I missed alot of neopets and heard of some glitches such as the 4/4/04 password glitch, and need info, thanks!

Well, waht happened that was that when a user submitted a lost password request, the screen would show the email address of the user submitted, and something else, forgot what it was. This made it very easy for hackers to hack, and major players lost everything, I beleive there was a rollback too

when someone requested a lost password, instead of getting the page saying your word was on it's way - there was a page with the username, password and email. Went on for a few days - even after the "glitch" was fixed. Apparently some really bad eggs must have sat and made a list of usernames/passwords/emails - and hoped that people either wouldn't bother or didn't know about the whole thing.
