Omg! How would I know if I have been hacked?

It's doubtful you were hacked, and even if you were in chat with a hacker it's doubtful he could do anything that would affect you personally. For as big and as heavily trafficked as Streamate is, they probably have layer after layer of deterrent software to protect every activity possible on the site. Whatever Streamate does about making the site "hack-proof", they would know best as to what could be done by a hacker. They would also know best if a hack has occurred. I am by no means an expert on the subject, but my best guess is a hacker would have to be able to hack through Streamate's firewall and security before they could get to you or anyone else. And, that's probably not possible. I would also wonder what would be their reward or motive for going through so much trouble and effort.

ANYTHING is possible and they would do it to get a girls legal name and address on file via hacking her and digging into her account
but yes it would take an awful lot of time do it and they would surely get caught midway thru IMO

Have a quick question about pay that no one at SM will answer. I have been signed up since November but did not actually go on until December, literally for a few minutes and got one private, not enough for payout. However, will I still be paid for this week next week? I searched the forums but it confused me a little bit because I read that they paid a few weeks behind but then someone else said not unless that is what you opted for. I emailed support and...nothing.
If you got only one private and it was not enough to make payout, then no you will not be paid until you reach payout. Whatever you made that was lower than payout will be rolled over to the next check.
As far as if they will pay you 3 weeks later or 1 week later, support should be able to answer that for you. You could also PM Vanessa on here and she could probably tell you as well.

Agreed.
It all depends on what you mean by hacked. A huge portion of people in North America have already been 'hacked' and currently have rootkits on their system from downloading pirated software from torrents. (*shrugs*)
Some hackers want to destroy data, some hackers want access to data to exploit it and some hackers want access to your CPU for processing. ;)
If you are really concerned that you've been hacked then the way you'd have to deal with it is that you'd literally have to format your whole computer and start from scratch and lose everything. This is not a course of action that anyone really wants to go through unless you are 100% sure that you've been hacked.
Maybe now is a good time to remind all camgirls that you really should back up all your important files on a drive somewhere that isn't on the computer you are using so that way if you get hacked by a douchebag, get a virus or have a rootkit in your system you won't lose everything. ;)

^ better yet get online backup. that way if anything happens - natural disaster robbed/broken into all they get all ur tech ull be able to re-download/recover all the data onto ur new computer. i think everyone should have a in home backup and an online backup. u can do something called mirroring in Windows where it will automatically backup EVERYTHING u have or certain folders/directories in ur comp and make an exact copy of it.
Links - how to mirror

Hey, if that stupid comment helps you backup important files now so you don't lose them later in some other situation than that guy ended up doing you a favour by accident. ;)

I had a return customer get a show and when I checked our sessions report it only showed 2014 is that normal? Is there no other way to see the past years sessions? Also is the phone working for anyone else now? Each time I have logged on in the past two weeks there is still the red banner saying the phone is down and they are trying to restore service. Thanks :)

I have a quick question about geo block, I know that when geo block is enabled you can't see your placement but I was wondering does it affect your placement at all? I currently have it disabled and I have worked my butt off to get to the middle of the first page, if I enable geoblock to block the city I live in will that effect my placement at all?
space_cowgirl
01-07-2014, 04:38 PM
^Yes, I have read that even geoblocking one city affects placement negatively.

Ok, so you know that "You need 30 pics to delete pics" thing? Does that mean that you always need 30 pics at a given time, or could I upload 30 pics and then just delete like 28 of them?
temptingmodel
01-07-2014, 08:03 PM
must have 30 pics.. I deleted a bunch went back and added some thinking if I add , I can delete.. right? WRONG lol you have to have so many albums and pics. its confusing but we have control? lol :D

It might be better to start a new thread for this but I'm wondering if any of you ladies utilize games and raffles during gold show countdowns. When I'm on chaturbate or MFC I always play games in my room and thought maybe I would try a couple during a GS countdown but was wondering if anyone else did that. I stumbled into one room a few months ago where two girls were playing what looked like a really fun game but only a couple of the chatters were playing so I don't know how it would go over. What do you think?

I also noticed that a bunch of my guys who should have 1's or 2's beside them don't now. It was weird because I thought I knew the guy lol and he has spent alot last show last week so I know his number would have been there. Then i got a guy with a 2 that I am sure I have never done a show with he had a very weird name that I would have known. Sm is acting very weird lately and I am on page 2 usually on page one. Oh well as long as it does not affect my money I am ok just wish I could see past sessions and the numbers back to my custies so I can know who is who and if they have spent much before or not.

You do realize that custies can change their username as much as they want right? So there's really no way of knowing who someone is if they change their name unless you've made notes on them.

You always have to have 30 pics, spread out over at least three albums. So if you add pics until you get to 32, you can delete 2 of them. At that point, the delete option disappears.

It is alot of my guys though I asked a few if they changed anything they said no and all of their names are exactly the same so I don't know what is going on. Support was not helpful at all.

My performer name is not even close to the one it says the message is to and when I saw it in my inbox, it said from smsupport.
Did anyone else get this?

Out of curiosity I just checked my SM inbox... another MochaDreamz. I wonder if the real MochaDreamz will ever know.
I looked up the profile and couldn't find it but IDK if that might be due to geoblocking or what.

Awww, am I the only LittleMermaid? Lol
Okay, this just got weirder. I went and looked at the message again and now it says I'm MochaDreamz.
In the copy/paste I posted earlier, it had me as LittleMermaid.
Why would that change after I've opened the message?

Doesn't appear there's a real MochaDreamz camgirl working anywhere... probably some sort of a mass email test or experiment.

I had a great racial show last night. Lol. I wasn't expecting it, I've never been asked to do one online before, so I was surprised. My husband randomly likes to throw some slurs at me when we're having some intense playtime, so I wasn't completely new to it (Though I guess it's different when you "know" whoever is doing it). Surprisingly, it was a blast! I hope I get more since it was almost a half hour show! :)

I have noticed that by using keywords in my first impressions message it sends all the boys to the yard. If you haven't done it, I'd get on that. They seem to be acting better than keywords as it drives guys specific to that fetish right to your room. I have at least 9. I've just added CEI and have gotten a lot of long EXL from guys who are crazy about it.
