I have not yet visited the dark markets, and probably won't. How much are accounts going for? I don't quite understand how all of that works.
The last time I checked, it was $10 per account, and the listing said they were compromised accounts. They had 300k+ sales which is on the really high end (In contrast, a tab of really potent acid would have 2-3k sales which is also high)
$10 for a hacked account :O
i bet 90% of those accounts are either dead accounts like a newbie who created a throwaway account to ask a question here with a 123 password or if it is not they have already changed their password.
and just to be safer you can change it now too, and set a strong long password with enough random characters.
ahahah, I never thought that someone could take account in this forum. Because I see that bitcointalk has a very good performance and reliable. It was proven with the update and also never complaints against bitcointalk about the site down or in ddos or hacking exposed. So it is just a person's luck in guessing passwords
