Have you guys ever got hacked? I would like to hear your stories

Never. I use Windows and common sense.

does formatting make all the viruses go away?

I phished 30 world of warcraft accounts from other people using a youtube video
It said how to hack world of warcraft accounts, send an email to [email protected] (a fake email i made) with your targets character name, realm and you had to type in your own account name and password and people fell for it

>I heard of a guy who ran Firefox as root on sketchy websites which did get him hacked
You mean this?

satan

some shitty forum i went to got hacked and i used the same password for my email and skype
taught me a lot about password reuse

My friend had a fun experience.
He is a youtuber, he has around 50k subscribers and one day he recieved a mail that told him that his youtube sponsor is giving out web cameras to youtubers, and he could get one too.
Now the classic shit comes up, you had to fill up a PDF file and send it back to them.
Under the PDF there was a RAT virus.
One day he was laying in his bed and his PC was running, in browser.
When he took a closer look, he saw that the mouse is moving by itself, he thought that it was just some mouse bugging so he ignored it.
Later that day, he gone to the bathroom and when he come back his browser was at his channel youtube page, slowly going towards the "Delete Channel" button.
It was close to clicking it, but he turned the computer off and re-installed his *windows*

boot sector viruses are persistent little bastards.
>nothing is ever actually deleted even on a format, and bootloaders look for files in the same old place.

yes. according to my pass manager i have 473 accounts, out of which 398 has password that another account also has.
about 2-3 is out there, i even found them in collection #1-#5

isnt it best to not give 2 fucks at this point? Who cares if people are spying on me on gnu/linux

I can believe this. When TeamViewer was hit on a large scale, there were a lot of reports of people finding someone controlling their mouse trying to get into their email and bank accounts.

Accidentely set the root password of my laptop to 1234.

i downloaded something that ended up being a RAT

One of my "friends" hacked my original Xbox account with all my gameplay from 2007-2010 on it including everything I had bought. I don't think I've ever experienced a greater betrayal of trust in my life.

My webserver with outdated kernel was pwned by some pajeet using dirtycow. Ironically, that was paid cloudlinux distribution. Other servers with clear centos installed on them survived.

People called me /x/ and schizo when i told people on Jow Forums when my dwm desktop froze and i had to quit xorg and restart it.

He couldn't do much damage too me cause im on a minimal desktop and its barebones as fuck.

I need to invest in a firewall honestly

>tfw not autistic enough to install gentoo
Why live, bros?

I remember your story too user I assumed it was fake because the xss theory made no sense. So user what really happened?

i was on Jow Forums and some guy did some hacker shit that made me actually feel fear for once. My computer froze, i exited out of dwm and saw a crash error in the tty.

i started xorg again and fired up firefox like nothing happened, went back on omegle r9k text chat tag, met the same guy and he tells me he has a keylogger installed on my computer by saying which youtube video i watch.

it sounds very /x/ tier but most of you guys wont believe me and its understandable.

I never been on omegle since. Screw that site.

I only thought you can hacked through video omegle (wireshark) and nothing else. I was dead wrong and you can get hacked through text chat believe it or not

what's the ha ck though?

>xss attack
>Firefox

I believe you. Firefox (and omegle) have horrible security. Firefox isn't even sandboxed ffs.

Wireshark literally isn't hacking. Omegle is a p2p application. You literally NEED to know their IP address in order to send them your video feed. Just use a VPN and you're fine.

my friend targeted me and sent a picture with RAT embedded. Casually watched me through my browser as I clicked around tranny porn and stuff. I realized my mouse was moving about and being non responsive and realized what must have happened as I had opened the picture earlier that day. I wrote a bunch of stuff about how he was a nig ger and I was g oing to american history x him on a note pad. He lived a block away so I went outside his apartment and watched him freak out with his fat ugly girlfriend. We both pretended nothing happened later, it was weird guys.

I never once used video when i was on omegle. This is only meant for text chat only. But i understand what you are saying obviously.

>Firefox (and omegle) have horrible security. Firefox isn't even sandboxed ffs.

I can't believe hundreds of anons from Jow Forums are going on omegle. He or she or it has a keylogger on his computer without any knowledge. Its scary. Thank god for dwm crashing and that user telling me he put a keylogger on my laptop

Thanks for sharing your story.
