Hackers? Not Sure I'm Buying It - EDIT: Confirmed A Hoax
12 years ago
So there have been a ton of journals popping up about a hacker apparently invading accounts, blocking friends, and causing friends to block you by acting like a fucknugget, until you're eventually banned.
I'm not 100% on the truth regarding this, because:
A: Any requests for proof of this hacker, or examples of banned/affected accounts have come up empty.
B: There have been no postings by FA Admins, Dragoneer, or by Fender regarding this. And if it was THAT big of a thing, I'm sure someone would have said something.
So yea, taking it with a grain of salt to be honest until I see otherwise.
EDIT: As I suspected, it's all a hoax.

As admins I am sure can see IPs and any ban could be resolved by going to them and stating as such you were hacked.
It just sounds like someone made a BS journal to allow them to troll some of their friends/watchers with a possible way to avoid a ban and it spread.
Thing is, shouldn't it be extreemly easy for admin to see if you're hacked while making these BS posts/blocks? They already record your IP here My FA > site security > active sessions (and) activity logs.
-Said no actual hacker ever
