Security breach - Unauthorized Account Openning

Here is a security breach situation which I find baffling today 12/20/2014:
Today 12/20/2014 I'm not accessing the forum nor using any of my browser. Instead I was filling out some form in Word. While printing, my computer printed out the filled form plus an OPEN Lenovo account (mine) responding to a posting dated 12/15/2014.
Can anyone make suggestions on what to do with this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No worries. Actually I had something happen today that I had not even considered before. I have at a minimum 4 different laptops connected wirelessly to a router that has a wired connection to our printer. All 4 of the laptops in the house were using the 2.5MHz radio (dual band router) and I have been having a horrendous problem of my personal main laptop dropping its wireless connection. Tonight I decided to do something about it. After many hours of frustrating trial and error I did something that I had not even considered before. I have one laptop that also has a dual band wireless radio, so I switched it to use the 5MHz radio. All of the sudden my problems were solved, but I heard my printer running. Went to check it and it looked like the print spooler had puked. Just 3 lines of random characters Nothing anyone had tried printing ever. No one had even tried printing anything at all today, and there was nothing in the printer spool or in the cache.
Now I do not know if this has anything to do with what you are seeing, but it is strange. Have you been having network problems of any kind? I am just praying my network issues are over. I have been online for just over 2 hrs straight and not a single knockoff.

Can't access my existing FormsCentral account since security breach

I have not been able to determine how I can reach the staff about an issue I've had since the recent "security breach" that resulted in the rest of passwords.
I started an account with an email address (let's use [email protected] for the purpose of example), but have since changed email addresses (we'll say [email protected] for continued example). In my settings, I could not determine how to change the email address for the purpose of logging in since I no longer have access to [email protected], so I changed the settings to send all notifications to [email protected] and continued to login with [email protected]
That seemed to be working fine until the recent automatic password updates caused by the "security" concern. In the process of automatically renewing my password (which I had to do with [email protected]) I can no longer login to my existing formscentral account (where I have about a dozen forms being actively used). When I try to login with [email protected] and click "Forgot your password" it sends the reply to the email address that I can no longer access.
Someone PLEASE HELP. I need to be able to reach my original forms and figure out how to prevent this in the future.

When I close firefox "everything " is cleared! EXCEPT when I open it again and anything i have copied to the clipboard (paste icon) remains lit... I believe this can be a security breach because I clear everything when closing firefox !!

I have my settings to clear everything when I close firefox ver 3.6.13. If I copy something to the clipboard, the Paste icon lights up so I can paste the text... which is normal.
The problem is when I close the browser and everything is suppose to clear (history, etc) the PASTE Icon still lights up for me to paste again.
This can be a security breach because I want everything cleared when closing the browser !!!
The only way I can rid myself of this problem is to restart the computer... which clears the clipboard of the operatinging... which is absolutely normal as well.
I should not have to restart the computer each time.
Try It !!! type text in any box... then paste it by using the PASTE Icon
CLEAR all your history, everything ... then close firefox
Reopen the browser... and the PASTE Icon will light up

I only had a few addons installed, I disabled Zone Alarm toolbar, View Source Chart 3.01. I also had 5 separate java console updates/addons, and I uninstalled all but the latest java console 6.0.21. All I have now is Roboform 6.9.98, Firebug 1.5.4, Java console 6.0.21, Java quick starter 1.0. So far, so good, the problem has not occurred today. I hope this is it, I will be more sure after a few days problem free. Thanks for the info.

Mail OS X Security breach...

FYI.
Apparently my Mail program was hacked. I'm no expert on security breaches but the story goes like this...
Our ISP was acting up. I've verified w/4 others in the neighborhood (both Windows and Mac) using the same ISP who were experiencing the same issue. Would load some sites, some just wouldn't load. I've no idea if this is relative or not, but...
The wife couldn't check her email because the Internet wouldn't connect. I looked at it, figured it was down, and went to bed. Next morning EVERY email in all 5 of my emails accounts was gone, except for my wife's account. Per the wife, she checked before she went to bed and all emails were gone in all accounts. She said there was an open window called Tiger Mail that said; If you'd like to continue to receive your email, click here. (Uh oh). She did and her inbox filled right up.
Malware?
I did a full erase/reformat regardless.

See if you might have this malware redirecting DNS queries...

Want to leave CC after security breach. No support.

After Adobe's security breach, my card was cancelled by my bank the week I was to stand in a wedding.
I've tried to contact support in four different ways and finally recieved a call-back last week. They told me they would credit me through January, and would contact me later after "escelating my claim."
That night, I got a voicemail saying they were still looking into my claim and today, on deadline, I can't open any of my programs. I call them "my programs" because I've already paid over $300 for them. It only seems fair.
Having spent a year (and $360) licensing software and having absolutely no support, I want a download key for the three programs I use. I want to be done with CC and Adobe at large while still being able to do my work.

