Pretty urgent question please help me

So I got DDoS'd about 2 hours ago, happened twice and i unplugged my router and it seemed to go back to normal.
I was stupid and accepted someone on skype.
Anywho, can I get hacked via getting DDoS'd? he didn't send any weird stuff even if he did, i wouldn't accept.

Thank you, tbh I'm pretty worried atm as I have no access to Maple until a few days later.

@VipDabes: It exists, we just have little kids runnin' around being like, "Oh I know your IP address, I can hack you!"

[quote=VipDabes]LOL. Everyone on MapleStory is lying when they say "I have your IP address i can take you down".

[b]No one knows what to do with it[/b] It's always a 12 year old hormonal boy that is trying to scare someone.

So therefore, it's non-existant.

Show me you can "get into my system" please.[/quote]

like i said i think, but after some googeling you can find some intresting stuff how it may be possible.

[quote=VipDabes]I want to make this very clear for everyone.

[b]You cannot get hacked on MapleStory through the game. It is impossible unless the person has access to Nexon's servers, in that case, Nexon would take action literally before he could cause harm.[/b]

The only way you get hacked is if someone knows your account information. And then, there comes a whole lot of stuff that drops down.

>>Keylog- YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD SOMETHING. 99% of the time, your antivirus protection will scan the item you are downloading and if it has anything in it that can be harmful, it is terminated on the spot.

>>Remote Hack- Okay- it doesn't exist. It's a myth. Remoting your computer means you downloaded a software in which they can control your computer from theirs. And, teamviewer , they would have to know your password and stuff and that information changes daily.

Anything you hear about "Oh no, he about to hack me" isn't true.[/quote]

thank you man, however my thread is gonna go down pretty soon, also this time there isnt many people on Basil,
i'm sure people would appreciate it if you posted it during an active time.
Nevertheless thank you ^^

you could also report this to your ISP who can track down where the attack is going from. This is a criminal offence. Though very hard to pinpoint the exact person, I would love to hear a story where this has happen and the person got prosecuted

[quote=KoreanBoy214]Ddos is just flooding your network with spam so it lags/crashes. Your account can't be hacked unless they send you a keylog or you give them the information unknowingly.
You can: replug the router/change ip/ call your internet company[/quote]

I can't tell you how much you've calmed me down.
Thanks a ton

I have no idea, may be possible. Cause once I got hacked in-game when this guy some how dc/d my internet for like a minute so that he could gain access. I'm not sure if this is the case here. For all you know, your account is fine.
