Change your passwords!

[JohnB]

I received a email from someone this evening showing me he had my password. The one he had is the one I use here and a couple of other sites, He demanded bitcoin payment or he would send embarrassing content to all my contacts although I do not go to "those" sites and use passwords, etc. I'm pretty sure it's a scam but he DID have my password for LSM. So, just in case guys, I'd recommend changing your passwords. For the record, I DO NOT view or download porn nor do I have a webcam that I parade around in front of nekkid!!! LOL (Anybody that does that is asking for it!) Anyway, I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up on this "just in case".

Jeroen,

Is our security up to date?

Here is a site that details all that:

Thanks for the heads up John, changing my password now!

What if you can't remember what your current password is (required to change passwords)?

Spoofs. Doing the rounds. I get two or three every week.

Changing your email passwords and anything else significant is always a good idea, not just as a precaution, but also if you've never changed them in a while. Also don't use the same pass for any two things.

LSM security is the best we can get it.
