My SoundCloud Account is Compromised
This is not good. I'm not impressed. I was browsing around the internet late at night, primarily Discord, SoundCloud, TheFatRat's content, etc. when I realized I wasn't signed into SoundCloud. Keep in mind that I was signed in previously, and I commented on one of TheFatRat's demo tracks called No Escaping You. So here I was, commenting on someone's other track (not No Escaping You) and the comment "didn't save". So instinctly I tried submitting it again and again, and I was successful. I looked back later and I realized that I posted the exact same comment three times. No big deal, I just thought it was a "whoops" moment so I deleted the other two comments and replied to my own comment apologizing about the repeated messages. I found out later that night that my comment was gone and I wasn't signed in. I thought "oh, it's probably just a new browser or it needs credentials again, no big deal." I tried putting in my SoundCloud URL as I always do (/ronture, by the way) and it wasn't recognized. I thought "okay, maybe it's just a temporary thing" so I put in my e-mail address instead... It brought me to a sign-up prompt. I put in my information and it gave me an "unexpected error" so I knew something was wrong. I checked my e-mail messages and I didn't recieve any messages about violating their terms or a request to appeal. I decided to get in contact with SoundCloud support about it and they haven't responded yet, so I'm going to stay tuned and hope for the best. I tried to sign in again today and there's still no valid URL. Some things I did that might have made this happen is: 1. I accidentally posted the same comment three times, deleted two of them, and made one to apologize for the accidental comment post. 2. I attempted to repost/like a private song. 3. I reposted a song not available in my country. Whatever it is, I'm slightly annoyed and scared that my profile will be gone forever. I place my trust in the people at SoundCloud Support that they we will be able to resolve this issue. I'll stay tuned!
