Whats up with all the hacked accounts? Did you guys get hacked? PW possibly stored in plain text? I now know of 3 ppl who got their account stolen this month. So whats the deal here.

no one know , i hope bitcointalk have 2FA and then my password can't stolen . 2FA which everyone want bitcointalk update  soon .

This because of this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1067985.0
Password were leaked on 2015, and most of accounts which got hacked because didn't changed their password.

Ok, that explains alot.
What a shame there was no messages on the forums about this, or a pop up or something.

That means accounts created after 2015 are safe as their passwords weren't leaked?

I'm not sure but i can say all accounts which have been changed their passoword after that incident should be more safe.

check if your details have been leaked here. https://hacked-emails.com/

This is really a surprising news I just found out that by the time of 2015 there was the incident that some accounts were hacked.
means this can be a lesson for us to be more careful and to be more secure we can try to change the password from now on to prevent the crime happen again  :-\
