Title: Receiving some emails about password change from exchanges and pools
Post by: Avirunes on March 28, 2016, 02:28:31 AM
I am receiving emails emails regarding password change and login emails from exchanges and pools.I think some of my accounts that i used earlier is now compromised.The main reason behind it is common password used for them.Just taking a step ahead i am also changing my bctalk account password as a security measure.Please suggest me what to do in this case now.

Hacker started login into my accounts this week only and login in :-
1]paxful.com
2]poloniex.com
3]minergate.com

Dont reuse your passwords, choose secure passwords. if you cant recall them all get something like KeePass.

After my last PW change i did this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1361412.msg13853622#msg13853622

Dont know why it is locked, PMed cyrus about it.

It started again this weekend after a gap in between.I am lucky that i had nil balance there and he only knows my common password.Though i had changed every accounts password .Now i am thinking to change my email as well and get accounts on all sites from starting.

I got the same emails from poloniex some time ago, but it do not get it again since I use 2FA on my poloniex account.
So maybe you can use it as well in order to keep your account safe from any hacker attempts.
