Memberthis thread probably end up being locked.
No talk of hacking, and apart from that I can’t understand what you’re actually trying to ask?

MemberI am not sure mself Freddy but it sounds to me like he was talking with someone and the person hacked his password…
the person could have been using magic password stealer perhaps…unfortunately it has been spreading bad lately. otherwise its possible that you have dl’d a keylogger or trojan of some sort…i recommend you start with a trojan scan and run an ad removal program such as spysweeper or pest patrol. for the trojan scan http://www.trojanscan.com/ and if you need help getting a spy/adware program contact me through email please. To learn more about internet security and passwords I recommend http://security.yahoo.com/ If you can still access the account I strongly recommend you change that password as quickly as possible upon doing these scans.March 8, 2005 at 3:09 pm #80932lebeau14remy

anyone know about it.hmm… there’s only two ways i cud think of that he used to do that… one, is that he sent a password stealer that he bind to another program of file… has he sent u any file or program? another way wud be if he ran a key logger on ur pc… if he knew ur password, he cud open ur ym and list ur friends in ur friends list… get it? i suggest never to accept any file from anybody thru net… tc!

MemberOr by another method as I discussed here in this (https://bigblueball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29237) topic. But I hope you wont try it or anything. This is just for your own security, not to use for personal purpose.
