Have you ever been victim of hacking or any type of internet scams?

Well when my Anti-virus and firewall had a dispute I got a nice little rogue virus that wiped out my user account, so sure.
Also had one of my Runescape accounts hacked, luckily it was a crap account so I had the last laugh

Never even got a virus (well a serious one anyway). I make sure to be careful what kind of sites I go on.
Never. How is that possible you ask? Because i'm smart and can spot hackers like a trained sniper.
I once fell for the worst trick on Runescape (bare in mind, I has 7 or 8), someone said "Jagex doesn't let you type your password, try it", cue me, the idiotic child (who has managed to get his hands on a decent amount of loot) typing in my password, then realizing my mistake right after I press enter.
So did I do the sensible thing of making a PIN number on my bank account, and just putting everything in there? No. I logged off immediately, thinking I could change my password before they could. I was wrong.

I have never been hacked or taken advantage of on the internet, but a friend of mine left his facebook account logged in on my computer. Naturally I had to change his status to "I just lost the game"... damn it! I just lost the game. Anyways all of his friends bombarded him with playful hate mail after seeing the update.
Nope, never.
Not even one little piece of malware.
It's not that difficult if you're tech-savvy and have a reasonable amount of common sense.

I downloaded 'Anti-Virus 7' but thanks to my amazing brother he fixed it in a matter of minutes.
But my cousin has gone through about 10 XBL accounts 'cus he keeps on trying to get 10th prestige on CoD or free Microsoft points and gives his account details away to some randomer he says that 1 guy spent £100(Of his money) on Microsoft points...

The worst thing about it is that there are so many simple, basic things to do that have a pretty big impact on your security, and people ignore them or don't know about the.Rkiver said:
Norp. I'm reasonably cautious what sites I frequent, and between Stinger, Ad-Aware, ESET Antivirus, and a handful of small custom-built search-and-destroy programs I wrote to monitor the most at-risk portions of my computer, I can generally stay safe even when partaking in some of my more insalubrious activities.
