[IMPORTANT] Account Security

Thanks for the notification and the effort to keep it safer!

It's no wonder that so many people possibly hack BHW, since it's the biggest money making forum.

I do two-step auth and feel much safe :)
 
Thanks !

2 step auth from 2day on.
 
thanks for the info however if they disclosed info i believe it's on them since its same as opt-in in the fact that they are willingly entering their information. maybe the persons are not as skilled at getting people to divuldge info... and made it obvious to some but fact is they still gave up info just like anyone else
 
I am going to change my registered email address and password. Thank you for infomation
 
2 Step Activation activated.
Thanks for the security breach update.

We ♥ BHW
 
There are existing websites in which you can check whether your e-mail has been hacked :)
 
Thanks for the info, i use 2 Step verification for paypal as well. It's maybe a pain, but i will be happy to have a secure Account whenever someday my password could get hacked.
 
Thanks for the info guys although I don't think we are to much interested for some hackers those "are some kids playing around" using some exploits of the codes.This will be and always will be.
For better security I would suggest to use gmail as email.
 
I was wondering about this as well because https://haveibeenpwned.com/ shows that the email I use on BHW has been compromised (I haven't used that email in any other forums):

Black Hat World: In June 2014, the search engine optimisation forum Black Hat World had three quarters of a million accounts breached from their system. The breach included various personally identifiable attributes which were publicly released in a MySQL database script.

Compromised data: Dates of birth, Email addresses, Instant messenger identities, IP addresses, Passwords, Usernames, Website activity

Coincidence?
