Thank you for hacking my account, taking down my paid ads and changing the password. Thank you for fucking up the Kijiji ad of a young father trying to sell his meagre movie and game collection so he can give his baby a better life, thank you for causing me this stress and grief at this time, I hope you got your point across, and I hope dickwad malicious hackers like you get hit by a car. Thanks for the headache. —I Just Want to Sell Things

this shit happens all the time, they don’t actually hack account, they just go to log in, and put in forgot password, then change to whatever they want. i have been there before, so i know what you mean. it’s a no brainer to leave your log in name up, moreso if someone comes to your place and sees it, then they fuck you up.
How come Kijij doesn’t change their “Lost Password” policy? I know MSN had this same problem back in 1997….if you knew a person’s MSN account, you could request a password change email to whatever email account you typed in.
Either way it is extremely unfortunate. Guess all you can do is create a new account and put the ads up again. One question though- why you paying for ads on a free advertising site if you want to make some extra $$? just sayin’
yeah, unless it’s a car or something… you really need no place paid ads…
I didn’t think it was that lax on security though… every account is associated with an e-mail, why wouldn’t you send it to the one in the profile, rather than any one you like?!?!?! in theory, couldn’t you hack it back?
or is this a case of going on someone else’s computer and not logging out before you left?
thus, the cookie monster got you.
Ha! I’m doing that tonight!
sebastian, msn is still fucked. and anyone can change passwords on a him, all they need is your email addy.
I tried selling my porn mag collection on there once, and someone changed my password, came to my house, and jerked off all they wanted, all over the mags. They left money, of course, but, I really wanted them to take the mags. Now all I’m left with is a box of sticky magazines.

Whose got an ARP 2600 for sale? huh?
that’s the Frankenstein synth…
I was thinking archaic video games worth big bucks and stumbled across ARP 2600 which is ‘a semi-modular analog subtractive audio synthesizer.’
You’re at the business end of a moog, not me.
I learned something new.
