Just a heads up to people who may display there email address in their skylines australia profile.

I just had a nice conversation with someone named (Josh),he was signed into my old msn email

([email protected])

I asked who it was using my account,he said his names Josh.

i asked how he got my email account,he said 'skylinesaustralia'

so i said he wishes he had a skyline,then he said he has a GTR.

probly just some young tosser playing games.

so just a head up to fellow skyliners.

i suggest not displaying your email.

P.S in no way am i blaming SAU.com

the account was hacked before my pc was just recently repaired.

so just letting you know there are tossers about.

Haha you run MSN of course you're up to getting exploited.

Patch yourself, change your passwords and use a firewall is about as good-er advice as I can give without being overly specific/prescriptive :blush:

Oh and be weary of using netbank on the same PC unless you're sure you don't have spyware.. you may be running a zombie network client.

Yeah ofcoarse. You can never really be 100% secure.

Norton will protect you from major vulnerabilities, but not fake webpages and stuff.

I'm still not quite sure how your account got hacked off SkylinesAustralia though? It's not as if the guy found your email off SAU and then hacked it cause he physcially found your email off here.

It just doesn't reall make sense. You would think if someone could 'hack' emails they find off websites, they would just hack their friends because they already know them?

I don't think I've caught the jist of what you mean?
