Let me make this more clear for you.... I recently downloaded the palringo app....that comes from palringo....I got a message from my server that says an ip address in the UK has been searching through my accounts. So I tracked them down, and it went straight to palringo. The application stole my account info

Actually your explanation isn't very clear.

I got a message from my server

What server? How did you get this message?

an ip address in the UK has been searching through my accounts.

"searching through my accounts"? What does this mean? And what accounts: accounts of IMs that you have connected to your Palringo account?

The application stole my account info

What account?

- ok maybe you don't get this...

1. I downloaded palringo on my android phone
2. I got a message saying that i can't log in on the app
3. I went online, and i got a message from my email, saying that there is suspicious activity on several accounts, coming from 1 ip address
4. I looked up the IP address, it went straight to palringo
5. I posted this up, and complained multiple times, and looked up other people having the same problem.

So what happens when you try to log into palringo via there desktop app?

You said you were able to check your email - so does this mean your IM accounts that palringo uses are still working?

You didn't answer most of my questions, but nevermind...

Why is it so weird and suspicious to you, that there were connections from Palringo IP, if this is exactly what Palringo should do?

you're still not getting this - they showed that they logged in with their ip address, and changed information on mine, without permission, obviously meaning that they logged in, with the info that was given to them

Yeah, but this is how Palringo works - it connects to services from Palringo servers. So if e.g. someone guessed your Palringo password, then he got access to all your connected accounts and all connections were from Palringo IP.

I mean: that may not be a guy from Palringo, but anyone who got access to your Palringo account.

this is not a random person, my password is practically un-guessable.... its a 20 letter code.... example : XAO352Fs3934HOe93kdj..... and who would have access to my account? i don't share my password, or my cellphone
 
unable to log into my account, with my password.....

1. WHICH Account? Do you mean just your palringo account, or all the IM accounts you are using with it?


Here is my guess of what's happened.
You installed Palringo on your Android device, started up and everything looks normal.

Now ONE (or maybe more?) or your IM accounts is indicating there was some weird activity.

You went to whatever IM account and noticed a bunch of connections from the palringo servers. (This is OK and actually not a problem - as that's how the palringo service works)

Thus - your handheld is probably logging you out and logging you in again over and over - which causes your IM service to think there is a problem when there is not. Either your 3G is going off or your wifi is going off - prolly when you put your phone in standby.

that is probably what happened.... but how do you explain the fact that my password was changed on facebook, and gmail?

Good question. It *does* sound like you hacked somehow - but I seriously doubt that anyone at palringo had anything to do with it.

Either someone got your palringo username/password and then changed your passwords to gmail and facebook via that (if you even can) - or you were hacked some other way.

I would take a close look at your home computer (or any other machines you've used lately) and make sure you have no virus / trogans / mailware etc on those because odds are that's actually where the hack happened.

Have you had any luck recovering your facebook and gmail accounts? What a bummer I know how bad that sucks.

So, IP addresses usually point to ISP s... How did you track and identify this organization or individual?
