most off the wall interaction I had at work today was trying to walk someone through how to change their yahoo email password when they no longer have the number that they had associated with it anymore.

then being rude w/me when I told her that she would have to contact Yahoo because we cannot breach Yahoo's servers to recover her password.

her words were "can you not just get my password from Yahoo??" 😭

ma'am I'm trying to help you to the best of my ability. "Let me speak to a tech" ma'am I'm the only one here who still uses Yahoo and has an intimate knowledge of how to recover your password. I'm sorry you don't have the phone number on your account anymore but this is outta my hands.

So if TikTok is about to be unalived do I need to try to get my old (popular at the time) Destiel/Phan acct back?

Simfileshare

Hi everyone! It came to my attention that the second creator's Simfileshare account got hacked so checked mine. None of my files are affected, I secured my account with a new strong password. And all of my files are uploaded in .package format with a couple of exceptions. Please, be careful on the internet. Being hacked is no joke. 3 weeks ago my gmail account was hacked and all of my passwords and some credit card info got leaked on the darkweb. I have spent 3 weeks securing all of my accounts, dealing with charges to my Amazon and Ebay accounts, my website has been hacked and injected with malware (it is fixed, and I had to buy an extra protection by my hosting company), my credit card was charged by some organization in Dubai. Long story short, be vigilant with what you download, scan your computers regularly.

Just letting you know, it seems like your Discord account got hacked as well cause it’s spamming scam links in the IT Big Bang server

I'm gonna take this moment to inform everyone that my main Instagram was hacked, forcing me into deleting it, and NOW my discord had been hacked and got suspended, PLEASE REBLOG THIS TO EVERYONE, IF THIS BLOG RANDOMLY START POSTING SCAMS THAT'S NOT ME!

(I'm gonna try changing passwords or gmail)

guys I got mega mega hacked yesterday with remote control software. I suspect it piggybacked onto my computer from some video game mods I downloaded this summer, but my brother-in-law suggested it may have been lurking since I bought my laptop as a refurb from BestBuy over a year ago. The person was able to access both my emails and set up filters to hide the email alerts, my amazon, and make a third party charge with my credit card. Because they were using remote-desktop, I wasn't getting alerts about unuathorized sign ins, and they were able to skip 2FA phone alerts anywhere that email was supported for 2FA. Based on the filters they set, I do know they had 3 purchases planning and I interrupted before they completed the third (amazon, antonline, and pixel.)

I got a credit card text alert for the $1500 antonline order but thought it was spam, so I went to my computer to log in and check whether the alert was real, then watched with shock that someone had my secondary email open and was typing in a 2FA code and I had no control of the cursor. I immediately turned off my computer and used a different computer to go in and change passwords, flag fraud charges, lock down accounts and freeze my credit cards. After a period of time passed, we turned the other laptop back on and began running scans --we found remote desktop hackware, and 4 other "Severe" threat programs after running every type of in-depth scan possible. I spent the whole night changing every password and deleting old accounts and confirming 2FA to my phone specifically.

I had a home burglary years ago that caused lasting emotional trauma which this elbowed again. The fraud charges suck but it's the impact on my kids and the invasive feeling that sucks even more. Changing amazon email/password broke my kids' accounts on their tablets and the refresh wipes over a year of their game data, which is upsetting for them. There's the emotional stress of knowing these assholes had full unhibited access to my accounts but also to all my personal stuff --my writing, my family photos, my medical record logins. I know they don't care about those things but they where there.

If not for my husband telling me to check email filters, I would not have realized they accessed my gmail. Without the security checks, we would not have found the hackware and it would have kept happening without me understanding why.

Please use this as your universe reminder to review your passwords, run security scans on your computers, and make sure 2FA is set up for important accounts that cannot be bypassed if someone gets acess to your email. <3 <3 <3

1. Tubbo confirm himself in the clip that he only kissed her, to which she later confirmed it too. As pre the video

Tubbo made the video and She would confirm it AFTER the hacker had allegedly made the post.

Let me help you, hacker did their job -> Tubbo made the video -> She confirmed it. Then how did the hacker make such a lucky guess about what happened that night in Tubbo's house?

I didn't have to go past the first point for it. Didn't even use my two degrees on Physics. Can't believe what they are feeding these IT students these days ....

"HoW dId The HaCkEr MaKe SuCh A LuCky GuEsS?"

