Change your passwords (and secret question) (Suggest stake address)

[notlist3d]

Still highly reccomend all that care about their account stake a bitcoin address: You do it over in Meta - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0

It needs to be a btc address you can sign a message with.  You ask someone else to quote the address that way if you are ever hacked 100 percent and lose access it would allow you to get your account back. 

With recent event's this is a very very good thing to have.

Never recieved this message. But it does tell you in the news of this site to change your password.

This thread has about lived it's life.  In a day or two I will lock it as it was only really for the day's after the forum attack.

If you have not I highly suggest looking into staking a address still.  It is a smart thing to do and really does not take long.

I noticed the site was down for a few days but did not check my e-mail about the need to change my password
Good to see it hasn't been hacked yet
Done and done thanks

I also suggest that WE somehow suggest a 3rd method to send a PGP encrypted mail to a central email address, with a key phrase. When your account is compromised, you could just ask the Mod or that person to open that message with your key, to show proof that it's your account.

The email cannot be opened without the key. I know Protonmail provides a option where you send encrypted email to any person, and they can only open it, with the decryption password. It redirects you to the Protonmail service to open the email.

This is good for now, but people change Bitcoin addresses and the hacker can wipe threads and possibly backups too, if it's not stored offline.

I think it would be clever to make a print screen of your post, just to be safe.

That is whole reason of having someone else quote your post.  They are the proof.  Chances of your post and their post both changing are very slim.

Obviously keep the btc address stored very safe even a paper wallet would work.  You use it to sign for forum.

As far as suggesting a third way meta would be place to do that.  I don't disagree with PGP being another good option.

I get emails and advised to change the password only and is not to change the secret question

Can you post email? You should change it aswell as it's possible it was taken.

I personally don't like it as it would allow change of password without email.  So if yo have a strong email password or better yet 2fa it really weakens your reset procedure.

Some use it, but I would stake a bitcoin address like I said.  And not use secret question.

well now I've changed the secret question I do not want to take risks I hope that this forum could use 2FA google auth

Last day of thread. Tomorrow it will be locked and let die as most everyone knows about breach.

I suggest staking a btc address if you have not yet.

[notlist3d]

Locking thread it has lived it's life.  No need for it anymore.

I still STRONGLY suggest staking a BTC address if you have not done it yet.
