Protecting From Hackers
Well a friend of mine lost an very good account...he had like 6 pages of weps and like 12 from BM...ofcourse he is trying to get it back now...but i don't understand...i don't think he shared his info...i mean email and security answer....i still don't get it how the **** can get your account hacked when you know the password from the email or the security answer? Well after this i change my password 4-5 times/week and my email too but a little rarely.....
My question is: How your account can be hacked if you didn't shared your security answer,email or the email password? The most of people i've seend they got hacked don't know the email or what? I know the email,password and my security answer and never shared them LoL BUT ANYWAY..i am a little -_-''.

Phishing or keylogging are the only two ways outside of someone actually taking the time to target a specific account for a brute force login crack attempt. It would be a waste of time for someone to actually break into the Z8 login server just to get the details for a few accounts (as well as violate several laws).

As you even stated "i give some1 the account"....that pretty much says it all. Ya gave the account away. :rolleyes: -

Yes... you broke the ToS. You could be banned for account sharing. For a good reason.
also.. how do you know he wont change the email? and claim he was hacked and get the info back from support? he'll have the corrct information so then youvbe pretty much lost the account for good -
Perhaps he tried to install some hack tool. In Russian CF was such hack tool which was sending all information about account to a hacker (I have heard about it and I have seen many complaints of players which lost their accounts due to this hack).
In soviet russia, Hack hacks you! -

Yes but if i change the password he can't do anything about it. So with the password known only by you is very safe.:)