THE VIDEO IN QUESTION WAS FILMED WAS FILMED A YEAR AGO OF HIM AT A PARTY WITH HER, AND ALL HER FRIENDS AS THEY DRANK

My goodness it would take a genius to be like "Hey I'm making allegations that they both got drunk (as shown in he video from a year ago) and Tubbo S/A her while drunk"

To which they allegations never specified WHERE THEY WERE it only specified part they were at

So Tubbo, confused as fuck Tubbo, said they came to there place, kissed and then talked about Jazz

Them going back to Tubbo's place wasn't even in the original allegations

Bitch if I went to a party, got drunk, PUBLICLY POSTED ABOUT IT ONLINE, and then someone was like "(me) was harassed by xyz", I'D BE SO FUCKING DUMB BECAUSE THEIR EVIDENCE WOULD BE THE VIDEO FROM A YEAR AGO. WHY THE FUCK WOULD SOMEONE INCRIMINATE THEMSELVES

Now dear clear idiot. I shall explain how 2-step verification works and how it didn't work in this case. AhEm

1. 2-Step Verification is as it sounds, in which after attempting to log on to a platform, the platform holders will either send a text message (through phone number) , email/gmail/AOL (if your old), notification or another form of communication to ensure the person login in is actually, ya know, you.

2. 2-Step Verification became a thing on TikTok, official and refined, on February 2025 (very late tbh)

3. Your young people don't know that back in my day TikTok didn't exist. OMG HOW COULD THIS BEEE??? Because it was called Musicly before it rebranded to tiktok

And since Musicly was primarily a kids/teens/young adults app, who tf is hacking a child's account?? Ya know?

So up until before that point Musicly also didn't have 2-Step Verification. Which is important because that means this security measures didn't transfer over because they didn't exist

4. Listen Leandra is by no means old. But I will rest a hand on your shoulders when I say, Gmail was created in 2004

And if you were a kid/teen around that time, you were young enough to get a Gmail with your actual name, like full legal, government, on yo birth certificate name

Why this important? Because if your primary Gmail/email/AOL, if your full legal name or part legal name, then people have a higher chance of just guess your email or, putting down "forgot password", then linking it to their email address, getting the rights to change the password and then bam.

The only way this cannot happen is if you manual lock your Gmail to only known devices (but fr that takes to long ngl and plus you won't be able to work on something if you can't access the device that has the rights to your email and additionally if you lose that device then it's game over, try again, pack it tf up)

So if she made her Tiktok account via any of the emails, then it's done, sorted, etc...

4.1. Now let's say she made it with her phone number like Tubbo suggested.

You could gain access further:

Having the email/gmail/AOL be linked with your phone number as a contact/emergency contact (idk in what case Google would hit you up but they can ig)

Phising. Look it up. It's spelt with a PH but pronounced fishing. And it's much more common then you think

The most popular phone plan providers in the UK are EE and Vodafone, inwhich if you get a new SIM card in a new phone, you can call them to change the new SIM phone number back to your older on as I'd be more convenient. The thing is, literally anyone could call. Like anyone, all you really need is the either the email/gmail/AOL, or the make and model of the phone, to answer some relatively personal questions (which you can lowkey guess ngl), or live in the same area or they just say screw it and change the number. It's often very useful but THE MOST ANNOYING THING when someone tries to access your account, and depending on WHEN and WHERE you get the card they don't even send you a confirmation text because they assumed your the one calling.

But anyways, you'd only need to realistically find out the first few numbers of her phone number, if you went with this method, trial and error'd it till you got on that's active and you can at minimum text, then just straight up try to login in or call them.

This is a great time to mentioned that Snapchat is lowkey, unintentionally screwing people over with this, because you can check if someone has a Snapchat by their contact or trying to sign in with that phone number cause it'll say the numbers is already in use.

BUT ANYWAYS, it takes about 2-6 weeks to gain access to someone's phone number or Gmail/AOL/Email if they're born pre-2000s to early 2000s

My point being, you could just guesstimate her really name by putting it through bots, checking old posts, being in personal contact with them or like reallllyyyyy putting the effort into guessing

And this is why people are often told to regularly update or change both passwords, email/gmail /AOL password and even update their names to avoid this.

5. Leandra made her social media around 2023, for her official Lovejoy shenanigans, idk what they do tbh

And I'm in no way calling her old... But she's gotta be like minimum 2-6 years older then me putting her in the bracket of people who can get a G/E/AOL (I'm getting tired of writing I tbh) with their actual names

And since 2-Step Verification was a 2025 update on TikTok, it's likely that some people just don't have it because they're too lazy to update or set it up. But even then their are many ways to get around it.

I recommend looking at the BBC guide/explanation of multi-factor verification/ two step verification/ multi-factor verification: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5VbNf6z14LS7bZ02L1NXcjG/how-to-set-up-two-factor-authentication

And to Look at this BBC bitesize link if you want to know more: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zf3bcj6/revision/6

And 6. To follow up on some misconception that I know you're probably gonna throw at me because let's be real here you just hate Tubbo and that's okay. You don't need to justify it, just dislike him and be done.

