The other day I noticed my mini had a mad face on. It took me by surprise since I dont ever save that feature on her. I changed my pw just in case. Then yesterday I opened up an email from pogo about a contest i supposedly entered. I had never entered any contest with my tokens. (i am token selfish) Again I changed my pw. I dont know how anyone could have gotten my pw. I have never given it out. I also have firewalls and good antivirus. Can anyone else explain why this is happening to me?

I am sorry this has happened to you.  I don't know how someone could be getting your password.  Do you also use something to remove spyware?

I am sorry but I don't know.  I am sure someone may have an answer for you soon.  Your avatar is very cute btw.

Corinne

Well thank you anyway and thank you for the compliment on the avatar... I call him Kermit the Cat! LOL ;D

It seems that it may be a glitch in Pogo. It's already happened to me twice that when I sign out for the evening and come back the next morning and sign in with my screen name and password, someone else's account comes up. I don't know if Pogo is doing this to see if we'll mess with the other person's account or what. I immediately log out of that account and log back into mine and it's ok. Luckily I haven't had it happen to me in reverse (that I know of anyhow). Each time that it has happened, I change my password.
Other than what has happened to me, I don't know what to tell you.

cranky

maybe thats what happened to my account...i guess i am lucky that all they messed with was my minis facial expression and the one drawing... Hmm i didnt even notice any tokens were missing. Must not have entered too many times!!!

You'd be suprised how much information (screenname/password, personal info, etc.) can be obtain without really putting that much effort into if you're a hacker. Really, that only occurs if you have enemies, and you don't seem like the kind of person who would.

my fiancee said that someone could have put a key logger on your computer..in other words to check what you type ..pw sn, web sites and so on.... not that it helps you any but that is what it sounds like

I had a so called 'friend' that put one of those on my computer,  I found it and I was pissed to say the least.  It catches everything that you type!........  I wish I could remember what that file was called, but I think there are a lot of those out that. I do not think that spy ware will catch them either.  I do not know that to be fact tho?........
