A warning to everyone, especially newcomers.

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MangaQueen/1216163

It is about kaj, and his minions. It is important that they don't hack you. Please love this project. It needs to be on the front page so that everyone is warned, and if i get hacked, I will be fine, I can re upload the project and whatnot.

The chances are he is just a pass guesser or pass scammer, pass hacking is illegal and really really really hard to do.

I know but he is a GENIUS. he hacked my friend just because she commented on one of his projects, and deleted my friend's friends account.  sad

A genius at typing in the word "Password123"?
Its not really up to how clever you are, its just up to guessing and how weak the persons password is.
Mines is about 15 random letters and numbers and symbols, I have have never been pass guessed.

Re: A warning to everyone, especially newcomers.

This is important, but I think it should go in the "miscellaneous" section, because although it advertises a project it's an informational project about miscellaneous stuff...

But topics in show and tell advertising projects also tell you about the subject of the project.

Re: A warning to everyone, especially newcomers.

My comment:

"If anything, he is a pass guesser or pass scammer, pass hacking is illegal and near to impossible to do, If he could he would go for a bank website, not a kids website. Just make your passwords secure and there is no way he can get your account, get famous all you want. I think you should really try and do a little re-search before telling a whole community to stop being good and getting famous and ganging up on someone who the chances are is harmless, thats sometimes how cyber-bullying starts"

You are giving out mean rumours about a user, ganging up against him, trying to turn community's against him, telling people he did something really bad with very little evidence ect.
If you ask my that sounds a bit like bullying !

True, I don't care about what he does because it's not really my problem.

Yes, I do find it funny. Anyone who believes that Kaj is a hacker and that he's back is just feeding the troll. That's what this new guy wanted; to cause an uproar. Successful troll is successful. Helping each other doesn't constitute ganging up on a user, no matter who he or she is.

Once again, there is no way to tell if this is Kaj.

Re: A warning to everyone, especially newcomers.

If one person COULD hack, more could. And it would be a rampant problem, which it is not. I really hate to get into "password guessing" at all but trust me, it works far more often than you would like to think.
But just for future reference, ANYONE publicly claiming to be a hacker is like 99% for sure just trying to get attention. Why sometimes they will go so far as to make multiple accounts, pretend to "hack" one with another, and then use a third account to "report" the fake hack. It seems far more clever to themselves than it appears to others. And by looking through their old posts and what-not, you can often see that they are not participating like all the real users are.

Honestly, actual hacking sounds like a lot less work to me  smile

I've seen that before, but this was on the main site, where user comments aren't public
Anyway, I'm thinking of cashing in my chips on this Kaj business.

Re: A warning to everyone, especially newcomers.

I have reported this to a moderator for continuing to spread mean rumours about a harmless user and continuing to gang up on him and try and turn the community against him/her after being told by many users.

Even if he is a a pass guesser, no-one deserves to be bullied.

Re: A warning to everyone, especially newcomers.

The excitement around this "Kaj" and has been rather blown out of proportion. Kaj's reputation as a hack is simply not true. Additionally, to my knowledge, there has never been a verified case of actual hacking of somebody's account on the Scratch website; in fact, most cases in which an account is compromised is usually because the low security of the password (either the password had been given out, or guessed correctly. So remember to make your password hard to guess and keep it a secret).

As always, please report any issues you have to the Scratch Team. But, in the meantime, please leave the issue of Kaj alone and not spread any more unnecessary gossip on the Scratch Website. Scratch On!  smile
