Has PF been hacked ?

General advice re Vbulletin: at some point I was told the way Vbulletin was set up admins and mods had access to your password. I don't know how true that is, or if it was true at one time and isn't now, but ever since, if I register on Vbulletin board I NEVER use that password anywhere else.

We should all be doing that all the time, everywhere, but most people don't.

 

As a fellow admin using Vbulletin I can declare this one to be false and lay it to bed. There is no way for Admins or Mods to see your password. They can reset your password if you allow them, but any password you type in yourself is a secret. I've been using Vbulletin since 2004 on various sites so I don't think that's ever been true. No need for more conspiracy

 

Thank you for the clarification. There are definitely enough conspiracies floating around.

Still a good idea not to over use pwords from forum to forum to facebook etc.

 

Thanks Cal, for the info..

I4zarus,

I agree, the same password should not be used across multiple sites.

 

I started this thread , and I guess it's up to me to end it .

The PF link to FB is safe , as far as I know .

The link that hacked me was through an e-mail from Yahoo , not PF or FB .

if anyone has questions , send me a pm .

 

Rapunzel,

a Forum like PF should be hacked at least by ten world intelligence agencies, be sure.

 

Why have you spent $250 on security for your computer when it was a web based email account that was supposedly hacked? What did you actually buy that costs that much money to secure your computer? I suggest you should have just changed you password on your yahoo account to something very strong. Something along the lines of 3.L49aC2DuU96.sS or longer.

 

The only people that OWN Countries are called Capitialists and Monarchs.

One can be other then Nationalist in ones thinking ,yes the circus in Government everywhere,the Capitialist governments,is the most perfected form of nationalism ???

Anyone who doesn't openly and actively oppose their Capitialist owned 'National Government',is suspect of being a Secret Squirrel.

 

And what should happen to those Commies bender ?

Obama 's a commie ,lots of people say it so it must be right.Go me comrade Obama .NOT!

Liberal Democracy has gone senile ,hello my names Comrade Phil.

When did your family start hating the Working class ?

 

Then maybe you should stay away from things that you don't know anything about until you educate yourself, eh?
If some idiot was going camping alone in the mountains and knew as much about the wilderness as you say you know about computers, what would you call it?

 

Lol...Be paranoid.
The vast majority of posts spout the same idiotic partisan nonsense over and over, ad nauseam.
Intelligence agencies know retarded bull(*)(*)(*)(*) when they see it.
But maybe they would for comic relief.

 

...either...

how do you know that ? 3rd Man ? only the person that whacked PF would know the particulars . so you're the one that whacked PF ?

In compliance with the PF TOS , I have just reported you for making a flamebait post ...and I'm not the only one .

I've saved you for last , SJ , you've taken your first and last cheap shot at me , so I'll leave you with a song , and the next time you take me on with a BS post , I won't be near as nice , so , think it over .

After having my debit card phished for 3800 bucks* I began using a few security measures other than the obvious software.

*(the bank a home town bank gave me most of it back even though by law they did not have to)

Now most of you probably already use these, which are two of my favs;

(1).. I never never ever (well almost never) use my credit card or bank cards ie ATMs nor checks for online purchases. I use those 'disposable cards'. When I MUST use a real debit or credit card I use the regular ATM VISA, however its from a different bank where I keep most of my real money at. Usually there is I rarely less than a hundred that checking account. I keep my payroll and donations to the church and missions, which are starvation modest in another account in a separate bank. If I make a larger purchase I deposit the money in the exact amount of purchase.

(2)..This is a easy way to catch liars and sellers of your info even though they have a disclaimer saying they NEVER sell your info. Yeah right! Anyway my name is Greg in real life. I never use my real name and add a few letters to it, like Greggie. Then if I get a email that has Greggie in the address line I know whats going on...

Nice Vid brother hillbilly! I am with you on the other stuff as well. I am afraid this forum is infested with Usual suspects these days. Hopefully its just a cyclic thing and we will return to a 50/50 balance soon!

How do I know that? Maybe because that is what you posted in this very thread. Hmm

 

If Mossad is here I love it, ha ha! Out of all the spooks I like them the most. However if this hacking thing was done by the CIA or Mossad etc we wouldn't know it even happened!

My MOS was PsyOps (37F in today's army). When I was active service the web was not nearly as sophisticated as it is now but my army AIT schooling interested me in the spooky stuff. While researching the neat stuff I read about the not so secret creepies. For example a highly advanced 'spider'. A regular spider is web crawler that feeds search engines, however a military spider feeds NSA etc computer data bases. When this spider hits on special words or series of words it alerts the agencies in direct proportion to the risk.

So I am careful in what I say and what words I use which brings me back to the first part of my post. If Mossad or the NSA wanted to survel us (use Surveillance), I highly doubt we would know it. I think if PF was hacked it was a POed off moderator or staff etc that wanted revenge. Personally I am through with the spookey stuff because PF is running wonderfully fast, and I am sending another modest donation, thanks Mod guys!
