I know that the administrators have been saying to be careful not to give out your password to anyone, but my little sister didn't give out her password to anyone, and she got hacked. So how was that possible?
and another thing, since she got hacked, i was wondering, what makes for a strong password in your opinions...
(Sorry if i post this in the wrong area....)

Remember, you need a poll in every thread! Please don't forget to add one next time.
There are hackers who are very talented in getting past things like that. I can't honestally say I know how they do it, but my heart goes to your sister.

The only problem is, the good hackers either completely by-pass the password so it makes no difference, or use spyware and keyloggers.

Spyware tells them everything but your passwords, that alone would be a nuicence, but they wouldn't beable to hack you. Keyloggers tell the person who gets it onto your computer everything you type. Meaning they have all your passwords, and anything else you typed in and might not want them to know.

Mr. Ownage pretty much covered anything I'd say, haha. Sorry about your sister.
Strong passwords? Umm.. a sequence of numbers in there always helps. And don't make the password really short. Like... 'sos2' or something. I'd say 6 or more characters long is a good size.
