Title: gmx unsafe. Change your email guys
Post by: SuperPandaBear on October 09, 2017, 04:15:20 PM
I see a lot of people getting hacked lately. Are you all using gmx email provider by any chance? I have lost 3 gmx emails, luckily they were not used for anything of value, but if I used them in here, I could have lossed my account!!

I recommend that you use an email provider with inbuilt encryption that will not expire, like protonmail. I think protonmail doesn't expire, so try it out, and has nice encryption.

gmail is safe also at least from a non-expirating pov.

remember that satoshi got hacked because most likely his gmx account expired!!

I can confirm.

I have 3 Sr Member accounts in this forum. I tried to access the gmx accounts, and all of them didn't work. All expired I guess.

Changed all of them to protonmail. Gmail also good because it doesnt allow login from different IP address than yours.

Why did you start a newbie account again ?Account farming much ? Quoted for reference.

GMX data-breach ? I have never used the service and cannot comment on the authenticity of the company.But how does one get hacked if the account's email is private ? Were all your accounts GMX emails were public ?
