It appears that Neopets once again has cookie grabbers on the site. They are in user shops as well as on userlookups.
Some people have been pricing the items in their shop well below the average price, ensuring that plenty of people come to the shop, where the cookie grabber is located.
To keep your account secure, we advise you to do the following:
Go here, activate a PIN, and place it on all available areas of the site. PIN numbers cannot be gained by a cookie grabber.
Place all items from your inventory into your Safety Deposit Box. You cannot place a PIN on your inventory, but you can place one on your Box.
Change your email here, and not validate the change. This will ensure that if your account is compromised, whoever gets in cannot change the email to which the account is assigned for 24 hours.
We also suggest that you withdraw all neopoints from your shop till, as they will be easy for someone wrongfully in your account to take, as the till does not have a PIN number assigned.
Also, it is recommended that you bank all neopoints, and then proceed to withdraw one neopoint from your bank fifteen times. This locks you out of your bank, only allowing you to deposit neopoints.
And last, but by no means least, you should make sure that your password is not easy to guess. You can change your password here.
You don't want all of these stolen!
Edit by _cattigan_: Be careful! It has been reported that people are getting multiple Neofriend Requests. Unless you know the person that has requested you, it is advised that you do not accept the request, or view the userlookup of the person that has requested you, in case they have a cookiegrabber on their userlookup.

Its also worth noting that deleting your cookies then logging in again is pointless, as you get a new cookie each time you log in, which is just as vulnerable as the original one.
