• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

What Happened?

Luckily I use a different password for everything and I keep my little black book in the safe behind me in this room where I write every password for every site I got to, it has served me well over the years :)
 
Very quickly changed my password. Had a scare this afternoon when I couldn't get in again. All ok now though.

Cheers

I really fooled those hackers.
I entered my user name at the prompt, and then ...
the Wrong Password! Hah!
And I also only use one password for everything, including banking and stuff.
So it's really easy to change when something like this happens.
It used to be supacalafrajalisticexpialidocious99, but I've changed it...to Fred.
 
This really should be a wake up for all members. We have a lot of security on this site. For what little bit of security ya have on your computer if a hacker tries hard enough he can still crack your system. Hackers aren't interested in wasting time hacking into one computer. They are more interested in see how much damage they can do and what large amount of accounts and passwords they can steal. Then we also have trekkies who love to trash a site and deface the site just for the hell of it. The only time you are 100% safe on your computer is to unplug the Internet, as soon as you jump on the Internet you are fair game to any hacker....sucks huh. :isadizzy:

Do I need to do anything?

PS: This reply posted up with no problems.
PSS: I have things setup to remember my password when I visit the site so I don't have to log on.
 
Frank...You are good..


But..It is wise to change JUST your password as we were hacked and that is what they were after...
