tell me I'm not the only one to know the whispers were fake because I could hear the different "internet voice" in the different typing patterns of the original account owner vs the copy/pasted hack message

like to me it'd be like a guy trying to talk like somebody I know by pinching his nose and speaking in falsetto

None of you guys' accounts tried to phish me. I thought we were friends.

I came home to about 5 of those messages, and since one was from Norondor, I knew something was up immediately.

Nope, that's clued me off too.

I knew the message was false because nobody could be talking about me on the steam forum. What are they going to say? "LOOK AT THIS FAG'S TF2ITEMS HE HAS THE WORMS HAT BUT HARDLY EVER PLAYS"

Guys, if Norondor asks to borrow a voltage converter, please don't let him have one.

(Also: changed title of thread, because tricking you into giving away your password is not hacking.)

Hacking is recognized as a technically inaccurate but commonly-understood term for any kind of unauthorized system access, including socially engineered ones.

But the new topic works too so w/e.

My stance on this is documented.

My "friends" in high school would give me garlic-laced candy and would start engines when I was elbow-deep in them changing spark plugs. It's instilled this sense of paranoia in me that when anyone, anywhere links me or offers me something, I at least poke it a few times to make sure it doesn't explode before clicking it

That's nothing. I took her on a fishing trip.






She caught a 6 lb pike.
