He is the guy who hacked neopets

[Jens]

oh i remember that...

though i don't exactly know what happened then...

[Keith]

I think there's an article on PPT about it...

-Goes to look for it-

[smart1002]

yah, i read one about mari_jhane

private message me if u know somemore

[Keith]

Well then I think I'm thinking of the one on Mari_Jhane... I joined Neopets 3 years ago, after ad0 happened... I seem to remember a big discussion of ad0 a while back here on PPT... I learned a lot, but of course, I'm too dumb to actually remember...

I forget where I got this, but it somewhat explains who ad0 is (not necessarily what he did, I don't really agree with the reset stats part...)

Ad0, the guy who hacked Neopets

There is a real hacker/cracker among neopets. He goes by the name Ad0. If neopets is the Matrix, then he is "the one".

Very little is written about Ad0 because Neopets doesn't want you to know about him. I myself am not Ad0, nor do I know him, but he does exist. One time around mid-2003, you might remember reading in the "Neopian Times" about a mis-firing lab ray that was destroying pet's stats. That was a lie. It was Ad0 who caused it.

My friend was there, and saw it first hand. Ad0 made a script that reset and lowered the stats of everyone who posted a message in the Battle Chatroom that day. And for good measure, he reset the "famous" players accounts, of featheralley, v_team (when neopets still liked him), etc. We all know Neopets has favortism, meaning they "favor" certain players over others, they help out the players they like and screw over the ones they don't. When Ad0 hacked neopets and changed pets's stats, of course they restored their favorite player's accounts.

However, for the thousands of other players, they simply did not want to, or did not have backups to reset those players' stats. Pathetic. To cover up the perpetual lie that "neopets was never hacked", they had to say something about these thousands of players who's pet's stats were suddenly erased. They blamed it on a "mis-firing lab ray", even though lots of the players who had their pet's stats changed didn't even have the lab ray. Just more lies from Neopets.

This was not the only time Ad0 hacked neopets. He's been a thorn in their side for a long time. This is the only time I had first hand evidence (my friend was there and saw it happening). There are more stories . . . but don't dare mention "Ad0" in neopets. The staff will freeze your account just for mentioning him . . . it's all part of their web of lies and cover-up. They ban free-speech and criticism of neopets is met with punishment of neo-death (freezing your account).

So yes, neopets was hacked. And when they do go down for hours and hours or even days at a time, you have to wonder. Are they "upgrading" or are they just "being hacked". Was it really a "glitch" . . . or was it a hacker. A hacker like Ad0.

That scares me.

Not me...
A. I don't post on neoboards (ok so it's supposedly not the only place he could strike)
B. The guy detailing the above account isn't too intelligent. Next time, when he hear's it through his sister's exboyfriend's best friend, he'll call it first hand information too....

Its really amazing, how TNT kinda acts like the people in the politics world... They cover up facts with lies and favor towards certain people...

Wow.
That article is supposed to be a warning?
It's supposed to scare people?

Please. These people and their script-kiddies.

Is this where the article came from?..

"Screw you Neopets". Boy, that sounds like credible information.

An anti-neopets site? I'd almost rather trust the Neoboards.
