Good day chap,



So recently I made an Anipan account #8091.
For people who do not know what Anipan is,
It's pretty much the same as DeviantArt except mainly focused around manga/anime art.
There are a lot of problems with the site though,

:bulletred: Their servers are REALLY slow, most likely due to the heavy traffic.
:bulletred: You don't get any notifications for new followers and the such.
:bulletred: There's no view counter so you have no idea if your artwork is even being viewed.
:bulletred: Uploading more than one artwork at a time doesn't work for me...
:bulletred: A lot of the icons don't show up...

But then again, it's just starting out so I guess these bugs or inconveniences are to be expected...

Hackers~



So recently there has been a rumor going around saying that there are hackers who will use your account to post mean comments or block others.

I have no idea whether this is true or not... but just to be sure,
If I ever post mean things or block you, know that it's not me.
I never 'troll' or post hate messages to people.
I also never block anyone unless they are art thieves or people who hate on me or others.

The best way to protect yourselves from hackers is to properly manage your account and computer.

Don't have passwords like, "123456" or "password".
Make your password is something like, "19s8fjkl23n89s".

If you have trouble coming up with something like, "19s8fjkl23n89s" then I would recommend this method:

:bulletred: Just slam your hand against the keyboard and start typing randomly,
Example: sajdkfhopwuignjxchclkjioqwephfjknzsxjkcvlhuaheruiduhafs

:bulletred: Then highlight a random section of it, and get rid of the rest.
Example: clkjioqw

:bulletred: Then you scramble those letters.
Example: wjkqocli

:bulletred: Then you add random numbers.
Example: w83jk1qo27cli

:bulletred: You can also choose to capitalize some letters for added security.
Example: W83jK1qo27cLi

So... why this crazy method? Well it's just to make sure it's completely random. Although you may be thinking that you can create something completely random without having to do this method, your subconsciousness will choose letters or numbers in a way that relate to you in some way. Trust me, sounds ridiculous but that's how your subconsciousness works.

Tips:


:bulletred: Don't have a word document on your computer with all your passwords. If a hacker hijacks your computer, they then have access to all your passwords. Instead, have a small piece of paper with your passwords in a secret place if you cannot remember them.

:bulletred: Don't use real words in your passwords. Computers can crack passwords with real words in them almost instantly.

:bulletred: Don't share your password with ANYONE. If you really must, then change your password immediately afterwards.

:bulletred: Have a good anti-virus software. A software that deals with viruses, malwares, trojans, spywares, etc. all at once are often times better.

:bulletred: Don't have more than one anti-virus software active at one time. Anti-virus softwares actually come with viruses so that they can use them to identify similar activity on your computer. So, if you have more than one anti-virus, then software A will think software B's viruses in its vault are foreign viruses and get rid of them. Thus, you're left with a anti-virus software that detects nothing because its virus vault is empty.

I should make a "Computer Protection for dAmmies"...
Should I? :P

Well anyways,
Have a nice day! :)

The word Anipan sounds funny :lmao: I'm quite confused with the layout, but still, I joined it and followed you! :D
I wanted to use Minoa as the display name, but then I found on the internet that Minoa is the name of a prehistorical time era :stare: so I used Miash instead haha~

Hackers...hackers everywhere... :stare:
Logically thinking, professional hackers prefer hacking popular and successful people like idols and rich people. They probably won't find much profit by hacking regular everyday netizens haha~

But now there's a new type of lower-class hacker that hacks regular netizens and sends hate messages :stare: Some sensation seekers haha~

Haha yeah the whole site needs fixing :XD:

Followed you back! :D

Haha the Minoan civilization :XD:
But it seems cool to use that as your name still! :XD:

That's what I used to think too but skilled hackers usually aim for normal people's credit cards or paypal. There was this one person who hacked into a celebrity's computer and the whole thing came on the news haha. I think he got caught rather quickly because the whole police department was on the case :XD:
There was also a case where these two people hacked into thousands and thousands of people's itunes accounts and made them buy the hackers' songs. In the end they got caught but they managed to get about three millions US dollars I think haha~

Yeah I don't see how sending hate messages can be deemed as fun haha,
They should just get a job and contribute to the economy! :XD:

Thank you! :hug:

Haha :XD: Nah, I'm more futuristic-oriented and not really interested in history and such :XD:

Oh yeah I forgot, there's that type of hacker too! Paypal and credit card hacker... :stare:
Haha yeah celebrities get public attention much quicker after all haha~
Wow, hacking iTunes accounts and make them buy your own song, that's quite something haha

Yup yup! They seem to not have any proper job haha~

By the way, check out this cool hacker team, they've got cool names and identities! :XD: [link] [link]

Haha but history is soooo interesting :XD:
It's quite interesting to see how stupid some people were in the past, and how some people, like Da Vinci, were so smart! :XD:

O.o I think there's too many hackers nowadays haha,
I mean, they even have teams! :XD:
What is this, professional hacking!? :XD: haha~
