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!!
