last night about 9pm i had my paypal account hacked into.

it was weird as they were drawing about 400gbp (AU$815) out of my account every couple of min and then also someone else deposited $8000us into my account. luckily i was on my pc at the time and rang paypal to sort it out. i dont know how they got my details to hack into it as i check my pc for viruses and nothing. i also havent used paypal for months. since then ive had to shut down my bank accounts and now have to change shit i wouldnt normally do.

seems like its a money laundering scheme from one country to another but tryin to invole me into it. the only way i knew about this was the fact that paypl was sending me emails and they just started rolling in. some of the maney even was forwarded onto skype. i dont even have a skype account so WTF???

pplz plz beware this may happen to u.

can I ask where you use the paypal at ?,ebay or ?.... some setup phony web pages that use the same looks as ebay etc. then capture your details that way,

or screen/key capture software , see's all and is invisible to the average users. even the standard virus scanner and MS defender wont find it to clean it.

you need serious scanners to find and remove. the one I use for Vista/XP is actually off the hackers Mag DVD, Twister,, finds everything you can imagine and fixes it. but not for the average person to use.

watch out , check to see if your browser is on HTTPS not HTTP when you log into secure sites ? the S is for secure or at least attempt at secure...lol

nothing is safe , just use common sense and and pay attention to things like that

do not click on links or open files from anyone unknown or Scandy..lol

sucks mate, hope the nigerian drug son of rajab doesn't screw you

Out of curiosity...

Same password for Paypal, Ebay?

Do you use the same password for various forums or sites you sign up to?

IMO using an email address to sign in to a financial website is a major security risk.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
