That's how it is now but that's not going to help if your email is stolen and a PW reset occurs. Which is what happened here.
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.

Good idea actually
This is unfortunate. Hope the guy who did it is caught soon.

@ 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. :)
Oh well, rep is just a number people can survive..

Maybe do a certain amount of numbers for pin verification on top of the email and pass login. Might be a little much but something i think is to be considered..

Thats a really good idea! I am going to try something like this on my own site even. Its a really smart idea.

I am not paranoid at all. I was just stating a simple fact.
Well I think someone should find a way to contact Rusty_V and have him check his computer for any RATs/keyloggers. If he is ratted, then at least he will be able to find the IP of the person ratting him, then you can use that to cross verify if that IP has ever logged onto HF and to whom it belongs to.

If he's not infected, then it must be a friend of Rusty's to be able to find out his email password and then to reset it.

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
Can't you just compare ip addresses? To see who it matches with?

Because they probably used a VPN/Proxy? 😅