Your message is entitled in part "Want to leave CC".
I'm not saying that you shouldn't be upset and cynical., but if you are posting here as more of a threatening rant to get some attention, rather than actually request an Adobe employee explicitly cancel your membership, you probably should actually say what you want occur, not the opposite of what you want to occur.
For example, despite this being a user-to-user forum, I have seen an Adobe employee Beverly Gray come along and either cancel memberships or re-submit payment transactions for people who request such.
An Adobe person cannot make CC a non-subscription product if you're asking for an activation key, but if you have a new credit-card number entered into your account and the payments are not going through, then say that, and see if someone will help you.

IMac security breach

How can I check to see if my iMac has had a security breach?

The only way you can be sure that the computer is not compromised is to erase at least the startup volume and restore it to something like the status quo ante. The easiest approach is to recover the entire system from a backup that predates the attack. Obviously, that's only practical if you know when the attack took place, and it was recent, and you have such a backup. You will lose all changes to data, such as email, that were made after the time of the snapshot. Some of those changes can be restored from a later backup.
If you can't do that, then you should erase and install OS X. If you don't already have at least two complete, independent backups of all data, then you must make them first. One backup is not enough to be safe.
When you restart after the installation, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process for a new computer. That’s when you transfer the data from a backup in Setup Assistant.
Select only users in the Setup Assistant dialog—not Applications, Other files and folders, or Computer & Network Settings. Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled.
Reinstall third-party software from original media or fresh downloads—not from a backup, which may be contaminated.
That being done, change all Internet passwords and check all financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Do this after the system has been secured, not before.

How can I transfer apps purchased from one AppleId to another due to breach of account?

Due to a recent security breach not if my doing a user stole my apple id and needed to change appleid account. Now as a result i've lost all purchased apps from the itune store. I would like to transfer apps from one apple id to another without incurring additional costs. With sufficient information in direct contact with the store I should be able to transferable within the software or at very least with the itune store direct. Perhaps this is a way of charging additional costs for same programs?
Not a happy camper because of the theft in id but now to add insult to injury i'll have to repurchase the apps to properly sync with my devices.
Any help would be appreciated

You can't transfer iTunes content from one account to another. If someone had obtained access to your account credentials and you've had the account locked that should not affect the current authorizations on your computer, though it will prevent you from updating apps until you have resolved the issue. Rather than creating a new AppleID what you should do is regain control of your original Apple ID and have it reenabled with a new password, get, if possible, Apple to deauthorize all computers for your account (assuming you don't have 5 so can't do it yourself) then authorize your computers.

I'm trying to redownload my music onto a new computer and its not working..I think I may have two accounts open because the one im signed into is empty and I cant remember my log in info..and when I reset it it doesnt help.

I got a new lap top and I was trying to re download my music to the new one and it's not working. I think I may have to accounts open because its saying mine hasnt been active in a while and I know thats not true...and there is no music in the library it's all empty...is it possible to have two accounts open? if so how do I cancel one. and keep the other....

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

Security Breach on the Ubuntu Forums

So apparently the ubuntu forums got hacked and someone made out with 2 million usernames, passwords and email adresses- ouch! Their site is currently down. Just posting as an FYI because their advice is to change your password if you have an account there and use it for multiple sites.
Ubuntu Forums is down for maintenance
There has been a security breach on the Ubuntu Forums. The Canonical IS team is working hard as we speak to restore normal operations. This page will be updated regularly with progress reports.
What we know
Unfortunately the attackers have gotten every user's local username, password, and email address from the Ubuntu Forums database.
The passwords are not stored in plain text, they are stored as salted hashes. However, if you were using the same password as your Ubuntu Forums one on another service (such as email), you are strongly encouraged to change the password on the other service ASAP.
Ubuntu One, Launchpad and other Ubuntu/Canonical services are NOT affected by the breach.
Progress report
2013-07-20 2011UTC: Reports of defacement
2013-07-20 2015UTC: Site taken down, this splash page put in place while investigation continues.
If you're using Ubuntu and need technical support please see the following page for support:

If you're looking for a place to discuss Ubuntu, in the meantime we encourage you to check out these sites:

Unfortunately md5 hashes even with salt are easily crackable. On the other hand, it's just a forum account and since they alerted people early, anyone foolish enough to use the same password elseware can change the other password on time.
One thing I disliked is that they haven't alerted people by email, at least I haven't got one yet. I got this information from various source, but many people (dormant accounts / less frequent users) are unlikely to know of it.

Apple ID - security breach?

For over a week now I have been attmepting to establish the iCloud account for my new iPhone. However, I continue to run into problems with access. According to the Apple site, there is already an account established with MY email address ([email protected]) I have been able to log in to the account, but it asks for me to verify the ID, and when the email to do so is sent - it doesn't come to my email address.
The account has my last name but another first name. I don't know why someone else would use my email address, only I have access to it. But I want to establish ONE account for me with MY email address. The assistance I have been getting via email from the (wonderful Indian) advisors online has just pushed me around in circles with no results. Can someone please offer advice? How do I get my email address on my Apple ID?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
< Edited by Host >

It sounds like through a typo or cluelessness or what have you that someone else signed up for that Apple ID before you, so it "belongs" to them now.
There would be some things they could not do with it unless they verify a different email address as primary though since obviously they don't have access to your real email account.
But anyone can create any possible Apple ID by making up any possible ID in an email address format, whether or not it is a real email address of theirs, what matters are the verified email addresses within it at appleid.apple.com.
You would need to pick another Apple ID though. It would be a security breach at this point to someone else if you managed to take that Apple ID from the other person regardless of their mistake.