Misconception 1. For some reason people are saying that her Instagram and Snapchat were also hacked. I don't know if she has a Snapchat because I don't use it, but as for Instagram it has been confirm by many update accounts, people who know irl etc... That the insta is fine!

Misconception 2. Tubbo kissed her. Hahahahhahashhsshshslolklolol. Tubbo is gay, and it's been confirmed by both parties that she kissed him first, and apparently he freaked tf out. Because he's gay. And has been openly gay for like 1-3 years. Bit weird to call him not gay for getting a kiss from one women. Like girl do you not kiss your mom? Tf? No kissing the homies? Terrible friend you are.

Misconception 3. Tubbo cleared the allegations as well as her after the allegations were out... Because how tf are you meant to clear something that's didn't exist?

Misconception 4. The hacker got a lucky guess. Now. Stay with me here. Go find an AI prompter and type 'man and women get drunk at part, write something criminal' OR just use your imagination because you know they're at the same party from a video a year ago. And I literally peeped into my older siblings room and asked them "real talk, a man and women get drunk at a party and leave together, they get to his place and something criminal happens, what is that criminal thing?" LITERALLY the first thing they suggested. Murder was second and tax evasion strats were 3rd.

And finally 7. This is too you. Yeah anonymous asker. You.

Just like DM me because as funny as it is to post about this on twitter and laugh with moots, your cluttering up my page with unnecessary discourse. But your not gonna see this, are you?

Because you, yourself said you didn't read past my first previous point. Sooooooooooooooooooooo

But also also ALSO, if she's confirmed it didn't happen and he confirmed it didn't happen, and she confirmed she was hacked, as shown in screenshots above and previously, then why is this still a talking issue?

SHE LITERALLY SAID SHE WAS HACKED. IT WASN'T HER POSTING??

Like if you gonna be mad at Tubbo be mad that he's idk fight Sapnap or something

But you seem more upset that I'm suggesting the hacker could POTENTIALLY be a gnf fan or Wilbur fan by the way they're uproaring on Twitter. Need I remind you, humbly and respectfully, IT'S FUCKING TWITTER??!

I keep people on the loop, I ain't asking for your what ifs ngl. questions? Welcome. Petty insults and challenge stupidity? Nope.

As you can see with MUCH of my covering discourse and discussion content on both Twitter and Tumblr, I put allegedly on thing that are not 90% to 100% accurate, I stick it on rumours and provide both links and screenshot to back up point because I want to be as honest as possible.

Bro if my favourite mcyt was an asshole I'd hold them too it. If my favourite vtuber was a bitch I'd hold them too it.

But I've provided ample evidence both in my first post and this post with detailed explanation, links and breaking it down into sections, I EVEN LINKED EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND EXPLAINED EMAIL LORE AND WHY MILLENNIALS ARE ACTUALLY QUITE OLD

Like it's done. It's over. You ignorance, lack of real world perception, common sense, and critical thinking skills has lead you to a pre-made conclusion that please you and not the actual one. So congrats. Wish I could be that stupid.

And for the record, I got a 100% in both GCSE coursework units on Information Technology, covering a range of different topics including cyber security, and scored a 90% on the test (trust it hurts your hand writing that much)

Furthermore, I backed it up with links, educational links and screenshots reinforcing literally what I said/how it applies.

Don't doubt my intelligence. Doubt your own suckerrrr

The idea behind email masking is simple. The masking service gives you a randomized address you can use as a decoy instead of your actual email. It can be a series of unrelated words, or a string of letters and numbers. When someone sends a message to the burner email, it will be automatically routed to your address without anyone knowing.

Providers include privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo’s Email Protection service, Firefox Relay from browser maker Mozilla, email service FastMail and independent services like Addy.io. The encrypted service Proton Mail offers email masking with its password manager and standalone SimpleLogin service. There are many others....

False solutions

There are other so-called hacks that you might have heard about.

You could set up a throwaway account with a free email service like Gmail or Yahoo. But it’s tedious to do this.

Some Gmail users add a plus sign and an extra phrase or combination of characters between their username and the @ sign. It helps track who’s sharing your address as well as filter messages.

But “from a privacy standpoint, that does nothing,” said Yen. “Because people can just simply take away the plus and get your original address.”

[workflowexpert]

If you lost access to your email tomorrow, what would you do?

Once upon a time, I used to think Gmail was fine for a business. It was free, easy, and setting up something more professional felt like a hassle. But I’ve seen firsthand what happens when that gamble doesn’t pay off.

One day… BAM. Locked out. No warning. No explanation. Just “suspicious activity detected”, and suddenly, access was gone. Every client email? Vanished. Every invoice? Trapped. Google support? Useless. Hours spent trying to recover the account, only to hit a dead end.

And it’s not just one unlucky case, I’ve seen entire businesses crumble because they relied on a free email account. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Here’s why it’s a terrible idea:

Big Tech doesn’t owe you anything.

