Hacking... O.e

Well, like the rest of you, after hearing about these 'hackers' I was sent into a tizz. e.g Locking my room and wearing nooby clothes and various things to try and make me safe. But now we are being told there aren't actually any Hackers? Well I'm no expert on this so I'm gonna hand this over to Benry, this is a letter he wrote to Picostyle (another blog, which now unfortunately has powered down), and if you want to see the original posted on their site here it is Picostyle


Hey guys! So... a lot of people have been talking about "hackers" on Pico. And everyone is kinda paranoid? So... I'll try to explain this thing.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY to hack your computer, or your account through Pico.

Some people have been losing favorites, some people have been losing items... that IS NOT a hacker. That's a bug on Pico, an error, that they are trying to fix. Not a person hacking your accounts.

The only way to get to your account is through "phishing". It works this way: you get in a website, or someone sends you an email or message. It looks real, like it's from Ameba Pico, but it's not. For some reason you'll have to fill a form with your password and username, and they'll get your account information.

So, if someone sends you a message, or a website, or anything where you have to fill a form with information or tell them your account information, for any reason. IT'S FAKE.

So, again. THERE IS NO HACKER. There's people claiming to be hackers and stuff just to get attention.


Thanks Benry! I also heard about the spyware 'keylogger' but if you're careful about the files you open you won't be in danger of getting it on your computer.
Well, I guess that's all! Stay Safe on Pico and Keep Reading!!

New!! French Catwalk Items!!

WOW!! Just when you think it can't get better Pico has given us a Fashion Catwalk! Look!

At the end of the show you get to meet the designer and you can actually BUY these gorgeous clothes! Mhm! Take a Peek!

I can't wait to buy them all!

There's also a new cafe where the waiter actually brings you a glass of water!

Pico is on a run lately! Well Pico, we say keep it coming!

Praying For Japan.

We all know about the devastating Tsunami in Japan, and everyone is doing what they can to help. Pico itself has produced these Donation Balloons

By purchasing them with Ameba gold, you automatically donate to help Japan through Pico. Although not all of us can use this because of some Picos not possessing Gold, many of us have found other ways to show that Japan is on our minds, and in our hearts. For instance:

• Dressing up in Red and White
• Hosting solemn events in your room
• Placing a Red cross or other supporting charity's website in your URL (heres a few you can use) 
• The Red Cross
• Save The Children
• Facebook, The Red Circle
• Simply hanging out in the Donation Park and showing respect to those affected.

I hope you join with the rest of the world in praying for Japan every night, and hoping they overcome this.

New French Area In Pico

The amount of detail in the shop windows is amazing!

Anyway this was just a quick post to share my enthusiasm for this awesome new addition to our Pico world!

Why is Ameba Pico sick!?

Okay, so I've only just started this blog why does my first post have to be about pico getting sick!? But unfortunately it's true. I don't know if it's just me or what but every time I log in now it either tells me to reload, or none of the icons will load! It's really annoying because at the time I was logging in to take pictures for my blog. Grr Pico why do you get Ill so much these days!? And why so bad timing!?
