I have fixed five members' hacked accounts this morning. I would suggest everyone change their password. Make it a strong password or better yet turn on two-step verification. Don't use the same password on other forums or other emails.

Thanks Ryan. I got a message from someone saying their friend wants to buy something. Gave them my cell and said PayPal only. We shall see if it’s legit.

Thanks Ryan.
Are you able to see where these dirtbags are logging in from through their IP address?

The other day I had those bogus pop ups taking over my screen on the forum. I figured something was up..

How do you know if you have been hacked? Can you still log into your account and see the bogus activity?

No, you will be locked out and if your notifications are on it will tell you your email has been changed. We made some changes so it should clear this up. But it always best to change your PW frequently.

I wonder how they get the passwords and why they couldn’t get a new one if you changed it. Dirty bastards.

They have to control the email. That's why they change it. Most people use the same email and PW all over the internet. Don't do that.

One data breach and they have all your logins!

Smokey, Sounds like you have alot of spyware and adaware if your getting alot of popups that is not the site but your browser. to clean that up go download Malwarebytes from here. https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/ install that (Yes its safe) and run it on your PC. Its Free for their basic scan and clean up
