Today I clicked on my recent posts and found a stupid add posted on my behalf on QL. I dont know how it happened but is it possible that somebody hacked my account (as I never log out) and posted the add just for fun/prank. Just wanted to inquire if u guys have had any such experience.

Wonder why would anyone even try to hack QL. for some QL usernames and passwords? A hacker has got to have some kinda motivation to hack. Rarely would a hacker try to hack a forum

I remember ccking who hacked into shadowcrew.com's forum and downloaded 7gb of the private chat and every damn message that was sent and received. ccking also got his share when his website's ftp server was hacked by shadowcrew members.

It is not easy to hack. Hacking a website means hacking the whole damn server.

Thats it for today on hacking

My husband also found he was approacehed through Monster.gulf for a fioctitious job in Benin for Oryx which is detailed scam with website, employment forms etc designed to collct your personal details to the point they can scam your bank accounts!

with DaRuDe and swissgirl.

User should logged out automatically once the window is closed.

And chat is a good idea instead of filling the database with good mornings every day.

always should be like this abcd1234

use any aplha and digit.

hackers got their own special dictionary but they dont have a cocktail dictionary.

Would be helpful,so we must not open treads or topics just to say *good morning*,*hello*,*how are you*,*good night* and others like this.

Cheers DaRuDe and have a nice day.

That's a feature - you are kept logged in until you press logout. This is pretty normal for websites...

If you use a shared computer, always remember to logout.

Apparently there is a bug or lets say an inconvenient feature in QL.

If one closes the window and even shut down the computer, member remains logged in and whoever uses that computer later can access the member account without any extra effort. Unless the QL member presses the "log out" key and makes sure he is completely logged out.
