Topic: MY ACCOUNT GOT HACKED - page 2. (Read 1887 times)

Everyone got the same email. Just change your passwords (+ security question) and you'll be fine.
Also, watch out for any possible fraud/malware emails coming to your associated email addresses.

So, if I didn't received that kind of email. It's mean that my Bicointalk account is not got hacked(someone know my password) right?

I received the same email and my old password doesn't work, then I reset my password via email.

I got the same email.  BTT's ISP was hacked, and a lot of people's accounts were compromised.

Is this true?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

You are receiving this message because your email address is associated with an account on bitcointalk.org. I regret to have to inform you that some information about your account was obtained by an attacker who successfully compromised the bitcointalk.org server. The following information about your account was likely leaked:
 - Email address
 - Password hash
 - Last-used IP address and registration IP address
 - Secret question and a basic (not brute-force-resistant) hash of your  secret answer
 - Various settings

You should immediately change your forum password and delete or change your secret question. To do this, log into the forum, click "profile", and then go to "account related settings".

If you used the same password on bitcointalk.org as on other sites, then you should also immediately change your password on those other sites.
Also, if you had a secret question set, then you should assume that the attacker now knows the answer to your secret question.

Your password was salted and hashed using sha256crypt with 7500 rounds.
This will slow down anyone trying to recover your password, but it will not completely prevent it unless your password was extremely strong.

While nothing can ever be ruled out in these sorts of situations, I do not believe that the attacker was able to collect any forum personal messages.

I apologize for the inconvenience and for any trouble that this may cause.
