Security Breach Notification

Thank you for making this public. Whilst you could've kept it without letting anyone know, this puts more minds at ease because of it.
Thanks for the Information Omni.
O.o Legitti's Neg and Neutral reps and his given negative reps are also got deleted.
I Hope you will find that guy soon who have done this.
thanks for tracking down this ! this is usefull informtion !
I saw the ban page.

That really sucks, hope all gets well.
Well Cant we get some kind of extra security ? Like facebook has?

My idea is taken from facebook.

But here it is : Well for security reasons we could connect our telephone number to HF and get some kind of verification number to enter it. Or we could make a kind of app like wow where there is a authenticator that allows you to access HF And the authenticator generates a unique pw with 7-8 diggits that you have to enter everytime you login to hf. But the app makes a new pw each 1 min.

What do you think omni ?
On future note, I suggest to make passwords have at least one uppercase character and one non-alphanumeric character, to make it more secure.
Oh so I probably did get DDoS'd offline before? when I though I did 😏 (since no one else knows my IP)
Thanks for letting us know a lot of admins would not have 😎
That sucks for me, i dont know then. Gotta talk to rusty i guess

I almost hit 900 reps
Maybe something like a pin code staff has to enter when they preform extreme actions such as repfucks?

Like LR's pin to log in.
Philly basically took the words out of my mouth except for the fact I haven't been scammed personally.

I think karma did infact slap him today.

I can prove it wasn't me if you think it was tho, don't take this like I'm saying it was me. Cuz it wasn't.

That's why i use only gmail with 2 Step verification ;P
That's secure as hell

@ people saying "this wasn't me". I'd just like to throw in that you have absolutely nothing to worry about if it wasn't your or if you had nothing to do with it. No need to be paranoid. :)

I am not paranoid at all. I was just stating a simple fact.

I dont think it was karma, i dont believe in such a thing. This was obiviosly out of my hands and there for i couldnt do anything about it.

And other thing is that i dont really care about rep, i havent been so active on the marketplace or any other sections lately becouse of some personal things, and i think i get get back up on my feet again

Because they probably used a VPN/Proxy? 😅
What A Little Bitch Gaining Access To A Staff Account. Thanks For Informing Us Omni. :)
