It's been too long since you owned your website. They hack verified members with good reputations to get easy access to $$$. Think about it, if Amanda was selling you something on here and said send me money, I doubt you'd hesitate. Now if it was a guys fist post, you tell him to go back to fgbook or something. They hack members accounts to gain your trust on their reputation. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had you been impacted or involved in it, you definitely would have known. Stanley Only way to really "HACK" A username is that user has a key logger on his pc and is on other websites (usually porn websites) with the same password and or email. other than that someone has the admin/mods passwords because they have key loggers or something similar on there pcs. then the hacker goes in and changes accounts of users. we have had admins get hacked, due to modifications on templates in the forum which left security issues open in the database, but never seen them after a user. now some guys just have easy passwords to guess, we have had that happen were a user would guess someones pw and mess with them. The forsale section if alot of activity does attract a ton of people that mainly spam a forum, that and people hyperlinking website sites that sell stuff, Ive noticed more spam on this forum in the last 2 years then ever before hence the foresale section tripled in size in that time. we had a numbnut on azbasszone that constantly posted stupid crap from a fishing website that was nothing more than cheap Chinese/ Indian crap with in a month we had a ton of spam and was that way for a long time till I figured it out. once those hyperlink posts were deleted it slowed down.

desertmafia21 Report post Posted March 21, 2021 This just happened to me on longrangehunting. Someone used my account to drop the price of the Binos I was selling and made $750 off a guy. He used my long term membership to get the trust of someone to fork over funds. Luckily I talked to the user that got scammed and he contacted the administrator to lock my account! I just changed all my passwords on all forums after that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
