Guest King Andrei Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I was posting on GF Forums, when the Internet Explorer became kinda dark, slowly and creepy. Then a strange creepy sound came outta my speakers. Then a window appeared: Guess what it says: "Click here for the golden opportunity!" or something like that. I didn't click on it, I just closed my IE. Stupid hackers! I don't know who it was or what it was but I'm notifiyng the forum administrator soon.

They are getting more and more creative with the ads nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest King Andrei Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 It was creepy and didn't look like an ordinary ad. I think someone trying to hack me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Check your firewall. If you don't have one, get one (Zone Alarm is free). But just as a hint, not many hackers will be in your PC and even fewer will spend time trying to talk to you. Trust me on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an ad to me anyways. And people, don't confuse hacker with script kiddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obi Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 It may not be on LucasForums, but I have heard it many, many times. It may be on the star trek chat or something. But you don't want to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
