Hi all,

Normally I surf NZFF on my own computer, but this afternoon, when I entered the NZFF URL on my Dad's computer and looked at the online users list, I saw something that shocked me:
user posted image

My name was on the active users list, but I had not been online since much earlier in the morning, and think someone must have hacked my account

There are no saved password cookies on this PC I am on now, and I was a browisng guest at the time I took that screenie. I logged on in the usual way, and I am here writing this post myself now, but if you see any other posts by 'Trolly' that don't appear to be written in my usual manner- then it's not me... :unsure:

oh ok well you came on at around 2pm or just before and where looking at rnzaf aircraft. and then i had a nana nap ..so you or not nothing was posted just a posts removed in that time between then and now 2:47pm
also does that mean they would have been able to use admin tools as well ??and mod

Mod but not admin as Trolly is no longer one.

Easiest thing to do to secure your account imho would be to change your password.

EDIT; Its not possible that you left your browser open at NZFF on your PC is it?

no i dont think he did as ive been on all day watching life go bye and he only came on 18mins before he posted this coment ,so i think its just one of those things , there was nothing abnormal about the movments of anyone today ,only me :lol:

so my guess its just logged in by itself some how ,mine does it when i dont want it to sometimes the passcard just fills it out etc....

Sorry guys, it looks like I over reacted a bit today, with all the forum security buisness going on at the moment.

As suggested, I have changed my password on the safe side, and have had no troubles for the rest of the day here, so all is well

Its not possible that you left your browser open at NZFF on your PC is it?

I don't think so, as the only other time I have needed to use my Dad's PC was when I was having trouble with my DVD drive booting up. When I logged in up there, I did not tick 'remember me' as I did not think I would be using his PC again, but needed to this morning with my mouse scroll wheel playing up.
