Highly unlikely, how does he know that it was FH that "piggybacked" the hostile code, what are the names of these password spying programs.

The only thing that will remember your password is a cookie from freedys house and that is encrypted using MD5 one way hashes, so is fairly secure.

Sounds like yo have got some dodgy downloads from peer to peer software, does your brother by chance use p2p, or opened an email with an od attachment?

unless the site was hacked, only deebs (and ted maybe) have the power to put something so evil onto the site - deebs detests daoc players with a vengeance but he wouldnt nick your passwords

now, much more likely is that some wanker linked to a dodgy site and your brother, the moron he is, clicked it and get owned.

I think you can sort this out - tell your bruv to stop downloading so much man-pr0n

I let my housemate on my 'puter to play Planetside for the first time and went to bed - came down next morning and my desktops got 4 p00n diallers all over it. Took me over an hour to trace them all back and sort out the reg, etc. and when he finally emerged from his pit and i asked him if he was "browsing" he said, "nah, i finished playing PS then turned it off" :|

lying bastard

eat 500g of Lard, then puke up the virus!

You can't get anything 'piggybacking' through something thats purely HTML. Maybe it was something from a link he followed from FH.

 

[Rediknight]

Maybe it was an airborne computer virus? :shifty:

 

[rampant]

i wonder if it will pass the 'human-computer' barrier and we will all succum to a new deadly password spouting virus - where you run around shouting out random passwords that you have!
