A hacker tried to steal from us!

Blastbux and Nomincashout are, apparently, run by this same Andrew Miles. If you haven't already done so, you need to immediately inform PayPal of this unauthorised transaction and to change your PayPal password. Change it to a secure password, different from any password that you use anywhere else. It should preferably be 8 characters or longer, not a 'dictionary' word or one that might be guessable by anyone who might have any information about you and include upper and lowercase characters and numbers. It should also NEVER be written down anywhere or given to unauthorised people and should, of course, be unique - especially if it protects your PayPal account or bank details. There are several ways of making a very secure password. One of the best I have seen is to take a phrase of 8 words or more that is well known to you and to use some simple rules to create a password as follows: Let us say that you chose Nelson's message to the fleet at Trafalgar: England expects that every man should do his duty. Taking the initial letters, you get: eetemsdhd. To make it harder to guess (and also much harder to steal if anyone happens to watch you type it), change some of the letters to upper case (passwords are always case-sensitive): EeTeMsDhD or eeTemSdhD. This might be quite a strong password but you can make it even stronger by substituting numerals for some or the letters. A common way of doing this is to use lookalikes: 1=lowercase L or I, 2=Z, 3=E, 4=A (or F), 5=S, 6=lowercase B, 7=L (upside down), 8=B, 9=g or q, 0=o. This might give you, for example 33T3m5dhD. You might think that this is impossible to remember but it is easily broken down into 3 groups of three characters and, since you know the code you used in the first place, can be reconstructed if you do forget it. You can, of course, use a word known to you and apply the same principles: The phrase 'kamusta ka' would be very insecure, of course, but write it as 'k4Mu5TaK4' and it would take a while to guess, even if someone knew the phrase. Take some time to make some secure passwords. Write them down, if you wish, on paper that you keep somewhere safe in a way that might not be obvious to anyone reading them.

I symphatize with you! I was also a victim of this hackers and i really hate them also. They are more than a theift because they donot stole only information or your money but they stole your identity and all the info about you. I hope that someday there will be an international law that will punished all those hackers.

Wow I am so sorry that you got hacked. I hate hackers as well. My paypal and ebay account were hacked once. Paypal took care of everything and I got the money back but it was a pain. I had to change everything from my credit card number to my passwords to everything. I wish you guys luck trying to fix everything.
