Then members in general followed by a general site failure. The ended up requiring new, longer, more complex passwords now. Goofy thing. Was surprising at first as was the first time since the dinosaurs roamed the earth. Nephi OK OK, Let me spell it out since I dont think you get what I was joking about.

This is what happens when people do not keep their websites and forums up to date with the latest patches and versions. This forum is very up to date with patches installed as soon as they're released. I run several wordpress sites with systems in place to prevent hacking and the amount of attempts is almost unbelievable. The average guy would not know what is happening in cyberspace. JGF, I know little about computers. All you said above is like Greek to me. But I do understand how much work it can be keeping things up and working Plus secure! Thank you for your efforts! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your glasses must have fogged up before you got to the part that says: Speculation by LinuxTechShow pins the abundant complex passwords on malware which compromised accounts using credentials that appear to users on first blush to be unique. So if the hackers don't get you, the malware will! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
