    I was looking through my online saves tonight and I noticed that there was a save called Singularity change ur key.

    So i did.

    I then went to open the save and it said it was corrupted.

    Thanks.

    Well the file corruption thing happened to me too, what I did was I opened a new page, pasted the stamp of my creation, and uploaded it under the exact same name. It still had to votes and everything

    But what do you mean by "change your key"? Your Git keypair?

    this is a serious problem, I will ask a friend of mine to trace the ip (a mod on the forum).

    well, unfortunately, your WAN IP fluctuates way too much for a good trace, sorry.
    EDIT: My bad, your IP was correct, the fluctuation was your hacker I'll report him to Simon. Check your conversations box please.

    I think "hackers" is a bit of an exaggeration, the person who accessed your account seems to know your password. I would suggest changing it and not telling other people your password. While I'm not going to publicly disclose the name of the member who accessed your account, I will tell you in a private message if you ask.

    Hi. I did it, because, singularity, when you published your beta you placer your powder.def in it, and it had your login key.

    I thought that, as there isnt way to PM, i placed a creation telling him to change his key. I did it with good intentions, i have already erased the file.

    Didn't do anything else(me), who knows who downloaded your beta and had really bad intentions.

    They didn't told me anything, I turned myself in

    I didn't wanted to, but if i didn't express my intentions I would probably get an IP ban.
