A while ago I made [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1173375&highlight="]this thread[/URL] because someone made a strange video where they were pretending to grief me in creative. I found those videos by searching something like "Minecraft Glent" on youtube and decided to do it again to see if I could find more strange stuff. I came across these four videos:

Does anybody know what he is saying? Does he have access to my account? Should I be worried? He does have my current skin.

[video=youtube;gQlg_q4SMXU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQlg_q4SMXU[/video]
First video went something like "Hello my name is Vlad and i've decided to now use the pseudonym Glent because of my new skin"
I couldn't bear watching further because of his voice
[editline]21st July 2013[/editline]
They're pretty much just a preteen Russian kid's tutorials on how to build shit
seems harmless
He is just using voice filters to sounds "cool"
Go to 15 seconds in the first vid to hear his real voice
Also, remember that every pirated client can access any name (even if a registered one) and can use them in any pirate (no online nickname checking) server. They will appear with the skin that the original user has but otherwise are harmless since they can only play in pirate servers and have no access to your information.
reminds me of the random foreign kid who used my name (and a hacked client) and thus, my skin

when i changed my character to a cutesy pink anime girl shortly thereafter he stopped making videos
Yeah, I remember some Russian kid with a pirated account has been using my skin and nickname. So it shouldn't be a problem.
edit: yep lol that's a second video, now from someone from Italy

That stuff is scary. I've had my account used by a hacker only once though, It wasn't to big of a deal with that though. I know that feeling for what it's worth!
I searched my name and found the exact same thing...
How the fuck... I did get a few password reset emails a while ago, is he in my email as well?

I've had the same happen aswell, I believe that people with cracked clients can type in any username without a password and use the name / skin.
They don't really have access to the account, and can only play on cracked servers, but I did receive a few password reset requests too.
Honestly I didn't know the Minecraft LP craze went this deep, but it sure does.
This happened to me.
He started to use my skin, and name and everything.
He also had access to my email too.
I changed everything when I changed my skin to a nude girl. During his live stream he actually played minecraft and got so embarrassed he stopped making minecraft videos AND normal videos.
Basically they guess your password for example my old password was [sp] axel22134, but not anymore [/sp]
Basically change your password every week and migrate your account.
Yeah ok why are people using my name in their tags for minecraft videos.

It's a bunch of scam shit too. I'm suing for defamation. Or whatever the right word is.
God damnit, been searching even more and I keep finding more videos, even some rather recent ones and it's really bothering me.
Anything we can do youtube-wise? anything in the policies that would let us take the videos down?
I've noticed more videos now of foreign kids using my account too, I almost wanna flip out watching these little shits.
Oh. Wow. The same thing happened to me, done by Spanish/Mexican kids, sometimes Russians.

I'm going to agree, it's probably people using a LAN server and finding skins they like from a skin site.
I'm Woolio1 in all instances except in that video.

You can send password reset emails without logging in. They probably tried to reset your password, but were never able to get into your email to change the password.
I only use Gmail for my emails, and I've got it set up so my accounts can only be accessed by certain allowed computers, otherwise it'll text me a verification message on my phone. I got some password reset emails, but never got the Gmail verify texts, so they never got into my email.
This was a glitch in like 1.5 before the new launcher there was the offline glitch where you type in any name and it lets you play minecraft for free or something.
my brother did it on my vista.
Oh god I searched up my username as well (Ezerith) and people have been doing it on me as well
A whole fuckton actually

I know it's harmless but it's still pretty damn scary
Having the name of ExEcute makes it pretty impossible to find anyone using it on youtube since all the results includes how to execute certain enemies including saddam hussein
This is crazy interesting/weird, even my account has been used, only one video though.

As long as they don't have access to your e-mail account, I think your Minecraft account is safe.
Well, mine were stolen too. I contacted with stealer, and asked politely to change, and he replied "I bought a legit copy I am using a nickname DrAkcel_ so fuck off"
And what to do in this case?
Change your skin into a penis.
[QUOTE=afromana;41983156]Change your skin into a penis.[/QUOTE]
That's the problem, there IS an account DrAkcel_. With my old skin, and stuff.
Oh, so he made a new account? That's a bit harder.
Not sure if there's really anything you can do.

Ehh, it's actually romanian. Back in 2011 when I didn't own the game me and some buddies used to do that too and there were two really big romanian Minecraft communities for people with pirated clients.
