So it's like 2:34 AM when I'm making this and I'm just really bored and thought I might help some people out, considering that whole database leak situation. New method's for hacking are constantly discovered along with exploits used so don't blame me if this doesn't 100% work. *Not promoting hacking, but is just simple knowledge that you all should know*
Database Leaks:
This is usually what gets people hacked in this community, because there are so many databases being leaked daily and most of the time not known that they have gotten leaked, you are most likely prone to be hacked to this method in the community. Don't believe me? Take Vape's database as an example (no diss papa manthe), Faithful's Buycraft, VeltPvP's Forums, Planet Minecraft, etc. One easy way FREE way to check if you have been on any MAJOR database leaks is if you go to (https://haveibeenpwned.com/). Although it may not always work for smaller databases. If you are willing to buy a subscription I'd recommend (https://leakbase.pw/) Where you can check if you've been on any smaller and larger databases (It does show you the password on the database sometimes). Although this might sound good, there's most likely better alternatives to which I can't really provide but it doesn't mean that one is trash it's just that most databases are private these days and you'd have to have hella connections to access them. The way to combat this problem is by constantly checking if you are on databases and changing your password along with other things I shall mention in a second. Don't think just because you aren't on any databases you can't get hacked either. Just know that this is the eZ skrub way of hacking and it's honestly in your control to prevent. S/O to my boy @KyotoGang.
Autistic Passwords:
Most of the time from what I've seen some of the minecraft kids have the worlds shittiest passwords. "minecraft123" head ass. I'll make this short and sweet and just tell you how to combat this issue because the title says it itself. If you honestly want to have a good password there's a few steps. 1. How long is it? 2. Is it secure? 3. Can you remember it? 4. How often might it be used?. You always want to make sure your password is very long, secure, and not used often. Being able to remember it is just a plus. The main important part is that you store the password somewhere secure that you can access at any time. (Notepads on your phone, encrypted note documents on your computer, LastPass programs, etc.) You want to make sure that the password is almost impossible to crack and would take a long ass time to do so. This in my opinion are the most important steps to being secure as with the Database Leaks, this is 100% in your control. I'd recommend you get a really long password, turn that shit into arabic or chinese, and make that shit backwards and upside down as well as include numbers and symbols and slap that shit into an encrypted note document hidden deep within your computer and use it when you gotta use it.
Authentication:
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 2 STEP AUTHENTICATION ON EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. I cannot stress this enough. The main concept of 2-Step Authentication is that even if they have your password they cannot get in as YOU need to verify it using your mobile device. With GMAIL there are many different types of authentication like Mobile Number Authentication, Google Authentication, Google App Authentication, (That one USB shit that you plug into your computer and it verifies it's you idk the name its rlly late and im tired), and more. I'd recommend you do Google Authentication, Google App Authentication, and that usb shit I was talking about (It's really cheap and it's an actual object). Phone Number Authentication is iffy because if they know your number its an eZ exploit to get in. More or so, if you get SIM Swapped (Swat? idfk I'm tired and I can't think atm it's one of the two) after you are basically fucked right then and there. And even if they get through your authentication they will have your mobile number and they could easily SIM swap (swat?) you. Basically they just call up your phone provider and ask for your info, it's like an ISP Dox. Anyways, Phone Number Authentication isn't complete garbage as long as you know what might happen if they get in, and you are confident you are secure for it. Also, there are certain exploits with 2-Step Verification like the Phone Number so be weary and choose the best one.
Other Methods:
to be added: I'm tired as fuck right now and I don't feel like adding this shit but just know there are other methods, Databases and shit are just the lazy way of hacking accounts. Just change your password weekly if you want and add 2-step and you should be fine against 80% of these mineman skids. For the other 20% well it's 50/50 ya know. Beyond my control on their knowledge not gonna guarantee this shit works against fucking anonymous or some shit. Just know that there are other methods to getting into your accounts that I will explain what they are and how they work and how to stop them tomorrow so keep updated.
Overview:
Make sure you have a REALLY long password that has symbols, letters, and NOT EVER USED ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE OR GAME. MAKE SURE ALL YOUR PASSWORDS ARE DIFFERENT AND ORGANIZED. It would help if you made half that shit Arabic that's backwards and upside down. Make sure you have the max 2 step authentication that you can do, Make sure you are constantly checking for updated exploits and database leaks, and 100% be sure you don't ever use any REAL information when you are buying Minecraft ranks / donating on anything in general unless it's IRL shit. (Doesn't really fit into jacking accounts but just thought most of you who donate $$$$ to servers should know you really shouldn't be using your real information.) Now I wouldn't be surprised if I got hacked after this because someones gonna take this as a challenge which it isn't but don't be surprised if you see my account's mood message as "HACKED BY MODZ @BotnetSetups2 or Compromised by @KyotoGang (the homie)" Just please be aware that they are exploits to everything these days and even if you are 100% secure as you can be, doesn't mean that you are invincible to a hack. If you have any questions just reply to this with them and I'll respond as soon as I can. Also if you have any comments or additions to this to help some people out just leave them down below into the cancer section. (If I somehow don't get hacked let me know if you want a tutorial on how to NOT get Doxed by the simplest methods used. Again doesn't mean it's not possible but you just won't be able to get doxed by some skid who thinks he knows shit. Doxing isn't complicated honestly to do at all because your ISP's make it so fucking easy to do but it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more secure with your information.)
