How could someone hack into my Fluther?
I just noticed an alert for the post about what to name a black cat. I was confused because I never wrote a comment in that thread but yet it alerted me. So I searched through the thread to find that I (but it wasn’t me) left a comment about having a cat named midnight. That wasn’t me. I never had a cat named midnight! How could someone hack into my Fluther? Do you think they have other personal information also? I’m worried…How do I protect myself?

Here is the thread I’m referring to.
You could have just pressed the: ‘Follow this question’ button on accident.
Sounds like a question for Our Founders. Why don’t you go to the blog and ask them?
:::::::edit::::::
Yikes! Did someone have your phone?
Oh, wait (sorry it’s late). There was an answer left behind you didn’t write? Better get in contact with the mods and see if they can do anything with the IP. Are you sure you didn’t forget to log out of a public computer, or your fiancé is just messing with you?
@markyy And posted a comment that I don’t remember? And lied about having a cat named midnight? Not likely.
Well I’m on my iPhone. Anytime I use the Internet I’m using it from my phone. Is that unsafe? It wasn’t my fiancé. He’s freaking out on me. We’re worried my bank info could be hacked now too.
@ItalianPrincess1217 Yeah just noticed that, you wouldn’t be on any medication would you ;) But definitely get into contact with our Fluther gods (and be sure to change your email password just to be safe).
Your bank details should be safe. You don’t bank from the phone, I assume?
@markyy Thats what I was thinking! I had to ask myself at first “Ok think really hard. Did you write that while drunk? Tired? Crazy? Nope. Definitely not.”
Yes I do bank from my phone…The AT&T rep said it was fine to do so. Maybe I shouldn’t have believed her? I’m not overly concerned about my banking. I have zero dollars to my name. My fiancé handles finances. So if they hack that, they’ll be disappointed.
That’s really bizarre. DrasticDreamer had her thread hacked not long ago too. Here is the thread.
@ItalianPrincess1217 Well, hopefully the mods will be able to see the IP it was posted on, and hopefully it will be the same IP as you are usually on (not sure if the iphone has a static IP though, anyone knows?). If it’s a different IP someone might have gotten access to your email (Fluther sends your account details to your mail, right?), so be sure to change that first.
@holden In DD’s case it was a jealous boyfriend (and this was done also via email), in this case the fiancé already confessed it wasn’t him.
Ohhh man! Funny story. It was my mother. I signed into Fluther once on her computer and it never logged me out. So she commented on a question without realizing it was my username. Thank God!
Boyfriend, mother, wonder what it’s going to be next time :) Still sounds a heck of a lot better than a hacker though.
@markyy I’m okay with it being my mom. Much better than a hacker! And she got a good laugh out of the situation when I informed her I had frantically changed all my passwords.
Oh wow, your mum is on fluther too? My fluther world is my dirty little secret that I share with no one else that knows me. My special Fluther world, MINE!! * breathe *
@Rachienz No that was the first time she had ever been on Fluther. I guess she wasn’t aware she was logged in under my name. She just seen the site and said to herself “Oh! This is the site my daughter is always talking about. Maybe I’ll check it out!” She’s too funny.
And of course she went straight to the pussy thread! This could have ended much, much worse :p
More to the point, how do I find that question because I wanna answer it!
(Is it possible someone has your password?)
She woke up the next morning, empty bottles spread around the chair as she tried to erase the keyboard marks etched inediby in her face, wondering what she had written, and where, the night before…
@NewZen You are my sunshine, my only sunshine….
@Val123 You make me happy, when skies are grey – hey – just wrote a spur of the moment poem – wanna see it?
@NewZen No, no! We’re on a roll! Let me get the next line!...._thinking, tinking on the piano—“You’ll never know dear, just how much….” ugh. Lost my inspiration. Hep me!
Hep me I think I’m falling, in love at last.
Aw hell. I got it in my head, can’t pull it out…ergah. One more line, please…initials. Something!
With a paperclip and a rubberband .. It’s probably Macguyver !
