Really? And how did you find out?
I'm asking because late July or early August I was also sort of "hacked" for the first time in my 20 years online life.
What happened is that I got an e-mail thanking me for my Amazon.com review of a sex pillow… WTF? I usually only shop at Amazon.de and .uk and haven't had a need for a "sex pillow" -whatever the hell that may be- yet
.
I usually would have deleted the mail as spam but it looked very real so I logged into my Amazon account (NOT by following a link from the e-mail, of course) and -sure enough- there was an actual review of a sex pillow under the 'My Account' settings. I deleted the review and changed my Amazon password immediately.
I was definitely wondering how someone could have gotten into my AMZ account and I was kind of thinking that maybe it had to do with the Windows 10 upgrade that I did that week because that was the only notable change at the time.
However, in light of the RPGWatch hack… hmmm… maybe my password was stolen from here(?) because my AMZ and RPGWatch password were the same at the time of that weird AMZ review.
Now, if one of the site admin's passwords was stolen as well that might explain how they got into the server and deleted everything including the backup, no? Are the RPGWatch forum passwords protected/encrypted/"salted" in any way?
Finally: Truth be told, I do/did not exactly have a high security password here on RPGWatch/AMZ. It is/was all lower case and only six letters long so maybe my AMZ account was simply brute-force hacked and there was no connection between the hacks at all.
What's strange though: Why only post a sex pillow review on a hijacked AMZ account? As a successful hacker, I would have ordered a couple phat TVs, phones and tablets instead
