Pogo Steve

[Blue Aquarius]

So I went into a Word Whomp Whackdown room today looking to play some games, and there was pogo Steve.  I thought ok he is looking into banning ppl for using autos in here since these rooms are the worst for accusations.  Well I was wrong.  Apparently some peoples accounts were hacked into over night.  3 people were in there complaining about how their accounts were hacked into and how they lost all their tokens.   :o  I wonder if it's because people gave out their pw?  I didn't think ppl could hack into other ppl's accounts on Pogo?

There are afew ways for someone to access your account. One of them is to give your sn and password to so called badge helpers another would be to post a link from pogo to a public forum while being logged in. ;)

I had the same problem with my tokens coming up missing so I sent a letter to pogo tech support about it...this is the respose I got:

I don't know if that was the case or not.  In chat with Steve in the room they were telling everyone how their accounts were hacked into and how Steve was looking into it for them.  Steve also popped into the room 5 or 6 times in the time frame I was in there.  I looked at their stats to see if maybe people had wiped out their badges, but they had all their badges.
