There’s currently a glitch on site where, at random pages, it will appear like you’re logged into another user’s account, allowing you to see certain info like pets, neopoints, items, etc. It’s unknown if this glitch allows you to actually make changes to these other accounts, but now would still be a good time to update your PIN so no account changes can be made without it. It’s also unknown at this time if logging out will help prevent others from potentially seeing your account.
Will update as more info comes out.

Just as I post this, site goes down for maintenance. Hopefully it can be fixed soon!

...I'm starting to feel at this point that Neopets code is less like spaghetti and more like Jenga.

I don't even play anymore, so I'm alright, but how the hell does this even happen? xDD;;

Site's back up now. For me at least, things seem to be in order at a glance.

I had the same error. After asking around, it turns out that if you manually remove the "www" in your URL, the site will let you back in. (As in, go to "https://neopets.com/" instead of "https://www.neopets.com/") The caveat is that most games don't work without the "www." The only game that works and counts for the quest log is AAA's Revenge. We live in interesting times x'D how the hell does this even happen? xDD;; Here's a layman's explanation given by someone on the Neopets discord that I found helpful for understanding what happened xD TL;DR: Everyone's pets and items are safe, and the crisis has been averted for now

Looks like it's been confirmed that you couldn't actually make changes to another person's account during the glitch. It was a caching issue that occurred while they upgraded some system stuff, and though it would show you other accounts, it didn't actually give you access--you could "look but not touch," so to speak. That's a relief, nobody would have gotten idk their UCs pounded or something (Additionally, yay for upgrading system stuff! 🎉)
