ACCESS TO MY ACCOUNT

Someone has had access to my account during the last few weeks and
made moves in my games. The "player" got bold in the game
127875 and told MartinS that the player was not me (Harri=Luck).

I have seen strange moves in couple of my games, moves against
paulis2bfree and boris13.

I will see if this will continue and I may change my screen name if it
does!

I may have forgot to log out from one of the computers in the library
or at the offices that I visited during at my work while traveling!!

Harri,

I think if you can keep your screen name and just change your
password. That way you can keep that person out.

Doug

Thanks, I will change my password.
I have at least 3 games where someone else made some moves for
me!

Harri / Luck

were they good moves? if so sould you leave me logged on
somewhere...

Jon (who doesn't mean to make fun of your situation, concidering how
annoyed he was when someone made 1 move for him 6 months ago)

Against paulis2bfree it was very bad, lost unprotected knight and
pretty bad in the other game too, against MartinS I did get a
reasonable opening, but not in my style. Against Boris13, several
moves, loosing the game!!!!!

IF IT STOPS, I DON'T CARE BECAUSE I AM NOT PLAYING FOR MY
RATING!! i WILL JUST RESIGN THOSE GAMES AND PLAY AGAIN!

HARRI / LUCK

Don't think that will work - problem isn't that the person has guessed Harri's
password - the problem is the computer is still logged in as Harri. Changing
the password shouldn't help - unless Chris and Russ somehow include psswd
verification during "transactions". Hmm...

Only things I can think that would help is if someone is nice enough to log
him out - or if someone wipes out the cookies on the machine, which will
effectively do the same.

Harri,

If you go into your settings, you can go from there and change you
registration detail. That should stop this. Sorry this happened.

Take care.

Doug

one to watch out for is - when you use a communual computer DELETE
THE COOKIES after you're finished. I think they can hold your log-in
details & be used by someone else to log in as you... or maybe I'm
just paranoid...

Thanks for the tip, but how do I delete the cookies afterwards?

Harri / Luck

Harri,

In Internet Explorer 5.x and higher, go to Tools / Internet Options /
General Tab. There will be a Delete Cookies (IE 6.0) or Delete Files
(5.x) button under Temporary Internet Files

In Netscape 4.x, or Netscape 6.x go to Edit / Preferences / Advanced /
Cache and click on Clear Memory Cache and Clear Disk Cache

Rein

Thanks!

or pour coke down the back of the machine... that'll do it ;o)

actually, have any of you heard of the diskette incendury bomb? Turn
a 3.5" disk into a booby trap so that when it's inserted into someone's
PC it nukes the harddrive... And NO! I'm not going to tell you
impressionable people out there how...

This is actually one of the biggest problems with RHP right now-- it
seems that if you use a public computer, and don't log out, that
computer will always automatically log you in from then on. It's
amusing to me to go up to a random computer in the library and find
out I'm still logged in there, but it's actually a bad thing, and there's
no reason someone couldn't log in as me and make moves (or,
worse, post messages).

At most sites, you are automatically logged out when you close down
your browser. I think the same should be the case at RHP.

Russ,
Would it be possible to do a forced log out from your end?
If I change my password, is it going to help, probably not!!
