Well, hacking means finding out weaknesses in an established system and exploiting them ( Wikipedia). In later times, only those who got knowledge in programming/programs can hack an account, but now ANYONE can hack and can be hacked.

There are different types of hacking actually. One is PHISHING-a way of attempting to acquire information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication(Wikipedia). Actually this is in a way of scam, they will send you link or something then when you log in, your logged in information will be saved to their file for passwords and emails on hosting sites they uses. So many people is falling for this kind of hacking, but it is also obvious if it's hack or not.

Second, hackers or should I say professional hackers uses a program which they just enter your email address then there you go, he got your password. It's kinda easy but not for an ordinary people who don't have the knowledge.

Another type of hacking is simply just getting your account by asking you infos and such to open your account. If someone falls for this, i don't know if your thinking or not. In pico world, the usual way is like they will say they will give you AG but no, it's just a kind of trick to get in your account. Foolish people would do this, who they think would give out an account just like that? -_-"

There are so many ways of hacking an account, however i just discussed two popular way that are usually used by pico players to hack other pico account.

Hacked pico account usually are from facebook account. Hack facebook--> pico account, then change and hide all. Why so clever? LOL.. The way hackers hack an account has improved. Like at later times, after they accessed an account they will change the password, but the real owner can regain his account with his email. Then now, what they are doing is, first they will change email address --> change password. In this way, it's impossible to regain access unless your a professional. How clever.

If I could just suggest to facebook, I would like to propose that when changing email address in facebook for primary or whatever, why not confirm first in the email? So when the hacker don't know your email pass, he can't change whatever your info there and you can easily access your account again. Naaaah, just a thought. XD

So, whatever happens. Don't let anyone control over your account and your lovely pico! :)

I know you've invested a lot in those accounts. Surely, you'll cry if you lost them.

Take care always and don't be fooled. :)
