I got logged in ET but not from me

jrlvnv · Jan 11, 2008

3 days ago i noticed that I was logged with some user name and I had no access to any forums or was unable to look inside the mailbox, it said I had no permission. So I deleted temp. files, cookies and cleared history. Everything was fine.

Today I noticed that I was logged in under the name Pokkerrrrr.

Never heard of him before and no one touches my computer but me. I did adware and AVG virus scan and came back clean. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

It has happened twice to me today, at the public library and on my home computer. I think hackers have got to ET.

When I click on forums, I get "access forbidden". I can access topics on the main page.

Same here. I think Baron and the tech guy will be busy tomorrow trying to fix this, looks like hackers for sure.

same here. The only condolence was I couldn't utilize the account, even though it said I was logged in.
