I AM SO PISSED RIGHT NOW

[windandwater]

So after over 5 years, someone hacked my account on Gaia. I AM SO PISSED. The hacker also changed the name from 'windandwater' to 'waterandwind', as well as stole my Bunny Slippers, Ports and Angelic Mini Wings. They might've taken more but I can't tell SINCE I CAN'T GET INTO MY ACCOUNT

i have faith that you will get your account and slippers and ports back. :)

*hugs*

it will be a good christmas. ♥

*hugs back*

T_T I hope so. But this could take months. And Gaia tends to have the mindset of "you lost it? too bad buy it again". I could NEVER buy those items back again EVER. They're collectibles and have sentimental value.

*snugs*

That completely sucks. People can be really horrible. Still, I've got something I've been waiting for a good moment to give you, and if you'd like an early christmas present, let me know which account you'd like this sent to.

*snugs back!*

Awwwww Louise. T_T ♥ You're so nice. This really is sucky. I mean, I never felt afraid of wearing my pricey items before, but now I'm sure that's why I was targeted.

@_@ And you have a present for me? Really?

[girl_starfish]

I've had people been downright nasty to me when I've gone around in my older items, and was bidding on stuff, so I tend to play with my newer stuff more.

Yup! You'll understand when you see it. To Makino?

[girl_starfish]

Totally meant Yukino. Trade sent!

[windandwater]

I have no idea. But there's always been hacking attempts that I've been aware of, since Gaia shuts down your account for a 15 minutes if too many attempts are made to get in (i.e. wrong password). It was probably some kind of bot or script doing it.

Or someone was really determined to target me in particular, since I was wearing expensive items.

[mikkeneko]

Yeah, for a while a few months back I kept getting hack attempts as well. >E

[windandwater]

If you got a string of emails about repeated attempts to log-in, and they're shutting access to your account for 15 minutes, then yes, that's probably the brute force hacking bot.

gaia is fail -__- I hope you get a quick response and that they're willing to work with you to resolve this and not just... failing in general to do anything <3

[windandwater]

I hope I get a quick response, too. Two of my friends on Gaia are mods, but I don't think they can do much. I've already submitted a report and all.

[sukino]

Oh no! *hugs* If you need the Sep. 2003 letter to make money or soemthing tell me. You know I don't play anymore and don't really need it. <33333

Thanks, Pet. ♥ But I'm hoping that I get everything I lost back, and my account, too.
