Hi there! This is Omar99 speaking to you about SkUmBaG68. It is really really easy to prevent this guy from hacking any accounts. Just DON'T SHARE YOUR PASSWORD. When you get on Whyville, you see City Hall saying don't share your password, I can't emphasize it enough. Well, they mean it.
You're probably saying to yourself, what are the chances of him picking to hack me out of 190,000 Whyvillians? Well, that's not a real safe way of thinking -- I mean, how many of you expected the September 11th attacks? I didn't, I just thought it was any old day where I went to school, got detention, and forgot to do my homework (LoL). Obviously it wasn't -- and it taught me one thing, that anything can happen, any day. You gotta be ready.
SkUmBaG68 isn't the ONLY hacker on Whyville. I mean, I know a few of my friends are hackers, and I have even seen people asking for passwords. If you EVER see anyone asking someone else for passwords, 911 them RIGHT AWAY, or else they will keep hacking and hacking and hacking.
I once got hacked, but that person is banished now. That person asked me to join this awesome club of his. I thought, why not? So I said sure. He said everyone in the club had to give their passwords to each other. He asked me to give him my password. I said no, I think I will quit this club. He said please, come on man, and so on, so I eventually gave in. I told him my password. Then he said, be right back.
Later, I saw my mail was flashing, so I checked it. It said, "You just delivered 50 clams to ----". That's when I knew I had been hacked. That taught me a good lesson that City Hall's always trying to teach all of us, and what I'm trying to teach you: it's just not safe to share your password.
It's very true what City Hall says! Even if you give your password to your very best friend, then maybe when you're not on Whyville someone will say a rumor to get your friend mad at you and then he or she will do the only thing to get back at you, and that's HACK YOU!!!
One more thing about my article -- nowadays, the most common way of hacking is the ''I'll raise your salary" claim or ''I'll give you a makeover". Why on earth would someone give you a makeover or raise your salary for no reason and not get paid??? It's really stupid how hackers hack people like that, and no offence to the people that give their password out to people, but they're stupid, too.
This is getting long, but one last thing before I leave! Don't trust scams. If someone mails you saying they're City Hall and they want clams from you for some reason, just look them up and see if they have a CW hat. If they don't, that means it's an imposter. Well, I'm off. I hope this you listen to this advice to citizens of Whyville.
This is Omar99, signing off.
