Very cool website, allows you to mine BTC from your web browser as long as you keep the windows open. I had some trouble with it at first but it worked in google chrome better than firefox.

Check it out

I got hacked! The hacker only posted 3 comments about the site mentioned in the post... I have NOT used the site and would most certainly not now as my account got compromised to advertise for this dodgy looking site.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND USING THE SITE!! DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Anyone know who runs the site at question? I'm on my mobile atm so its a pain to try and find out. To me it looks like it could only be that site owner! Glad they only advertised there site though..... If it is/was legit the could have just PM'd me and asked me too review it on my site haha :-)

No idea, I have a strong password tbh! I have confirmed at least 2 other members who have been hacked on here.

Do you use the password elsewhere?

ETA: May's well include my follow-up. Do you use LastPass or a similar online password manager? If so, do you use that password elsewhere, and is it a strong password? If so, was 2FA enabled?

Is that a sheepish "yes," or did I ask something stupid? Cheesy

Good for Theymos to know in determining if he should be checking in on this. If you're using a password manager, they're often at least able to tell you where else you've used the password if you do re-use passwords. Obviously, if you use the password anywhere else, you should change them and enable 2FA if available. Then you can let us know which sites... if I read you right.
