TBH this whole hacking thing makes me upset and anxious. I wonder if this will soon lead to the end of NG.

Newgrounds has been hacked in the past, don't know how long its been since the last time something like this happened though. You can read more about that here: https://newgrounds.fandom.com/wiki/Hacking_and_Phishing
Chances are, Newgrounds will survive it. Seems like the hackers just want attention from what I can tell and have took whatever vulnerable accounts they can find. At this point, I'm feeling like it might be a good idea for Newgrounds to enter planned maintenance and try to fix things while the site is in an offline state. Maybe also seeing where sitewide security can be improved, and getting the site audited by pentesters.
IMO, the statements the hackers are making do not sound like "winning" to me. Of course, you already have to live a sad life to hack NG of all places.
Well, this is way worse as Duck Division.
I hope the hacker gets arrested by the end of the year.
to be honest i don't even think it's a NG Related Hacking i just think that we are unfortunate to be in a wave of users that where hacked in general that just so happen to all be on Newgrounds
agreed to be honest

One account has been hacked, stay safe fellas. I need to stay safe too!
Make sure you keep your eyes open and report any hacks.
Keep NewGrounds safe.
I hope very few people have seen those hacked accounts, because they sent very nasty awfull stuff.

2FA is highly recommended, especially if you’re an artist account that will be a larger target.
Farewell FutureCopLGF, you will forever be remembered as the one who spent 8 out of the 10 starting potions on a snakebadger.
I use 2FA whenever possible! I think I was one of the early adoptors when Newgrounds added it.
Doesnt really count as hacking if i just give my password away if they ask nicely!
First post also

to be honest i already had this theory awhile ago but i haven't said it untill now sense only now there seems to be more proof to show this theory
thanks for the reminder, didn’t know this was a thing
am still on the look out for the next account they hack i think it might happen later today in the evening probably when it starts to get dark outside
Thank you. I put on 2FA a few days ago due to the recent hacking incidents. Hopefully those people don't cause anymore trouble :(
i hope it isn’t a big creator

Fuck.
I live...again!
Cheers all, should be back in more-secured business now: many thanks to Tom for helping me sort that out, and thanks to the messages from all. Hell of a holiday surprise!
Feel free to let me know if you see any other oddities from me besides love and peace: hopefully cleaned up the last of it.
Here's being back to reviewing the best of the month and spreading holiday cheer!
