well i just got home and loged on. nothing happened to me.....yet. so ill have it on for like several hours. and if nothing happened. then maybe it was just a bug or something.
I'm sorry but logging into someone elses Xfire account is not punishable by law. This isn't hacking, it's someone playing a joke. Computer hacking isn't illegal retard. What makes it illegal is where you hack, not that you are hacking. Every large software corporation employs multiple hackers.
I'll warn you now, I've taken network security courses. I've been taught how to hack. I know how to hack and what has happened here today is hardly hacking. Keyloggers and trojans.. not hacking. Xfire account stealing.. not hacking. Getting into googles mainframe.. that's hacking.
This is stupid and weak.
Well your an ass-hole with no compassion. Why didn't you stay gone when you left? BTW - Hacking IS punishable by law, I looked it up. I never said this specific instance counted, I just said hacking is illegal. Don't put words in my mouth and read what I actually say before you try to talk back to me about stuff you think you understand.

Define hacking then dipshit. You can't make generalized statements like hacking is illegal. Hacking is not illegal. There are illegal things that can be done through hacking. That's like saying driving is illegal since you can happen to get arrested for doing it while drunk.
No it's like saying Drunk Driving is illegal. You don't have to get caught or get in trouble for it for it to be illegal. Using a computer is legal, but using a computer to hack into someone elses and give them viruses and cause them damage or trauma is ILL-fucking-LEGAL.
Ok, hacking a server or network owned by someone else is illegal. Something like logging into someone's account is not illegal and not really hacking. I guess people's passwords to our school server all the time and switch stuff around on them just to fuck with them. It doesn't mean im doing some thing illegal. But yes only hacking of a privately owned server or network is illegal.

You are confusing hacking with black hat hacking. Hacking isn't illegal. There are many ways to legally hack. You are wrong. Deal with it.
hacking != hacking into someone elses computer
Do more research before making a broad incorrect statement like hacking is illegal.
Then don't yell. Inform them that the proper term is "Black Hat Hacker."
If you just yell at someone that they are idiots and don't explain why then they will get defensive and nothing will be gained from it. If you explain what your saying then things will go far more smoothly.
I corrected him once, he argued falsely, I corrected him again, he argued falsely, I corrected him again...
Maybe he'll figure it out this time.
All you did was say that it wasn't hacking. Correcting someone would be telling them what it actually was. (And in retrospect, black hat hacking is hacking. So really you both were right.)

FWIW, you're wrong.
And they can't just send you a virus like that, at least if you have ANY anti-virus program worth a shit. Of course, they could have asily disguised the thing, so when you accepted you could've thought you were accepting something completely different.
Stealing accounts isn't hacking, it's a joke. IF they were able to directly plant a virus on your hard drive, without you unknowingly accepting a fake download, setting, etc, then yeah that's hacking.
MY account got, um, <whatever-the-correct-term-is> into?
They turned me into Jetrall??? hah, thats pretty funny.
But seriously, what do I do? Is it safe to log in? If they've gone as you said then I suppose it is safe. As long as I don't talk to someone else's account that seems strange, it should be alright. I mean, you can't send files to yourself, can you?
Edit: lol, they changed my nickname to Jetrall. hahah, confusing.
Edit 2: ahh, what the hell, xfire is stuffing up. I tried to open it, and it seemed to work, but then now its gotten stuck. its little icon says 'Xfire - Offline', but I can't turn it online. I can't open it up. Its just a little icon next to the time. And I can't force-quit it, cause its not on the list of programs open. ugh, annoying. I'll have to restart my computer.

(Most normal people call black hat hacking just regular hacking...)
Most normal people (Jetrall) are uninformed.

I love that.:D

And you know what I ment when I said yelling.
This is correcting me / telling me what hacking is how? I know exactly what hacking is.
Like... say... hacking into someone's computer, logging into an account and / or putting viruses and spyware directly onto their computer? (DUH)
FWIW, you're wrong.
