Blocked access? Hello, so I try to log in to my favorite site yesterday after buying my 1st 6 month subscription one month ago and I cannot log in. I email support and they responed in about 24 hours to tell me my account was blocked because of this email: Hello , Your account was blocked due to many IP adresses from different countries under your account. Can we get any more vague? Anyways, my knowledge of this stuff is limited but this sounds like others logged in to my account other than myself. Therefore, I'm guessing my account got hacked somehow. I emailed them back with no response but of course this has to happen after I forked over a butt load of money. I'm at a loss as to what else to do but leave it in their hands. I mean, how can I even prove them that I didn't give my info away. Plus, I'm worried that my info may get leaked somehow. The billing was through CCBill, I'm wondering if I should email them and try to get my money back if these people don't help me out. Any experience and suggestions? Any help would be great. -GCode Sexted From My iPad | |

I would try to email or call CCBill. Tell them your story and what happened. I'd think they would atleast look into it. Especially if you've subscribed to plenty of sites through CCBill before with no problems. If CCBill doesn't help, I guess you could always try and dispute it with your credit card company. You could tell them the same thing above. It might help, don't know. | |

I'm gonna wait for a response but do you suggest that I go straight to my issued credit card service to dispute or should I attempt a refund through CCBill first explaining my situation? Also, I'm relieved that it was not hacking. I hope they respond and everything gets cleared because I really do love the site and I'd hate to boycott them due to this :( My nerves are a bit shot from the hacking scare, DEEP BREATH. Thanks for the help so far. -GCode Sexted From My iPad | |

Well, they emailed me back that my password was changed without any inquire to why it was blocked at all. I logged in and got that update I was waiting for ALL WEEK!!! I'm still a bit pissed as to the vagueness of their responses but it's working now so I'm happy :) -GCode Sexted From My iPad | |

It was probably just a form e-mail with the vague response. I've had that, too. I contacted MC-Nudes about a login problem that actually had to do with a computer of mine that had some kind of fucking Trojan or something that my virus program couldn't deal with (McFuckAfee). I'd not been hacked; the thing was screwing up all kinds of sites with the page rendering, scripts, logins, etc. But MC-Nudes just sent me their form e-mail (multiple accounts, mulitple locations, blah-blah) and a new usepass. But that didn't work either at first because of McFuckAfee not doing its goddamned job with the Trojan. But finally, though some update from Microsoft or from Mc-Doesn't-Make-It-Afee, a lot of the problems went away and the usepass finally worked. I'd also been shut out of TeenDreams for a day last week, so I emailed them and they said that there was something amiss with their password file but they'd fixed it and so I could login and so I tried and it worked. Both sites did respond quickly, so good on them for that! I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. Edited on Mar 25, 2009, 06:01pm | |

That is very bothersome. Although most sites will email you a new password right after receiving an email from the user. The fact that they made you wait so long is unreasonable. If you were on a one month pass you would have lost a quarter of your time. Fortunately for you that is not the case with your 6 month pass, but the principle is the same. It is not our fault if people are hacking the site and there is nothing we can do about it, so why punish us the PAYING customer? As for the damn curvy letter guessing pictures, several sites have them and they do not even function. Brazzers and the main log in for extreme holly and all of those sites have a letter guessing game that if you leave blank it still allows access.

LOL! "Damn curvy letter guessing pictures!" I'm going to remember that phrase the next time I login to Twistys and the damn thing looks like a test for color blindness. I HATE those fucking curvy-ass letter things. OR the 7's that might just be 2's (or O's vs. 0's) at ClubSandy for instance. OR the ones where you can't tell if it's supposed to be a capital "X" that's just smaller (like the capital "L" tilted to the left over the ... what's that? ... a small "q" or a "g"? Can't tell because the bottom is cut off! Arrghh. Whoever said that technology is the art of rearranging life so that you don't have to experience it did NOT experience those curvy login thingies. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

Drooler, your Trojan was invented by Norton to try and make you buy their junk. That is my paranoid theory. I say 99% of viruses and other unwanted programs are developed by a sector of each anti-virus company to force people into feeling they need to keep buying the updates. Honestly, who has the time to sit down and develop programs that can get around the most current anti-virus stuff? Well lets make a guess, the same guy who a few days later will releases a fix for it. Why is he so fast at fixing it,because he knows exactly what it is before a single report of it comes in. Then his boss tells him to include it in the NEXT update so that people who just let their subscription expire a force to pay again. They are all slimy! And that is my anti-virus software company rant.

