But many children don't have emails. That's not the reason, but to respond, on most websites, if you're under the age of 13, you must enter your parent's email so your parents know what you're signing up for and other things. And besides, the hackers don't seem to be hacking via password. They're using a very complex and unpredictable/undetectable way. Complex? All they have to do is enter another user's secret code! Or the answer to thier question. I don't think that's how they're doing it either, at least not all the time. Just look at how clingwrap's account was hacked. Via friend request. NOT secret question OR password. Via friend request? But how??? I'm not sure. For more information, see Cattlepult's comment on the newest KK WOrld Newspaper. It explains how she was hacked. It is possible, I know for a fact, to hack via friend request, but I'm not sure exactly how. Which would help us figure out how to stop this. I'm going to ask my friends who know how to code. See if they know.
