Sololearn Hacked?

Question

I'm working on a "web" project in the Code Playground, and every time I run or save the code I get a note added to my CSS code (and sometimes HTML) that says /* Created by HEMASREE N */. Does this mean my account is being hacked? Nothing else is wrong with my code but it seems strange. Thank you!

Answer 1

No there's nothing wrong with that. When we open other people's code and then we save it for our own, SoloLearn automatically adds a little note in code header, to note the name of original code author.

It's a policy that SoloLearn implements because some people complained when their code is copied by other user, and then the user who copies the code claims the code authorship.

Answer 2

It happens when you save others code in your profile, to give credits originals according copyright policy.. ..
Even with copy-paste, we must give credits to original...

edit:
if it is your own new code, pls show an example here

Answer 3

Thank you for the answers everyone! I started my code from scratch so I'm not sure why this happened. It was not copied from another user. I'm not too worried about it since it's nothing that someone would want to steal (basic html and css), but it still seems odd.

Answer 4

Here's a sample from the beginning of the CSS, I deleted it from the HTML and it's not coming back anymore.

/* Created by HEMASREE N */

h1, h2 {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Tahoma, sans-serif;
text-align: center;
background-color:rgba(203, 211, 197, 0.0);

}
