skype was 'borrowed' and i mean hacked :/
10 years ago
hey everyone just wanted to put this up. at some time around 2:47 or so am today on jan 21 my skype was apparently hacked into.
the person who did it tried changing my passcode and then sent links to everyone on my list to some ad spam sight.
for the record i like everyone to know that 1. i was completely asleep the whole time this happened i had gone to bed at 1 am so i couldn't send out these messages.
and 2. i like to still say sorry to everyone who is on my skype list who had one of these stupid and bloody retarded messages.
now onto better news, i have had my anti virus and malware programs run though and as far as i can hope they have cleared out my laptop of any of this and on top of that i have changed my passwords for both my microsoft account and my skype account to a password that is hopefully a great deal harder to even consider or try doing this again.
felt like giving you all an update cheers.
Silky.

Also hi my favourite Canadian from EF you probably don't remember me but I think you're awesome. c:

Perform a virus check with your scanner, use rkill if you don't already have it, you can google it on bleeping computer .com to get it.
Clear your skype cookie history and go into options under tools/options/advanced/manage other programs access to skype.
Double click that and make sure it is empty or at least that there is no service you don't trust on it and save changes.
scan with malwarebytes if you do not have that, and you should be okay. I don't think it was anything to do with a virus however, I think they may have just phished your old password or brute forced it.
I have a feeling that all of these account break ins are from one long list of compromised passwords and such things.
