A while back i was playing on an unpopular server with two other players that i did not know. After about four or five minutes my chat came up with myself saying "i will ban and ddos this server". I did not type it in, and when i cycled through my recent chat messages i couldn't find the message. Afterwards I changed my Minecraft password and scanned for viruses. I did not find any on my computer. The question is, who or what did this, how, and can I secure my account any further? Help would be greatly appreciated! I will answer any questions you ask. Cheers, MinecraftManiacChoc.
Either cracked server in which anyone can use anyone's name. Or a nick name plugin, in which the real persons MC name can always be found. Only two possibilities here. That or account compromised and you or they were online and then you or they logged in and both were on same account in which can work as there is no check for dupe logins once ingame last I know.
Thanks for the super-quick reply! If I reset my password, would my account still be compromised?
No, it wouldn't be. Change both password on Email and Mojang Account. Also ensure security questions for both email and Mojang Account are in check as well.
There are some server plugins that let people say things as other people. I bet that is what this is about, but changing your password wouldn't be a bad idea.
