For Brazilians, online games are srs bsns.

All I got was abuse. Do I have to return that?

How dare he say I whine a lot. I want the scoundrel found and flogged!

I didn't get anything (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
It seems the perpetrator knows you well? or not

I returned the stuff that was sent to me last night so the hacker probably sent them on to someone else. I believe it was 361 mid grade leather.
I hope you get everything sorted.

The guy also seems to read HV threads quite frequently, still have no idea why though...

This was a pretty good read, sorry about your troubles skillchip. Hopefully you get your stuff back soon.

That's cause most people don't know the meaning of pranks and jokes anymore. Ruing something of someones or hurting them is not a prank or a joke.

sums it up well

True, Hell some time back, just someone was joking around about hacking me.
I gone off on the mother fucker (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Also (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I have seen that one before.
My Husband watch's him a lot on youtube on his xbox.
RayWilliamJohnson has a lot of funny shit (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Also, please don't send back things to him for now (if you're so kind). His account's still hacked.

When I read this, I thought I had committed a terrible mistake in just sending the things back for a moment.

No, i am back

Removed.

I didn't notice what actually happened. *facepalm

I have gotten tired of being such an ass and decided to help who needs it.

Returned the bindings I received.

A few things have been bugging me for a while:

1) All portions of this site rely on the same pair of cookies for authentication
2) The HV bounce/redirect uses a simple HTTP GET with the ID and pw hash

Compromising someone else's account is a disturbingly easy task, given the right circumstances.
I'd mention other details, but this isn't the right place for such comments.

tl;dr: tinfoil hats should always access the forums via https and not fap/play the silly game while using public/unencrypted wifi

What's the downside of using https? I mean, if there were only advantages it would simply be the default protocol everywhere, right?

You need to sign up for a certificate. And it's not cheap.

Plus, it's additional overhead.

Wait, but just by clicking in his link I'm already in "https" mode, right? I never signed up a 'certificate'.

edit: Oh got it, that was stupid of me. Stupid. Really stupid.

The site owner needs to have one, not the end user.
For end users it just a bit more over head to use HTTPS.

Signed SSL certificates aren't free and are provided on a per-domain/subdomain basis.
That's $50+ per year per domain. One for the main site, the forums, galleries, etc.

Since information is encrypted, it consumes more server resources to perform the encryption. Noticeable for a high-traffic site.

More importantly, if a page is encrypted, some browsers expect the assets (images, CSS, JS) to be provided via SSL as well.
This can cause issues (especially with the galleries and H@H), but a simple workaround is to only force SSL on certain parts of the site.

Basically: (HTTP) main page -> (HTTPS) login page -> (HTTP) rest of the site

There's also the issue of having your certificates expire and service disruptions. This recently happened to [blogs.msdn.com] Windows Azure.

tl;dr: too much work

it's too bad

i will send back the Crystals when i have them

I will send it back when your account is alright.
