    It's been years since I've been here, but does anyone have ANY idea who the hell put a cookie grabber in their gallery/shop/whatever and decided to get a crapload of people's accounts frozen??

    I know people like to take the easy route in making neopoints but what the frig is the point hacking into people's accounts like this and having it spread like a damn virus?

    Any ideas anyone??

    What TOTG meant was that we're not even allowed to post the code of a CGer.
    If we want to use one, it's our problem, but you won't find the code here, nor accounts gained from such method.
    We're not a hacking community.

    I'm glad to see that this forum has kept up it's standards! I hope they catch whoever caused this because it's quite pointless!

    80 mil? Wow. No wonder they do that. I see illegit neopoints go for at least $4 a mil. That'd be $320, you could make a living off that, though I doubt it'd be easy to sell that much that quick. Lots of people hate neo though as well, and they might just be trying to mess it up or bring it down, not that it'd happen.

    An account with a sap (Super attack pea) & a T-tear in there trades was hcg`d a few days ago,...

    One nights work^^^ + the othe accounts they grabbed that night,, bet they got close to one billion

    I didn't see the gallery and shop one..

    I did, however, see an awesome one that was like www.neopets.jp or something. They got like 20 accounts from each board, then went on the accounts they just got and started posting the link again. TNT were chain-icing accounts like mother-bitches.

    ...just a question, does this acutally happen that people are able to put cg'ers in their usershop/gallery?
    I mean the filters block just about anything when you put code in there, that would have to be a really nice workaround

    Yup. Apparently, TNT changed something and it meant that people were able to exploit gaps in the security and hence were able to stick up a load of CGers on user lookups, etc.

    First there was a way to put coding on the neopets boards, so the scammer would make a topic and when you clicked the "reply" box at the bottom you would be cg`d.

    Then there were userlook up cgr`s.

    Then there were the shop cgr`s, where the scammer would put a codestone in his shop for 1np and everyone went to that shop and got cg`d.

    The latest one is to put a cg`r in your gallery, then mail rich famous people saying would you swap you trades for anything in my gallery...

    And after the scamming account is frozen the cger stays in the gallery!

    wow, thats alot of cg'ing :D

    I still don't cg though.

    My view is if they are dumb enough to fall for the scam, they deserve it. But CG'ing is like scamming on steriods. You can be smart and get CG'd, but only dumb people get scammed. I consider CG'ing to basically be considered hacking.

    Cookie grabbing is actually against the law, unlike normal *scams*

    Trust me, I am scam educated. I'm not some kid going "oh lookie, free points on a site that i shouldn't click on but because i'm selfish, ill click on it now and cry about it later."

    I don't even know WHEN it happened to me, to be honest. Then someone told people not to go to my gallery because it was CGer.. so who the hell knows how long I've been accidentally infecting people.

    I really hope my account gets returned. I put a lot of work into it. 95% legit, too.


    I hope the CGers get caught and get's punished to the max.

    I can't really see anything harsher than an ice for them. Unless they are reported to the police or something that had to do with breaking the law :tehe: Lol, what if Neopets filed a case against them?

    Then the CGers better be using a good proxy. After reading about all those CGers, I felt lucky for never looking at galleries, never going into others peoples shops, not caring about other people's lookups and stuff.. :D

    It really depends.. I can see Neopets being sued by a mass amount of users because of this and then they'd have to choice but to press charges against the culprits.

    These people broke the law, at least in the U.S. and breached security through a loophole.
