neo2810 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 So here I am, desperately removing all my electronic assets and fashioning a large hole in my memory foam mattress where I'll be storing my life's wealth from now on. It's a damn site safer than sitting where a 7 year old can pick it up and spend it happily right under my nose. My most recent e-Adventure was not created by a seven year old this time though, ohhh no. This time I have been slapped by a real, live hacker. Someone, it appears, who is extremely popular in many countries in Africa. In fact, I'm fairly jealous of this person's popularity, and I'd like to know just how he/she managed to hold a meaningful conversation with 190 of his/her friends in a little over 5 hours. That's some feat. While I am chatting to him though, I'll most likely be sealing his/her feet in concrete, ready for their cordless bungi off the Tyne Bridge. In fact, screw the Tyne Bridge, I'll dump the git off the Transporter Bridge so the last thing he sees is the smog filled industrial sector of Middlesbrough. The only last sight worse than that would be a naked Anne Widdicombe bending over to pick up her keys. I'll also be asking him/her how on earth they circumvented Skype's incredible security. I mean, my god, my password had letters and numbers, and was at least 9 characters long. I'll give them brute goddamn force. So a little word of warning to those who use Skype and have ever paid for premium credit, group calling, or any Skype service. Go into your subscriptions and turn off that flippin AUTO-RECHARGE feature and remove your card details. This has cost me £120 while Skype helpfully recharged my Skype Premium credit for this person to continue chatting. I'm off to argue with a stubborn Skype agent on their live chat system. Fingers crossed my bank are more sympathetic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo2810 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 As much as it annoys me, I try not to let these things wind me up. In most cases the bank will reimburse you and I'm not short of money in the meantime so I just sit back and let them sort it out. Life's too short... It'll be forgotten by next month if they don't sort me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
