I have just received news that TSR are targeting Tumblr accounts. 3 sites, rawsimguts ,* ulnargroove. and another un-named site have been hit. It is unusual for 3 Tumblr sites to be hit together in this way. At this stage I do not know if TSR are using passwords from their database or if they have found a vulnerability in tumblr. Please, if you have a Tumblr account, back it up NOW, and never use a password you have ever used on TSR.
I am awaiting news from the site owner ( via ‘Name’ ) to see if her password was the same as on TSR, if she had any takedown notices, if she had any links, downloads or content that may have upset them or any reason at all she may have been targeted. I have no words to express how sorry I am to hear about these sites being attacked or how angered I am at the vulgar use of extreme pornography in a place where children can visit. I will update if/as soon as I find out anything more..
Many thanks to ‘Name’ for the warning, hopefully this early warning may save some sites from attack.
*Update. The rawsimguts hack was unconnected with the other Tumblr hacks, She was hacked by her boyfriends brother. However Tumblr seems to still be very much in the target sights with reports that 2 more Tumblr blogs were attacked in connection with the recent LivingSims hack. One had their password changed and the other, belonging to LivingSims, was deleted completely.
Update on Ulnargroove’s hack.
Here is a message from Ulnargroove..
Many thanks to Ulnargroove and ‘Name’
Text version of both screencaps for use with translators here.
Maybe this information that you have gathered here on the site can be used on Wikipedia? Mapping events, dates and times. Listing hacked persons, ea responses, screens of Thompeddos fake emails to mediafire.
Wikipedia is always on top of googles searches, and if people google tsr they could find out the truth immediately.
Just a thougt…

@SimSim – I totally agree with you! This should be publiched on wikipedia!
Sorry for my horrible english

actually, i believe rawsimguts was hacked by someone she knows personally. she said she knows who did it. i don’t mean to speak for her but i thought i should clarify that
not that tsr isn’t completely shady. when livingsims was hacked my tumblr password was changed on me, and the livingsims tumblr was deleted completely.

This is not hacking, but simply an user error. People should be more careful when they create an acocunt somewhere. Always use different passwords and use also strong passwords (combination of letters, numbers and then also use capital and normal letter, eventually combined with other symbols, like the at symbol)
Using the same password over and over again is asking for trouble and there is always a scriptkid who exploits that.

@SimSim – I agree with you too! This is happening for real, there are many proofs and victims, so I think this information is totally qualified to be on the Wikipedia. Too bad I don’t really have any idea about what and how gets posted there, but I hope someone is capable for doing this. Coconut, maybe you have an idea for this?

@Coconut:
I could help you. I’m from Sweden and it is easy for me to find info about his ass.
TSR is a part of 2 other firms he has, ODDJOB and ISACORP. He really is full of shit, prancing around in Sweden and having lectures and telling him about his success. People should know what he really is up to. His wife is totally in on it. The whole family is a bunch of thieves.
It is time to do something about it.
Reply: Are you sure about ISACORP? The one I found was American.
I am aware that The Isakssons own 8 business, but I do not know them all I have a list of 6 I need to dig out on another drive. Those I remember offhand are:
IBIBI HB
Oddjob media http://oddjobmedia.com/ http://www.oddjob.se/
hemsidadirekt http://www.hemsidadirekt.se/om-oss ( Tom is the tiny one in the middle dressed in the prison T shirt )
I am also aware there is something very shady about the Isakkson family business’. They also use 3 different spellings of their surname, which is strange. Tom even spelled his name differently twice in one post on TSR. One for his signature and one for a take down notice he was bragging about. ( I have the screen on here somewhere.) While searching for business owned by the Isacssons ( or however they wish to spell it today ) The owner is usually listed as Jan ( father ) with Tom, brother Johan and wife Anna listed as co-owners/directors. Search under both the TSR company address and his home address. -Coconut

Here we have Isacorp:

http://www.121.nu/onetoone/person/Anna_Sofia_Modin_Isaksson/8c9649c619ab6245f3c8bc103addd4ff
His wife is the board alternate there.
You know, the thing I don’t really get. If he has 8-9 buisnesses that are successful, why the hell is he screwing around with the sims creators?
I’m sure he could get a lot more cash if he focused on other important tasks.
His wife also has a business on the side, http://www.raritet.se/. (internal decorator)
here are some articles about him:
http://www.soderhamn.se/nyheter/nyhetsarkivnaringsliv/nyheternaringsliv/rekordmangaforetagarepaaretssistaforetagarlunch.5.7d171384133d1a23cb78000111.html

The real spelling is Thomas Ossian Isaksson. I Thing he americanizes it sometimes with the C and sometimes he skips the H in thomas.
He is a member of a lot of different communities, but he tries to play smart, he is just a member, but not really using the accounts so that he can spy on people within the communities. It is actually not smart at all. an unused account is a warning.
Most of their businesses are located in Söderhamn, Sweden. 6 of them on the same streetadress (HemsidaDirekt,
Ibibi HB,Infodirekt Norden AB, Odd Job KB, Odd Job Media AB, Raritet AB) on Kungsgatan 3 in söderhamn. When I check google maps, it is just a regular big town house, no signs not anything, so I think they all work from home:
http://maps.google.se/maps?q=kungsgatan+3+s%C3%B6derhamn&layer=c&z=17&iwloc=A&sll=61.303130,17.053441&cbp=13,327.9,0,0,0&cbll=61.303046,17.053551&gl=se&ved=0CAoQ2wU&sa=X&ei=hLi8T_q-Fsf74QS-oOSFCQ
I’m just sayin one thing: Sweden is a small country that loves tasty details and we have a LOT of gossip magazines. If we gather up all info we need maybe we can get him of the sims 3 terror.
Reply: Sorry, yes it was in spam. I am glad you let me know before I emptied it! Amazing work, thank you. That address is just a business address, not his home address. Would it be OK if I emailed you at the address you provided here? – Coconut

Have the courage to left t$r whatever your status other there your activity as I’ve done it yesterday I hope they truly delete my account I hope so because it’s a real relievement to leave and live with my spirit free.
I was sick and tired of this site all the beautiful stuffies are paid and I don’t like the buissness behind the scene, coconut you’ve done a fabulous job on searching infos about Thomas and his family I can’t believe people gives money and work like their slaves ! I’m very happy and I ask people do to the same if possible !
Reply: Well done! They will still have your info stored, so make sure you change your password EVERYWHERE. They have just hacked someones EA account, so make sure you change it there also. -Coconut
