Forums - PC - Wtf, I got hacked on Windows Live Messenger when I was using it just now?!

As the subject of the thread states, YES, I just got hacked on Windows Live Messenger. I've tried looking for stuff online, but this is the closest I've found of it:

Here's what happened on Messenger; my friend Mike is named 'morf' in this conversation, btw:

 

Adam said:

I'm back too.

morf said:

if you really want to compete with everyone on the server, in a half an hour timespan, to find 1 out of 11 objects anywhere in the game, go for it

personally i think it's a waste of time, and the chances of actually getting on are INCREDIBLY slim

Adam said:

I'm not going to do it lmao

morf said:

last time it spanned from 4am to 4:25 am. and was over

all 11 had been found

STOP IT!!

fucking.. what the fuck dude.

Adam said:

Huh??

Stop what? I didn't do anything?? Did my account get hacked??

 

Thoughts and concerns? I think people should be warned if they are using IM when this is happening to them. I got logged off my Messenger when I was using it, then came back to see my friend had flipped out. My other friend (who lives near my friend Mike; they both live in Canada and I live in the US in NC) said that Mike was getting stuff saying to look at my sexy pictures online at such-and-such website. Turns out that since my Messenger got hacked, EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, on my contact list was sent these messages! Omg...discuss??

EDIT: The spawning stuff we were talking about was Final Fantasy XI related about a new event on the game having to do with random Moogle Tablets appearing in certain places. Only 11 people every week on every server will be rewarded a special item, so yeah, that's what we were talking about (an EXP ring that has an effect for 24 hours real-time and can be used 11 times only in one real-time year).

Reset your password. Make it something strong.

Apologize to your friends and let them know what happened.

Move on.



you probably unintentionally sent him a trojan.


Its been happening a lot on MSN



I did, Words Of Wisdom (change my password). I changed my status message on Facebook stating everything, that if they got any IMs or emails from me that seemed sexually explicit, it wasn't me due to an advertising bot.



^you've gotten one of those links at some point that you've accendentially clicked which has resulted in your pc getting infected. Get adaware and a anti virus scanner and clean your pc. I know a bunch of people who has it too. Unfortunately some people don't seem to realise before clicking that this isn't something you should click. They're getting better at making the damn things seem real too.



Check out my game about moles ^
