said my account was hacked as a cover up.
I'm very sure that isn't true. You may have been hacked but it wasn't by Marcelo. He has been very honest and goes out of his way to make things right.
It is true the security at scrypt.cc takes a bit of work. There are a lot of things you can do to protect yourself:
* Always use https:// (not http)
* Only go there by typing the URL (eg. https://scrypt.cc) It isn't long.
* Use a PIN
* Use two email accounts and lock them in the settings
* Make sure your email accounts are secure.
* Use a strong password and it should be different than any other site's password.
* Don't give any of your account information out to anyone.
