Patreon hacked?!
Added 2017-05-18 19:53:05 +0000 UTC...okay, so the thing is that recently someone hacked my DA account, now I realised that yesterday someone did the same with this Patreon?!
The good thing is that changing the paypal account connected with the site makes Patreon freeze the funds for 5 days and I changed the account back to mine ... two hacks of my accounts in such a short period of time, I can hardly believe in it X_X it is really frightening :o
and I already contacted the staff, yes.

the chances are nearly 0, I have my passwords in my desk, noone actually can have access to it. My mom when babysitting the kids eventually :) After I gave it some thought I am afraid I know how it happened, and it was my stupidity. When there was this hack to my DA I changed the password there - but I forgot that I was using the same password here on Patreon. This certain person, or other one who had a knowledge about those leaked passwords simply was able to try to use it here. If it was a bigger leak from DA many Patreon accounts may get hacked if more people are as reckless as I am.

2017-05-19 07:24:41 +0000 UTCThank you for the advices <3 Last time I do checked my PC, I asked for help an IT guy (my husband) but it seemed that everything is okay. He told me that sometimes there are leaks of logins and passwords... I completely not connected the siple fact that used the same password here and on DA (two art sites, was easy for me to remember... yeah, I shouldn't do it) I was completely not expecting that someone might want to hack this patreon! >_> But how easy it was - like I was leaving my wallet on a bench in a park. But I will get my PC checked again to be sure :/

2017-05-19 07:23:56 +0000 UTCscary..but currently I heard from several people that someone tried to hack their patreon account o_O
2017-05-18 22:10:32 +0000 UTCIt seems a bit to odd to be a coincident. You checked your PC for worms, keyloggers and stuff? That or as albedo mentioned. It sure sounds like someone is getting account infos from you somehow. Be sure to check for worms (with more then one viruschecker) and then change the important PW's like paypal, amazon, banking account etc. just to be on the save side.

2017-05-18 21:38:04 +0000 UTCIs it possible that the person hacking you is someone you meet in person? Maybe they are finding where you write down your passwords.

2017-05-18 21:09:49 +0000 UTCtak, koło 5ego danego miesiąca, ale ja nie wypłacałam regularnie, więc się uzbierało... więc przed stratą uratowało mnie to zamrożenie konta na 5 dni po zmianie danych paypala ... a czemu nie wypłacałam? Po prostu jakoś tak nie ogarnęłam, że trzeba :/ Teraz będę, już wiem, że trzeba :/