You can sometimes avoid your password being guessed (hacked) by others by selecting a more cryptic password. Any time you use a single word or proper noun as a password, you're just begging for it to be hacked. While it'a bit of a pain having to remember a more cryptic password, it will often mean they skip your account and hack the password for the next guy. Also, though it should be common sense, don't use the same password on more than one site. Just a thought to help you avoid this type of thing.

The easiest site I've seen so far, as far as "the damn curvy letter guessing pictures", is Just Teen Site. I even mentioned that "secret word is easy to read" when I reviewed the site as a positive feature. There are some sites I could not get into because I gave up on trying to guess what the ^&*(#@ secret word was supposed to be after many tries. So far, I've only been blocked from one porn site that emailed me that my username and password had been hacked. They emailed me a new username and password, and the problem was easily solved. They did not give me credit for the days I was blocked, but it was just a few days, so no big deal. As far as getting responsive emails from porn sites, that's a hit-or-miss proposition. Some sites are good about responding to emails, some are lousy (you might get a form email that's almost worthless), and some sites are downright shitty. The shitty sites don't bother to respond at all. And some of those shitty sites advertise 24/7 support. Just Teen Site never responded to my emails requesting help. And a couple of other PU members (Drooler and snappy) mentioned they never got a response to their emails from Just Teen Site support. | |

LOL. Great rant, and you are probably right. The problem is Microsoft scares you by using bright red blinking icons if you don't have any anti-virus software installed, plus if there are people out there smart enough to "secure" your computer, then there probably are people who are just as smart who want to hack it or worse -- you just can't win. It's a part of modern life: junk mail companies wasting time and paper to fill your mailbox with bullshit, and assholes on TV trying to sell poorly made disposable products like blankets and super-absorbent towels.

I think they are called graphical passwords, but in my experience it is just a fancy way of saying "pain in the ass" because we are somehow at fault for being paying customers and having less than perfect eyesight. They are like all those irritatingly stern FBI and Interpol warnings you have to sit through on DVDs, as if you are presumed guilty and your only intention is to pirate it.

If you copy a movie and cut the warnings out do they still apply? I know I know, that was retarded. I think with the "graphical passwords" they need to be set up so that only a percentage needs to be correct. If you get 5/7 correct it should be good enough. We have all seen some that are nearly impossible to decipher. I have actually had my girlfriend look at a few to see if she could make them out! I have found that if you push refresh a couple times you end up with a semi-readable one.

Those annoying, anti-bot graphical tests are usually referred to as CAPTCHA, a cute contrived acronym meaning "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart." So you can pretty much blame Carnegie Mellon University for that particular blight that we all must deal with everyday. It is almost as irritating as that stupid clamshell packaging that many manufacturers use for retail product packaging. "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"

Some of those graphical tests are reasonable - most of them are legible to me - but every once in a while - and I ran into one last week, can't remember where - they are so messed up looking that it takes me 10 tries before I get the damned thing right. | |

All of them are hacked into daily. They should know this by now and not try to blame the paying customer. I would write the billing company and demand a full refund. | |

That will help for guessing, but won't help a bit for hacking. | |

I have the same issue with PornstarXS.com where I joined their 2 day trial. After 24 hours I was denied access. No response from either customer support or the webmaster; just a confirmation from Epoch that the account was paid and active. After posting a comment and a reply to the posted review in PU, the webmaster replied to the comment telling me to email him (already did, twice, but I did it a third time.) He sent me a new temporary ID and password that worked for 24 hours, then got blocked. No reply to my emails. I'm giving him another few hours then I'll post a new comment to see if that works again. It's a good site with good stuff, but clearly it has no real customer service function so they aren't going to see any of my money. Edited on Mar 27, 2009, 08:47am | |
