza... but I took that as a challenge and totally ate the leftover pizza. In retaliation he hacked my AIM Instant Messenger account by saying I had "lost my password" to recover it. Back in those days OPSEC was trash so America OnLine would literally email you your old password in plain text.

Ironically, my password back then was "hacker5261".

With access to this password he was able to get onto my computer and plant 'evidence' that I was cheating on my girlfriend with an ex. The evidence in this case being a hand-drawn picture using Microsoft Paint being set to my background image on my PC. I'll leave it to your imagination, but rest assured it was pretty funny.

From that day forward I vowed I'd never again be hacked.
Let's just say I'm glad that Hive account recovery is a little better than AOL IM.
