Term: Maggot. Is a what most hacker's call their Victims since they are just learning about the world and just a wee wittle worm. We also call them n00bs, lamers, and other words Mark, patsy, and smacktard.
FACT: A Hacker can discover your identity by using telnet
• Yes, but why would be put themselves in a easy place where they can be caught by federals. But this method is uncommon but can be done. All they need to do prompt the scripts to make sure you are unaware you are being spied on. This method they wait it out and wait to see what information you enter in your computer when you log into Gaia, myspace, etc. The Odds of your bank account being hacked is as the same odds in how many times you have used your Password in different accounts with a same pattern.
EXAMPLE:
Gaia Member: John Doe
Password: Joker7
neopets Member: John Doe123
password: Joker7
TCF Bank: John Doe
Password: ****** <----This site makes it impossible for hackers to see what you are doing cause it has a different VeriSign Security D-Base.
With this pattern We can assume his password is Joker7. Or; joker7, j0k3r7, j0ker7 and many other ways we all can think of. Now This is a matter of time. Or just simply getting into their hotmail account or Yahoo.
Let's Watch John Doe again To See where else he is going. We know he likes Neopets and Gaiaonline. maybe he has a Sonia Account as well or plays Maplestory.
Yahoo.com Member: John_Doe2008@yahoo.com
Password: ****** <----Uh Ohhhh! Well It could be Joker7
7 minutes later an Email is sent to him.
From: dishonest_Dick@GMAIL.com
To John_Doe2008@YAHOO.COM

oddly enough you exam this and see if its a fake which is obviously is. But then you will see a Paper Clip with your subject. This is certainly unwise to click on or even check with their virus scanner.
The best thing to do with this is delete it. John Doe Didn't know so he has allowed more entry for the hacker for Neopets.com Now his target is GaiaOnline.com But he has to work on this for maybe another hour to a day.
Next: The hacker will look anywhere for your information Birthday, Family, etc. Now a days Myspace.com is the #1 Source for maggot information. This way they can find their BDay, their friends and other maggots to feed upon. There they will find Cel Phone Info And 75% of all Cel Phone Accounts are the Area Code, followed by the prefix and suffix (John Does is 555-555-5555)<---Wonder what the Hacker wants this for? for those who are into money they will use this for your banking info or ways to scam you via phone with Text Messages as well.
Now The hacker has found out his computer is slower than usual. And that would only mean that the hacker has compromised his computer and is spying on him. (The only way to know you are not being spied is to check your firmware if you are using DSL, CABLE, or Satellite) This means the hacker knows his IP Address now. And will now wait for a simple slip up.
WWW.GAlAONLINE.COM <-----Hmm What the hell? The I in GAIA is different but he doesn't know that. He clicks and says that he is leaving Gaia but then assumes that Gaia is glitching out again so he goes ahead.
Now Everyone here Something we all can Interact NowGo to
GAlAONLINE.COMNow we are well aware of my site www.gaias-batweasel.com But what is that? It's a Prompting FTP asking for UserName and Password: Obviously if you are smart you WON'T PUT IN YOUR PASSWORD or YOUR USERNAME.
You see this is what the hacker wants To 100% of the time to enter your username and password. O_o Now this is odd it says I am not Authorized to...Maybe I made a mistake...No That is what the hacker wants you to think. After this You may have filled my List of Fake Names and Passwords And You will realize that If I have a list of Usernames that are Real, It will be immediately Deleted before I even bother clicking. So Please don't use your username.
Now this is one of the Ideas of hackers use. plus They Do Know you, and odds are they you do and don't.
Myth: You Won't have to accept a connection.
•This is true, they can simply just prompt your connection so you will not realize that you are being watched.
FACT: Changing your passwords will make it harder for hacker's to obtain information from your accounts.
•Obviously you are making it harder and time is money to them. And they won't waste their time.
☼TIP☼ For sites such as Banking or a Account with a SmallBusiness like yahoo.com Domain Name Accounts. Use 2 Different Passwords. Mine are related to StarTrek and Roleplaying Games from the 90's And my Bank Account Info is related to the Circles of Hell. ^^ Now you may have guessed it but you will fail since It is wise to have a Password that is Alpha Numeric meaning its mixxed with Numbers and words (h1_bby1). Also abbreviations are good too. so full words are easy but abbreviations are harder to obtain.
Myth: They are always watching you.
• They have other things to do if you are already have enough security to be considered a risk to them. Also These Hackers that are young have nothing else better to do but watch so pretty much the Gaia hackers are young are retarded to my lineage.
FACT: Deleting Cookies, History, etc can reduce your odds of being hacked.
• te;mp% Add this to your Run Window, located by pressing your Windows Key and then Pressing R. Make sure you have everything Closed and works better if you log off and log back in. This is the sure fire way that everything gets deleted. And Yes, you can delete all of it. If you speak english then you won't need those clutter txts cause they will come back when regardless.
Myth: Hacker's are people you don't know.
• These people are either friends, family or people you see online. There is no Just Things As a Coincidence when you are hacked and you just met 5 new friends or One of the 25 is no longer online for over 30 days. Remember friends online are as dangerous as Strangers in the street. Meaning you can talk to them but it is best to mind your own.
Cr@ck0r/cr@ck3r is a term that the person doesn't hack just figures out your password out of just stalking or lurking from you They could have done something like i mentioned before but they do no hacking or compromising with your computer.
Now To avoid such things from happening to you In Gaia.
Make all PMs Friends Only Or Make Sure sigs are disabled.
Know the Colors. If they are Green, Blue, or Yellow they are friendly Fellows. if they are Plain and Black. You'll get hacked.
Newbie Clothes are the same way of knowing their ranks in gaia. Starter Clothes are Barely any clothes means they are new or they created a new account so their original won;t be banned.
My limits of accepting friends are All Friends must be in Gaia for over 9 Months, and have at least 10k of Clothing. This means they have been playing for some time now. Also Now with zOMG It's either That or must have a Item from zOMG that is higher than 5k.
There are many other topics such as these now in Gaia Forums. Check the Q&A and other places like that to know what gaia has to offer in protecting you from hackers and scammers
FACT: Scammers are not Hackers
• If anyone requires to talk to you to get you. Then they are not hackers. But this makes you gullible.
