And cheers for the update Omni, I shall comply with your intentions 🤝

I highly doubt so, he can't be very knowledgeable about the technology of SSL to recommend it for HF.

SSL is meant for websites transmitting valuable data / personal information such as Credit card information and the likes.

HF does not fall into that category, and SSL would just slow down the website.

Thanks for the update man!
Thanks for letting us know <3
Thank you for the update!
Thanks for the update Omni, I've gone ahead and changed my email over. Will be changing my password as well even tho its just a randomly generated one. I think we should let all users have access to the 2GAUTH not just the ubers and stuff. I highly doubt someone has the database dump else it would of been leaked by now, but like you said we get a more safe HF out of this in the long run.

SneakyBoots Discord or HF convo me.
I highly suggest people make an email just for HF use only that is not attached to any other site or forum for extra security.

Another email provider option you could try is yourself. Get a VPS (you can get 1 GB ram VPS as low as $24 a year) and a domain (avg $10) and run mail in a box, create your own email server. Digitalocean, [censored], linode, etc. are capable of hosting it all cheap (under $10/mo), and providers (check lowendbox.com) can do cheap yearly ($24/yr). My email server (private) costs me $35/yr total all paid in BTC

Thanks for the instructions and updates. I hope there wasn't any real damage done, other than the compromised accounts.

Changed PW and email.
Thanks for the updates on everything going on. Together we shall conquer this and kick butt!
Be prepared to lose half of HF members.

I agree. Nothing to do with this situation but it will be nice.. I always feel watched by am admin when they see HF in logs

I realize SSL is not only used for websites.
Infact I use it on my own VPN servers.
Now lets not go off-topic, but SSL is not meant for sites like HF.
