Thanks for letting us know. I actually had no idea of this until I came across this thread.
It's really a bit surprising to me though how small of an amount has actually been compromised, when an entire forum has been breached into. I wouldn't doubt if the hacker has held onto some account details which at the time did not have any funds in them, because just 6 cases seems to be way too small
Even if you didn't sign into the forum during this time it's probably best to be safe, change your password and enable 2FA if you haven't already. It's a good thing that LBC is taking responsibility it seems and refunding people, which is at least professional on their part.
wow this is pretty scary, was it the first time happening???
I like localbitcoin and always thought its a pretty good site, not that fancy but usability is totally there
I hope more safe system will be in place to avoid this kind of scary hacks
Don't think it's the first time that LBC has given us a scare. I remember back in the days it used to be down every once in a while and people would panic. Small hacks had happened a few years back as well.
