Account Hacked
|
|
Hello Everyone,
Someone has been downloading worksheets using my account.
Is this a common thing that happens on this website?
Is there anything I can do about this?
Thank you for your help! |

Hi Joanne...I don �t think it is common but it can happen...someone hacked and stole all my printables and points and now I �m in 0...I suggest you to change your password asap!
You should trust Victor as I do to solve these problems!!!

Hi Joanne,
Change your password and if you are using a shared computer make sure NOT TO check the remember me box when you sign in. Hopefully this should solve your problem. Good luck!

Hi
This is possible - I found that my password was automatically saved on shared workplace computers thereby allowing others to use my account. I didn �t ask for it to be saved but it was, probably because someone else had ticked the box to automatically save passwords.
I recommend that you clear any stored passwords (following fletsch�s advice here) and that you have a secure password (i.e. combination alpha numeric) that you change regularly.
Also, by diligently entering details in the properties field of your documents provides an additional avenue of proof should you ever need to prove to an administrator that an account was once yours.
Cheers