My computer continually asks me to enter my password for Keychain access. This problem is continuos and I am having trouble with eliminating it. I have changed my password through Security and my Accounts numerous times to no avail. Is there anythin

My computer continually asks me to enter my password for Keychain access. This problem is continuos and I am having trouble with eliminating it.
I have changed my password through Security and my Accounts numerous times to no avail.
Is there anything I can do other than Resetting the entire computer and re installing all of the software, apps, etc.etc.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

IPad / AT&T Security breach

What is the implication of the security breach reported at http://gawker.com/5559346/ for our iPad's? Is there any direct action we should take right now to protect our equipment and accounts?

Ahh i think i know how they did it. Do u remember when u goto cellular data in settings and check your account with AT&T, your email was pre filled with your email, now if u go, u gotts tyoe your email address out.. They must have passed series of iccid numbers (sim card serials num) and the webpage returned the email addresses... So now we gotta tyoe in our email address to get to our accounts, what a pain !
These hackers ought to be bougt to account for this thou, just cuz you discover a hole, doesn't mean u exploit it for financial gain and THEN decide to tell att about it... Tsk tsk o well mines just a gmail account anyway.

GL account opening/closing balances by day

Hi All.
I wish to list day by day opening and closing balances of G/L account by restricting the result to a time interval.
Anyone know how to write the query for G/L account opening & closing balances by day?
I found this in the forum and modify it to below:
declare @fr char(10)
declare @to char(10)
set @fr=convert (char(10),[%0],20)
set @to=convert (char(10),[%1],20)
declare @PrCl dec(19,6)
declare @de dec(19,6)
declare @cr dec(19,6)
declare @acc char(20)
declare @Pracc char(20)
Create table #W
(M char(10), Acc char(20), Me char(100), Tid char(10), Br char(10), TT char(30), Op dec(19,6),De dec(19,6),Cr dec(19,6),Cl dec(19,6) )
Insert into #W (M,Acc,Me,Tid,Br,TT,Op,De,Cr,Cl)
SELECT convert (char(10),T1.[RefDate],20)Mo, T1.[Account],T0.Memo, T0.TransId, T0.BaseRef, CASE
WHEN T0.TransType = 13 THEN 'AR Inv'

WHEN T0.TransType = 18 THEN 'AP Inv'
WHEN T0.TransType = 19 THEN 'AP CN'
WHEN T0.TransType = 24 THEN 'Incoming Payment'
WHEN T0.TransType = 30 THEN 'JE'
WHEN T0.TransType = 46 THEN 'Outgoing Payment'
ELSE 'Other'
END AS 'Trans Type',
0,T1.[Debit] De , T1.[Credit] Cr,0

Group by T1.[Account],convert (char(10),T1.[RefDate],20),T0.Memo, T0.TransId, T0.BaseRef, T0.TransType, T1.Debit, T1.Credit
Order By T1.[Account],convert (char(10),T1.[RefDate],20)
Declare cu cursor for
Select acc,de,cr from #W
for update
set @PrAcc=''
Open cu
Fetch next from cu into @acc,@de,@cr
While @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
Begin
If @acc!=@PrAcc set @PrCl=0
Update #W
set op=@PrCl,
cl=@PrCl-@Cr+@de
where current of cu
set @PrCl=@PrCl-@Cr+@de
set @PrAcc=@acc
Fetch next from cu into @acc,@de,@cr
End
deallocate cu
Select * from #w
Where M between @fr and @to
Drop table #W
but some of the rows are missing from the result. e.g. row with the same value of debit/credit ( same TransId and BaseRef) will come out once only in the result.
Please guide me on the above issue.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Hi,
You have to make use of many tables for this purpose.
1. You have to claculate the previuos period and finscal year for the given date..
2. You have to calculate the G/L balances for this period for the given G/L account from table GLT0.(You can use some of the standard function modules for the same)
3. You have get the line items from the various tables like BSIS,BSAS,BSIK, BASK, BSID and BSAD for the dates from the begining of the month to the given date-1. sum upthis amount with the amount retrieved from step 2 .This will be the opening balance for the given date.
4.retrieve the data from he same tables like step 3 for the given date. This will the transactions of the given date.
5. sum up the amounts from step 4 with step 3. this will be the closing balance for that date.
let me know id you want any further info..
Reward the points if i answered your question..

Did you know when you type in your email in google your behance pdf resume shows up? This is a security breach!

I typed my email address in Google and my Behance pdf resume shows up with all my information. Did you all know this? This is a security breach in my opinion.

HI Carol,
Thanks for writing. It looks like you had selected your work experience to be visible to the public, so this is why it was visible online. Now I see that you have your work experience listed as private (other than what you have on your profile), so this should no longer be the case. Let me know if you're still seeing this searh result and what exact google term you searched for it to come up.
Thanks, talk to you soon!

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.
