My Nairaland Account Has Been Hacked!! by matri6: 3:51pm On Dec 24, 2022
Hello pls nairalanders,
This might sound funny but I ain't joking...
I woke up today trying to access my main nairaland account, I realized that I've been logged out, then trying to log back in with same password I've been using all these while, it says that the password is incorrect..
Then I tried to check on the profile on another account, I realized that most of the personal information has been corrupted just like in the picture I posted below...
And the issue is that I've forgot the email I used to open it the. It's quite a long time.
.
Pls any soln to this?

I got over 20 monikers sending me mail at the same time. I knew something is fishy. I tried to check their profiles, then I realized all the monikers got similar "personal text" and "signature".

Hope you didn't click on reply message?

Omo same thing happened to me ooh.. I suddenly got different moniker sending me messages and I was like, who be all these ones and didn't get any messages when I checked my emails.

I think this person does it through that personal messages they send you.

Don't reply any messages, just ignore.

Okay.

Best option is to stop replying to emails like that.

You probably input your login details into that "imgur something" page that usually pop up when you open a new thread

Novices are vulnerable. For many years, I have seen this malware on nairaland. I just type an insulting password(not my real password) to bypass it.

Seun are you aware of this? It's becoming too common on Nairaland as if there's an official stamp to it?

I once got multiple email request from them. Normally I check the profile of who sends request, I checked theirs and noticed the similarities and never responded.

PhenomenalMorgan:

How did you do that
Recovery email was sent to the email I used to open it... I actually forgot nthe email I used.
So, I go on and check the "spam folder" of my emails, then I saw it in one of them
