Oh that is a big blow but I don't have any account there and also I have activated 2fa in almost all of my important accounts already so hope I will be in safe side Grin

Data breach includes user data, including encrypted passwords, email addresses and phone numbers.

If they have strongly encrypted users password when storing in their server than I think hacker might not gain access to user passwords. Am I wrong?

The email and phone number is a big problem. If you use an exchange such as Coinbase or Gemini or CEX, if someone knows your phone number they can get your 2FA if you are using Authy.

With your email AND phone number they can easily reset any password and even reset your Authy.

This is a huge problem

By reset you mean getting all the 2fa codes? that'll happen only when one enables multi-device feature, one can always disable that feature and stay safe from sms/call based authy recovery.

Yes. Go to Authy website and read the FAQs. Its basically for people who have no recovery codes and a way for them to get their account back.

They can easily get it back with EMAIL + PHONE NUMBER. Even if they had no multi device checked off.

This is the reason why you guys need to start using password managers, every time something like this happens I read about people going to change their passwords, you know what, one day you won't stumble upon the news of something being hacked, you need to be prepared and have different passwords for each website you're using.

Since Betcoin.Ag got hacked and even my bitcointalk account go compromised, I will never again use the same password, it's so simple how someone can penetrate most of your assets if your security is based on the same bloody password.

Don't risk it, use a password manager!

yeah it's never be a good idea to have same password for all of your digital assets even you have set the strongest security system like two factor authentication. hacking could happened anytime. so you should reset your password periodically for better security especially when it comes to valueable stuff. prevention always better than waiting for something bad really happened.

It's not good idea to have same password everywhere if you are hacked some where then hackers easily access to your other assets too so kindly careful.

I'm actually glad that it happened to me, because I wouldn't learn otherwise until it's too late.

And others should learn too.

Don't store your passwords on your PC and copy-paste them, websites get hacked and data gets leaked, PCs get hacked too and data gets leaked.

A password manager is a must in todays world if you hold anything valuable on your laptop/PC, it gets a different 50-60 or any number of charachters passwords you want for all your accounts and you just need to memorize one good,strong password you never used before for your manager
+ 2FA and you're the safest gambler there exists Wink

Like we say in Italy "Uomo avissato , mezzo salvato" , it means if a man is warned he is already half safe so it is great to share the information here. However I don't believe all the sites are hacked, I didn't received any email from coinbet24 which has become my new favorite sport book to change my password so far. Still I have a very unique password and although without 2fa there I still feel safe.

That's great to hear something from you i would like to say that thank you so much for that it's interesting to hear different words and let them remember in future good luck men for more kind of help.

Apparently Bitmain got hacked a day or so ago and I am getting email alerts from different services and gambling sites that there was attempted unauthorized accesses.

Just like the Bitcointalk hack a few years back, these hackers are trying to gain access to any and all Bitcoin related services like exchanges, wallets and most likely also gambling sites.

So if you used the same password and had no 2FA enabled you are at risk...

Holy damn, I just read it here! This should have been all over the news on every bitcoin news outlet like coinbase, cointelegraph, etc. But why was it not there though?
Anyway, just for precaution, I am changing my passwords too on all my accounts. Better safe than sorry.

Also they can try to convince companies that they're the rightful owners of any account, combined with other information. It is for sure dangerous for that information to be in the wrong hands.

It is never a good choice to use the same passwords for all of the sites that you are registered with, and this was one of the main reason, once a site got hacked and if the customer information are being stolen by the hackers in the process, the hackers might have a chance to access the other sites which you are registered with if you use the same password.

It is also better to change your password once in a few months on the site that you frequently visit, and also enabling 2fa is a good way to safeguard your account and balances.

This is why i dont use repetitive passwords on any accounts that ive made because if you use the same passwords or log-in information on various sites then chances of getting hacked would really be high compared on having different information anytime.This is why im not really bit worried on this kind of hacking incidents because im confident that i wont be easily be hacked by someone.

I am not surprised. That fits the image on rage for bigger blocksize. Everything is just about profit, nothing's about security.

Save yourself a lot of problems and NEVER re-use passwords for different sites. Make these passwords unique to every site and if you cannot remember them, just write them down and store it in a safe place. If one site is compromised, your accounts on other sites will not be influenced.

We have been saying this for years now and people are still doing this. Lazy people will have to learn from their mistakes.

I never re-use passwords and I also change the passwords for my accounts on different sites regularly, because this is standard practice. < or it should be >

Doesent seem so bad. You are safe if you're using 2 fa.

Indeed you are safe with 2fa attached but it is annoying to get a warning email about failure attempt to login to your account.
Better to change your password to another one , unless if you feel okay to receive the same warning over and over again.
I got a lot of warning since bitcointalk get compromised and now it is happened again , i suggest to change the password really it is annoying.

i always used a basic rule of thumb.. for each and every website i use a different and very complex password.but this does explain why i have had about 10 different red flag sign in attempts is several different websites! all failed but the attempt was there !
so lock down your access codes and make sure your passwords are changed and safe!

Wha would have thought that even the giants of crypto business like Bitmain are vulnerable to hacking.
I guess they are really stingy and don't want to pay anyone to test their protection, and here we see the effect.
Just remember, if you bitmain password is unique, you don't need to change passwords for your other services, emails, accounts etc.

They can crack the encrypted password by brute force.
