I've seen several hack cases and it's not even funny how a user would be up, day and night just to create a reputation and it's taken away just in a moment; apparently, it becomes a mask to this deluders - AND NOBODY FUCKING DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT??
The vulnerability of every account doesn't depend on the people behind them - it depends on the site itself...IF IT'S NOT SAFE, THEN ITS NOT WORTH DOING AT ALL!!!!! I remember a time when I thought of initiating the "secret question" and I was told it doesn't do any good, it only exposes the account the more... what do I do then? It wouldn't be nice if this happens and my name is soiled for whatever unjust course.... I believe you see everything in here and you'll definitely see this; GIVE US 2FA THEYMOS... !!!!! Edit: signing a massage on my with my address?? Does that help?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

if you fully control an address and show it on the website it should help you if you are hacked.

Use a strong password. Keep your email account safe. Beware of phishing sites. Do not share your credentials with anyone. And, quit your bitching! No one will hack your account if you take enough care of your security. Edit: signing a massage on my with my address?? Does that help?
Yes. It helps in case you lose access to your account for any reason.

The vulnerability of every account doesn't depend on the people behind them - it depends on the site itself Is bitcointalk that vulnerable? I guess it all depends on who is in control, not the site. Edit: signing a massage on my with my address?? Does that help? I believe anyone who can maintain their privacy well and surfing the internet safely will be more likely to stay safe with a strong password for their account. Signing messages also helps, I was told someone signing messages help you recover your account in case of hacking.

It very much depend on the people behind the account and their behaviour. Is bitcointalk that vulnerable?
Not really, as we didn't have too many hack cases, at least not among the higher rank accounts. That of course doesn't mean that it coulnd't be safer by implementing 2FA as thatr's something that many of us would like to see happening sooner than later.

It's temporary tag because of obvious reasons. It was hacked. The vulnerability of every account doesn't depend on the people behind them - it depends on the site
If you are talking of the secret question, only to those who doesn't read forum's update, especially here in meta are the ones got problem with that. There's a reason why it was done, and it is easy how to recover the account due to that reason. No need to use capslock and blame the site, blame yourself for not having knowledge that could save you from experiencing this. I've been on this forum for almost 5 years and others are much more longer but never got a problem on that thing (secret question) or wasn't even hacked. It's not the site, it's the user.

What sorts of hacks are you referring to here on bitcointalk? I wouldn't sweat it too much though. Even if some joker manages to hack into someone's account, that dont mean the site itself is vulnerable and folks gotta be responsible for their own security - can't expect Bitcointalk to babysit everyone's account.

Looks like you've never used the secret question to recover your password, otherwise you'd know that if you use the secret question to recover your password, your account will be locked and you'll have to contact the account recovery team. You can read about it here. PSA: ACCOUNTS WILL BE LOCKED IF THE SECRET QUESTION IS USED TO RECOVER IT

No need to use it for me to know what it could happen because it's all over the forum do's and don'ts. Besides that, i really hate that security questions in any website that require it that's why i didn't touch that thing unless it's required.

No the users get hacked due to their own less-technical nature and the site has nothing to do with that. I have seen many hacked Gmail, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, ChatGPT, and so other platforms accounts getting hacked and those sites are considered as secure by the users. If the database of the site gets hacked then that's a weakness in the security of the site but if a user's account gets hacked then that's not a weakness of the site but of the user who doesn't took care of his/her account and used a weak password or somehow his/her system got compromised.

GIVE US 2FA THEYMOS... !!!!! Edit: signing a massage on my with my address?? Does that help?
Sandra 🧑🦰
I'm okay with signing my address rather than a 2FA because it compromises your privacy we all know that companies own these 2FA tools, we are a decentralized community and we do not want to rely our security on tools being run by companies. We are not like all the other platforms on the internet they rely their security in a third party, we should show to everybody that we do it the Nakamoto's way

I think I would state something similar in response the OP. I am unsure what hack the OP refers to but in general, hacks are taking place everyday on some website somewhere and there is not much that can be done to protect this forum than has already been done. The rest is down to the individual themselves and they have to take their own precautions to protect their login credentials and so on. I've seen several hack cases and it's not even funny how a user would be up, day and night just to create a reputation and it's taken away just in a moment; What sorts of hacks are you referring to here on bitcointalk?

I have not heard of a case where an active user lost access to his account and was unable to regain it. Active accounts have access to sign a message, and hackers will not be able to benefit from the account, as changing the writing style will be a reason to doubt the account. The only case in which hackers can benefit from a hacked account requesting a loan without changing the password or email and hopes to obtain the loan quickly before the real user access that account.

I don't even know the basis for this post, is it for Theymos to give us the 2FA? And you wrote all those epistles? Well, it would have made more sense to me if Bitcointalk was the place where you keep your money or other valuable assets, but unfortunately, it's not, so 2FA should be the least of your worries on this forum. Personally, I don't care about it, this is a forum and I don't use 2FA in any of the forums I participate in, that's if they exist there at all. The reason why this looks like a must is what I don't know yet. If you like, you can continue to change your password and make it stronger and if you think you are being hacked regularly unlike others, you might want to look within your circle and be more protective of your gadgets. This is a community and everything we write is not even hidden, so I don't know where the too much concern about the 2FA is coming from.

First of all, what's with the yelling? Take it easy. No need to shout. Second, you are completely wrong. I'm no cyber expert, but from what I've read seems all researchers consider humans (that is, users) to be the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain. According to many studies, 9 out of 10 data breach incidents are caused by human mistakes. So I'd say how vulnerable a system is depends a lot on the person using it. This forum is no exception. Third, let's cut out the baseless FUD! If you genuinely believe that the Bitcointalk.org forum is unsafe or worthless, then why keep using it? No one's forcing you, right?

What sorts of hacks are you referring to here on bitcointalk? It's probably this case from October that was recently bumped: harizen - ban appeal. But the OP of that thread seems to have given up and hasn't been online for months. He can't expect other forum members to fight his battles if he isn't here himself anymore. I don't think the forum has an existential problem with account hacking and people left and right losing access to their accounts due to no mistakes of their own. If that was the case, we would see dozens of complaints weekly. We get a few complaints every now and then and it's unfortunate. Although we never understand what exactly happened, it's usually a mistake of the user. Some don't want to admit it, others don't know what they did wrong. But remember, prisons are full of people and they are all innocent if you ask them. I am not blaming anyone, just saying.

This forum was hacked for three times and the last time was 2015, I think it's already secure since we haven't suffer any hack anymore in the last 8 years. I could not find a staked address from you, I must be too weak to find things. If you have staked an address so far then you are safe. We have talked about the rest many times.
It's not necessary, he can sign a message from the address that he used to participate in signature campaign. Third, let's cut out the baseless FUD! If you genuinely believe that the Bitcointalk.org forum is unsafe or worthless, then why keep using it? No one's forcing you, right?
Of course it's for money. Don't get me wrong, participating in signature campaign is completely fine and signature campaign is the biggest reason why this forum has a lot traffic
