Hi, a few months ago, I created a Minecraft server with aternos for my TikTok followers to play with me.
The first few days went great, but then something happened. I got disconnected from my server, and the message "Someone else logged in to the server with your account" when I rejoined, I was dead in the lava. I was really confused. It turns out someone was taking my place and was killing himself to make me lose all my loot. This happened a few times, so I decided to stop the server, the problem was unsolved.
I decided to make a new server with only a few friends a few days ago. Just like last time, something weird happened after a few days of fun. I was alone on the server, and then one of my friends joined (his nickname is Matox) At first, everything seemed normal. We were taking in the chat, and he claimed he couldn't call me for unspecified reasons. I found that weird, but it was not until he killed himself in the lava that I understood something was wrong. Another friend joined, and Matox, who now respawned in my other friend's base, stole every diamond and iron my friend had. The weird thing is that Matox wasn't supposed to know where the chest was. No one besides my friend knew. Matox then proceeded to burn the stolen loot and ask for the precise name of another member of the server, he was saying: "Give me the EXACT name" "What's his exact name, I need it to make a new friend." We gave the exact username, and he left... A few minutes later, a message pops up. "Someone else logged in to the server with your account". Of course, when I log back in, I see that I'm burning in the lava. This was starting to get creepy. My first assumption was that Matox was mad that he lost his stuff after killing himself and decided to hack the server and attack us. I confronted him in dms and he was lost. He claimed he wasn't even on his computer when we saw him in the game. he gave us screenshots proving that his computer wasn't on when the hack happened. I was and still am so confused. Is Matox trying to confuse us by saying he wasn't here? Is someone else hacking? Sure, it could be a random guy hacking us, but he knew exactly where the chest was, which Matox didn't even know (and he was speaking french, the language we speak together). It could also be Brot, it would explain the fact that he knew where the chest was. But why? There is no reason why he would hack us, as he's part of the SMP too.. So, since you don't have all the pieces, I know you won't be capable of knowing who the hacker is. However, how do I stop hackers from connecting to my account to kill me? And if it's not Matox, then what happened to his account? Can I solve this (Yes, the server is in cracked, I now removed cracked after seeing people complaining about it, but I don't think it explains everything, or if it does, please explain me) This mystery is so confusing.. I'm just asking for help on the hacking part, thanks!
