(Suspicious) I think soloLearn might be experiencing a cyber attack or at least someone is hacking it's users.

Question

I was chatting with John Wells whom had answered a question on my post. I decided to message him so I could talk to him about a small project I was working and the tons of bugs it had so he could help me out. That was yesterday. He did reply yesterday but we couldn't talk much because of our time difference. Today when he replied I told him about the project and he said he would review it. I was about uploading the code to soloLearn so I could send it to him when I noticed that his name was changing from John Wells to different names within seconds. Some of the names it was changing to were people who have previously commented on my post before. I quitted the app and restarted it at least 5 times to be sure of what I was seeing. At first I thought it was a bug, then suddenly the name stopped changing and to my surprise what I saw was 'Abdulhakim-Cracker'. It's very unlikely soloLearn would make such mistake even if it was a bug.
Anyone else experienced anything similar?

Answer 1

I don't think it's a cyber attack
Just sololearn down

Answer 2

🌸Little__Cherry🌸[Đ€VÎŁ👿] Thank you. I also thought it was a bug it was the name that scared me.

Answer 3

🌸Little__Cherry🌸[Đ€VÎŁ👿] soloLearn is always having one bug or another. They are poor in maintaining the app. I hope they fix it soon. My project still has buuuuugs. 😩

Answer 4

I looked up Mr John Well's profile and it looks fine. But when I try to send him a message it says I cannot start a conversation. Based on the flow of our chat, it is very unlikely that he would have blocked me and interestingly another account in my message box also showed similar behavior. The name went from 'Thomas' to 'Cipher Suphen'.
Or am I the one being hacked? But then again, is it not the same thing? I will urge soloLearn developer's to look into this.
Anyone have an idea of how I can upload a picture here? I will be able to show a screenshot.

Answer 5

Prasanna Lal That's how it seems. They might they might just pretend it's a bug because they don't want to scare it's users.

Answer 6

「ＨＡＰＰＹ ＴＯ ＨＥＬＰ」 Then why the strange names?
