Do we have any idea HOW they are getting the passwords/log-in info?
thanks

Thank you, Para. I’ve been thinking it would be a good idea to reset my password and this was the catalyst I needed.

Who's a thief in Classifieds, guys?

C'mon, give me the answer

Anyone selling something too good to be true...

Every1.

That's right. Everyone


E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E

It's a minefield in a war zone.

You trust no one

No. one.

You don't trust people you've known here for twenty years.

Be skeptical of everything. You don't let your guard down. Before you send funds, you make certain of who you're dealing with. Every single time.

Arrange a phone call with the seller. Stateside phone number, no broken English. If they don't want to do it, get management involved.

Man, they’re on a hacking tear.

Fucker is still trying.

No, that's Jester. I'm just confirming his location within the U.S..

The “vpn is off, confirming myself” doesn’t appear to match his normal writing style in other posts. But, I apologize, then, if that’s truly him.

Three ads popped up on the same afternoon, all at out of the ordinary super low prices. And, we know for sure Sig2340 was hacked. BBMW’s account, who hasn’t posted in over two years, is almost surely (99.99%) compromised.

If you see me selling anything, it’s a scam. Lololol

Just a suggestion on passwords. I've switched to passphrases.

Increased security: Passphrases are significantly harder for attackers to crack compared to traditional passwords.

Enhanced memorability: They are easier for humans to remember than a string of random characters, which can reduce the need to write them down or reuse them.

Para, I like that passphrase idea steve posts above. How long can a password be here? Can we use spaces between words?

Probably 255 characters, or a least 64. I don't know and I don't know about spaces, either. You can try it.

Will do. Thanks.

It worked. Short phrase with spaces, accepted as my new PW. Thanks for the idea, steve, and Para for checking.

You're welcome. This is the site you can use to start generating passphrases.

I use three of the four generated words, add a hyphen between them, and then add one character and a two-digit number after the second word.

I try to have a different passphrase for every online account (painful, I know), but I use a password manager.
