Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Well, the CD that I was antcipating to get for so long has finally arrived at my Doorstop. None of you can probably guess it, besides Cody. Yup, I finally got the Secret and Whisper album, Great White Whale. I've been listening to it ever since. I just never get tired of it. Now I know what Cody meant, when he said the whole album was awesome. I share his same opinion, really. It's been... forever... since I've heard a CD I enjoyed through the end.

Oh yes, and the bad news. I've been hacked. Freaking HACKED.
Hm, I suppose you're all wondering what happened? I know some of you couldn't care less-- But too bad! I'm telling anyway...

Alright, it all happened last night. After I watched the hour of Naruto that's on every saturday night, I got bored and decided to log on to Gaia, and got some weird message:

...Now something like this clearly freaked the crap out of me and I was like: "Wait... What'd I do? Ah well, better not ignore this..."

So, I entered the following information, and *poof* submitted it. Hell, it seemed logical to me. Since I never ever ever recieved anything like this, I thought it was pretty serious. And the next day, I attempt to log on. Again, and again. Niether my password or my username was working. The first thought in my head was obviousy: Holy crap, was I banned, or something?

Appearently not.

So I somehow managed to change my password, and with a sigh of relief, logged on. And that sigh instantly turned into a gasp of horror. Money: Gone. Items: Gone.


So in other words, this weekend turned out awesome because of my CD, and ended terribly with my hacked Gaia account.

I guess I learned something, here. Trust no one.
