Somebody's on MY ACCOUNT!!

Okay, so I was watching my sister check her messages and then it said: Your project Amberwing's Bio has received a new comment from luna-budew. That was strange because I NEVER posted a comment on Amberwing's Bio.. So my sister checked it and the comments said: You must like Luna Budew because you gave her credit. She is my friend too. Tee-hee, I'm friends with myself!! And then she replied: she doesnt say tee hee, she says hi hi.
I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EMBARRASED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE SAID I SAY HI-HI...TO THE PUBLIC!!
Now I think it's anjabanjabee. She ALWAYS says tee hee. What should I do?

Re: Somebody's on MY ACCOUNT!!

As higejolly says, change your password.  Also, make sure you log out of Scratch when you use it on computers shared with other people.

Re: Somebody's on MY ACCOUNT!!

STEP 1: Change your password, make it a really hard word (15+ characters). If your sister is younger than you, this should be easy. STEP 2: Always logout when you are done. If you log out each time, this can help prevent her from just opening your laptop up and getting onto your stuff on Scratch. Hope these are helpful and if your sis ever gets on your account, you could try creating a SECRET account.  wink

Re: Somebody's on MY ACCOUNT!!

I know you think your password is secure, and if you can think of another explanation as to how they got onto your account, then that's great. But if not, you need to change it ASAP. Sorry that I can't really give you any better advice.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: Somebody's on MY ACCOUNT!!

I agree with CloneCommando1. Just change your password that nobody would ever guess... like something totally the oppisite of what you like with alot of random numbers at the end. Also logging out helps as well (just like CloneCommando1 said).  hmm

Re: Somebody's on MY ACCOUNT!!

Poor luna-budew, try to change the password to something random or something that you like, such as this, my sister loves cookie monster, the number 16 and the color purple, so in this case I would say her password could be: purplecookiemonster16. Try that out (obviously not that password because then people could guess it by looking at this forum).

Re: Somebody's on MY ACCOUNT!!

Re: Somebody's on MY ACCOUNT!!

uppercase and lowercase and stuff like ! or + etc. or just make it a 20+ letter long password like the encrypted word documents on my computer  tongue


I know I'm eventually going to get banned, but I'm going to ride out on a endless, shining wave of logic.

Good advice!  Adding symbols and a mix of upper and lowercase letters makes it much tougher to guess. 

In this topic, I'm a bit suspicious of many of the accounts that are commenting on it since a lot of them seem to be from the same network.  It kind of looks like somebody is playing games with making accounts.  Your advice about passwords is good but I'm going to close this and ask that if there are further problems with this account that they use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page to get the Scratch Team involved.  Thanks for everybody that gave good advice  smile
