Hello,

I just wanted to let everyone know that my account was hacked ajw7989. I contacted theymos a few days ago when I noticed it but still waiting for a reply. I can provide proof in terms of my old btc address but now since the hacker is using my account to give rep out and make posts I decided I have to tell the community.

Below is an old post with my btc wallet.

I would not be surprised if the person who hacked the OP's account is an alt of darrenw88, as the OP's account vouched for his PS4 games

Bought 10 accounts from him a week ago for $80 sent him the funds first and he sent the games over right away deal went smooth.

Why are more accounts getting hacked nowadays? Huh

Does forum has any security hole? You should share your experience on how it may got hacked?

We may be more cautious considering yours as an example.

The problem is not the forum, the problem here are the people... they should care more about their security.

You have to be patient, theymos answer not so fast about this kind of problem, but he will answer...maybe one month if you're lucky, my suggestion is write to him once a day or a little less to make this process faster

I know why your pray will never be answered!

Yes I tend to agree.Many people do not pay necessary attention to the security of their account which is very sad.I think accounts above Full Member are more prone to hacking therefore these rank members should be more cautious

It is possible that guy was just trolling, IDK. Strange if this is the case.

I would not troll my own account. Like i said i already sent the proof to theymos days ago and now badbear. I just hope they can work on it soon. They will see the IPs dont match either.

For the most part I agree it is based on user.  But some of these that are not active it is possible that the forum hack a while back was still valid on password.  We never figured out (i don't think) who did and ultimate goal of the hack of the forum.   If a user kept the same password as then they now have had months to crack it.

OP since you say you know you have a hacker I'm curious what was the cause?  Did you find anything on computer?  Or no idea what caused it.

Yup, the problem is the people.

More than the 50% of members of the forum use the same password in different sites/forums... or email.

I was using the same password in different forums, till one of them was hacked, since that day i'm using different passwords (written in a paper with especial characters, to difficult a possible "force-brute" attack).

2FA in the forum would be nice (or something like that).

Thats not 2FA, its just another way to recover your account and from the last breach we learned that its not as well protected as the password itself.

Im not really here, its just your imagination.
