Hi everyone,

This is my new account, my other was hacked last night "Shadizzle" Please be advised.

UserID accounts can sometimes contain important information that can be used to steal other accounts, wallets, bitcoin, scam other users by hacking a trusted account and who knows what else.

I am concerned about this problem and I am going to do something about it. I will contact theymos, John K. and a few others so we can collaborate on a backup solution.

The SolarWind Mining Company will provide a Bitcointalk.org UserID Backup Service free of charge.

Matt, do you want to work on promoting this service and help create the system so that it is secure?

Perhaps bitcointalk should send a confirmation to the user's email address before allowing a change of password and/or email address and require a confirmation before allowing posting if user connects from an unknown IP address.

Yes that would be nice to implement.
But I think that it could also be a false feeling of safety because 80% of hacks came from compromised links/computers and therefore, the hacker have access to the email password as well....

Hi everyone,

This is my new account, my other was hacked last night "Shadizzle" Please be advised.

Matt is part of the executive branch and lead Tech at The SolarWind Mining Company. I can vouch for the fact that Matt contacted me via the company email and said he was having an issue logging into his 'shadizzle' account. I checked the last active date for the account, asked Matt if that was the last time he was online, he stated that it was not him. Since Matt is a crucial individual in the company, I considered this to be a potential breech in SolarWind's security. As a result I have started a company forum that will help to safeguard SolarWind and it's investors from this type of problem. If you are a Shareholder in The SolarWind Mining Company you can find out more information in the companies Official Thread.
