Re: Password hack on Amigans.net To answer your questions,
You don't have to change your password, its your problem if anything happens thereafter because you didn't change it. I think you'll find it was possibly the default xoops icon that was showing perhaps? Mikey C |

Re: Password hack on Amigans.net Hi,
Didn't know that was the default xoops icon, just edited my post to avoid conspiracy theories  Regarding the password, well... there shouldn't be any problem as long it's properly saved on your servers, don't you think? Cheers. |

Re: Password hack on Amigans.net Sorry for all the hassle.
I've used the same password for years on all my main Amiga webforums (and it was not Amiga or X1000 )Needless to say, but I have now changed all my passwords and each one is now different. TrevorD |

Re: Password hack on Amigans.net @Templario
There is no evidence that all sites were hacked, indeed, it is possible that none of the sites were hacked. The password Trevor used was the same across all 3 sites. It could have been guessed or obtained by other means. |