If Google/Microsoft/Yahoo decides your account looks “suspicious,” they can shut it down. No warning, no appeal, no customer service to help you. You’re just… locked out forever.

Hackers LOVE free email accounts.

Guess what’s super easy to hack? A free Gmail. Brute-force attacks, phishing scams, leaked passwords, it happens all the time. And once they’re in? They can scam your clients, change your payment info, and pretend to be you.

They scan your emails.

Yeah, Gmail reads your emails. They call it “advertising data” but if you’re discussing contracts, finances, or literally anything private, do you really want some algorithm combing through that?

It makes your business look cheap.

Would you hire a lawyer with JohnDoeLawyer@gmail.com? Exactly. If you’re running a serious business, your email should look serious too.

What I wish I knew sooner:

✔️ The secure option: ProtonMail – encrypted, private, no data scanning.

✔️ The business option: Google Workspace / Microsoft 365 – same convenience, but with your own domain and actual security controls.

If you’re still using a free email, fix it before it’s too late.

Reach out if you have any questions!

Hello community, well you may be wondering why I stopped publishing Rivamika… The reason is that my Gmail account was hacked, and after a few days of fighting and recovering my account I have managed to recover and change my password on some linked sites such as Tumblr, Wattpad, etc. However, the damage has progressed so far that my YouTube and Twitter accounts are suspended and hacked. On Twitter I published my progress and other fanart that I don't publish on Tumblr… now they have told me that at the beginning of December they will delete my account… I will have to create another Twitter account but I will put my drawings on Pixiv and maybe also on VK… sure… little by little I will publish… Or it is also for my health, this month I will have eye surgery… the left one has more very high astigmatism to prevent it from advancing stronger and going blind… I will have surgery this month…

I will publish some Fanart, which I have saved and other improvements…. I hope for your support and understanding… From: JDrago Ackerman

Oh no I’m sorry your account got yoinked ;;

Im just going to go ahead and tell you that Discord Support is useless (my friends who got hacked gained little to no support in their situation).

If you left any credit card on your account FREEZE IT NOW.

Enable 2FA on any other account linked to your account as well. Who knows what the hacker might go for next

Okay the situation is under my control now. Thank you for your concern✨

Another Russian bot hack, just like last time my genshin acc got yoinked. My passwords were in chaos, my youtube was also messed up, and gmail too. My friends texted me through fb and told me my accs are sending them weird links...

Luckily I have friend and he know exactly what to do. Still the damages are irreversible, I got banned from several servers due to the spam links. *Sigh*

Be careful guys

[sudaca-swag]

my dad is currently having a meltdown bc he doesnt remember his passwords and is forcing my two brothers to help him hack his own gmail JAJWJEK

[gnarp-glarb]

I HACKED GNARP-GLARB HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

IMAIGINE GETTING HACKED XDXDXD TIME TO DOX GNARP GLARB LIVES IN [REDACTED] AND LIVES IN COUNTRY [REDACTED]!A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!REAL

gnarpglarb put the password and gmail in a box that was sent to me!!!111 dummy!!!!!!!!!

[thethinkingaurora]

Gmail is very annoying, like I could get hacked they’d do nothing but as soon as I change my password

Like they sent me 5 notifications, girl what are you doing????

[zoropookie]

Here's a fun fact and a confession, my dumbass created a Wattpad account when I was around 12 because a friend of mine said she and her friends had a group there and they talked using that (in our school we weren't allowed to create private groups with friends from the school in most chatting apps so for some reason they chose Wattpad???)

I, unfortunately, didn't have a gmail account or forgot the password for it back then so I literally went ahead and used my older brother's gmail to do so. And apparently Wattpad gets hacked sometimes and dunno they leak account passwords? Something like that. And since my brother is now a computer engineer student, he knows some websites and one of them shows him if his account gets hacked or leaked anywhere. Nevertheless, he gets mad and confused when he sees he got hacked again on Wattpad which he doesn't even know.

Why don't I do anything, you may ask.

Well...

I forgot his password...

I just know that some day, somehow someway, he will manage to get into that account and see the awful, inhumane things I read and I'm scared shitless but what can I do really?

Lesson of the day folks; never fucking use another person's gmail to create accounts for yourself especially if they are a family member as explaining it to a friend will he easier honestly and just in case never give others yours either. Or just consume things like fish to get B12 vitamins because I have horrible memory I literally read all this over like 5 times

-🌻anon

oh my god anon that sounds horrible 😭😭😭 i wish that there was this program where they can just delete it for you honestly because imagine you forget your pass and you’re just shit outta luck despite you wanting to delete it really bad!!! anyways, i assume everyone has read really dumb things on that app, i assure you it’s a common experience if it makes you feel better

and your brother knows you were a kid anyway …he cant be too mad
