i always choose 2 fa, what do you think guys this is good choise right?

Oh yeah any small steps you can take to secure your account is always a bonus. Unique password with words, numbers and characters can still be very vulnerable. I would always recommend to use two factor authentication when available.

How strong your pass is not so important if you enable 2fa security feature in your account because it will protect from the hackers to login into your account. The main reason for these things to happen is people use the same combination of email and pass to many sites to remember easily. Need to learn from these mistakes.

True, I have known someone from way back 2015, one of the site he is registered with was hacked and alas all the password of his account in different sites were the same, and he does not have 2fa enabled in an exchange site, no matter how strong the password is if he database was hacked, loging in with your account is just a walkl in the park unless we have this second layer protection such as IP detection on an email account and 2fa. These two is a must for better security.

200 accounts is serious problem especially if those accounts was an active players which is regularly gamble at bitdice and i was wondering while 2fa available on bitdice but why they not looks too concern and use this feature to secure their accounts

it can't be a casino,usually they do not store passwords in a plain form,just the hashes
also "bitsler hack" was not proven,since there was no evidence to confirm it,just the "hacker's" claim
never ever reuse your passwords
invest in a simple password manager or even get one for free (like lastpass,for example)
and don't register at dubious mining,free bitcoin doublers etc. sites

I think that Google Authenticator of 2FA is more effective and safe.
Phone, quite another device. And it is unlikely to be hacked with a computer.
On many websites this works!

Cheers for heads up, another reason to use 2FA and not re-use passwords.

This is a warning to most people who hold their funds in their casino accounts to withdraw them as soon as they can so not to have themselves fall victim to these type of hacker attacks on the bitcoin casinos where they go to.

It can happen to any casino site and not just this one mentioned.

Nothing wrong in holding your money on a trusted gambling sites for some time if you plan to gamble again. But before you load your money to any online site you should enable 2fa function which will protect from these kinds of hacks. Also, don't keep the same password for your casino account and email id.

My password is too strong to be destroyed. password1337 is too powerful for the hackers out there!
That's a problem of the common user, they mostly use the same password for everything. at least add the 2FA, I know it's a little bothering, but it's still something that saves your cash.

I don't think it was a casino or bitcointalk forum. I think this is the Bitmain breach that happened a few months ago.

They barely released any details of the hack but if you used the same username or email, you would get many failed logging attempts to many bitcoin exchanges and services.

Hello,

Our system alerted us that someone tried to sign in to around ~200 accounts with a VALID password! Most accounts are safe as we require to confirm new device with email. However, it means that some casino was hacked and those data were used to sign in to our system.

Currently, we block those accounts proactively. Unfortunately, one user was affected as it seems that password was the same for email as well and the hacker was able to withdraw funds.

We recommend changing the passwords ASAP and turn on 2FA.

Regards,
BitDice Team.

Thanks for the heads up! i never use same password on sites and i always have 2fa enabled, i feel safe. Cheesy

Yes, absolutely. although 2fa based on phone call/sms is insecure, it's better to use google authenticator.

This is why we should have strong password with complicated combination and obviously setting 2fa will be the best thing to do. Using the same password and email to register is some sites is also not recommended. Indeed it is easy to remember if we use same email and password, that's the only reason why people do it but they forget about safety.

What makes you believe that a casino was hacked? The breach could have occurred on any other site as well, could it not?

Unfortunately many people tend to reuse just a few familiar passwords across all of their accounts. This is the reason bustadice forces users to use a randomly generated password rather than allowing them to choose one themselves.

Something similar happened few months ago https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/important-your-password-may-have-been-stolen-1902543, passwords were stolen from bitsler.

Don't forget BetCoin.Ag
Got breached myself too, never used the same password on multiple websites again.

@BitDice
Thanks for the heads up

People need to be aware how easily websites get hacked.

Use password managers!

Thanks for the warning. This is a serious breach indeed and good thing that Bitdice system can immediately alerted with this kind of attempt. This news should get out quickly to other members around to make appropriate actions. And 2FA may add another layer of security for us that's why it is important to really enabled it.

2FA ftw! Always turn on 2FA security on accounts where money is involved.
