Going in-depth with the current situation
If you’re reading this post then you’ve most likely just watched my update video, which crudely explains the situation of which I have gotten myself into. If you have not watched the video however, then I suggest you do so by clicking here.
Anyhow, recently my friend’s Geoff and Trevor opened up a Minecraft Server for their site OrbzGaming. Things went well until a user decided to get into my Minecraft account and ‘test out the server. Later on we found out that he had not actually been into my account, but I will explain this in fuller detail later. So Geoff later informed of the situation and then about an hour later a User under the Nickname of ‘Expert_Builder’ Logged on. We did not know who he was, but we thought nothing of him. Eventually this person got on our nerves. We had all had a very stressful day anyways, and we took out our anger on this person. We should not have done so, but we did not think rationally and did anyways. Anyways, after this point many things happened to our server. We were griefed, we were attacked, ‘hacked into’ and then today we finally found out that it was all Expert_Builder’s doing. We also found out that he was not actually getting into our accounts, but rather using a client to trick our server into thinking it was us.
After this point things went downhill, we turned off the server to prevent further attacks, but then things moved to Twitter and Xat. To put it in short, Geoff’s Twitter and Xat were compromised and Expert_Builder now has control over both. He later threatened over Xat that anyone involved with the OrbzGaming Minecraft server would also be hacked.
Normally, I would not take such threats seriously. But seeing as how Geoff’s accounts were so easily taken and also seeing how the server defenses were easily bypassed, I decided that this was not a threat to take lightly. I tried to apologize on behalf of all of us, but this person did not listen.
So, in a last ditch effort to stay relatively safe, I have decided to take a break from the internet. This means I have hidden my YouTube account, and defended my Twitter as best as possible. I have also made sure to change passwords to all my accounts, and destroy as many trails leading to my personal life as possible.
Does this mean I will be totally inactive on the internet? It may APPEAR that I am inactive.. but I will be checking frequently to see how things are going and whether or not this so called “storm” has blown over. No matter what though, I do plan to come back. If my accounts are compromised, then I will start over. If nothing is solved, then I will still come back. Basically, I will not be gone for long. I am giving myself at the most 3 weeks to fly ‘under the radar’. Once that time is up I will come back and try my best to stick around and do what I love to do best, entertain you all.
So, hopefully you understand my situation more. If you have any questions then feel free to PM me on my YouTube account.
I hope to see you all VERY soon
