Lessons I'm back; experience of a hacked account

[drrich2]

Would you like me to add a Moderator Alert to the posts in your name that are hacked/hijacked?

Yes, please!

I don't know about the rest of you; I keep a private file with a long list going back many years of sites I've got accounts with, and I've been digging through changing the 'bad' password (and using computer-generated strong passwords for some). As time goes on, I don't even remember all the places I've had accounts with.

Aside from the "too good to be true" price, this was the proof for me:



I have never known @drrich2 to be rude in any way. Would you like me to add a Moderator Alert to the posts in your name that are hacked/hijacked? I think there is some value in leaving them there for other members to read.

Hahahahah, I just read the thread, the total opposite of @drrich2. Perhaps that is the real @drrich2 and the one we are used to is the imposter????

Then use Keepass.

All my gadgets are Apple. I use the built in password manager. It syncs via iCloud and I have passwords available on all my devices.

A few of you, including the Chairman, Scubadada, Cardzard and WarrenZ have met me in person. Some have met my wife Jami and our daughter Kadence. That's a gray tree frog on her hand; they breed on a broken down hot tub repurposed as a 'pond' for her gold fish on our back deck.View attachment 656775 View attachment 656777 View attachment 656778

Hi Richard, nice to see you again. It's been a while since Breeze 'n Bites at Den Laman

The picture in your post doesn't match your SB profile picture.

Take a picture and show us the peace sign. This will confirm.

Yeah it's quite disheartening when things get done to you


How to become a Supporting Member or Sponsor (Go Red)


I am extremely enthusiastic about diving, all my life, and a passionate SB member participator in a couple of guises for over ten years

When the chairmain put out the call for money via going red to fix his leaking roof I jumped at the chance to give back for my ten year SB participation, 100US, 140AUD

Becoming a sponsor came with goodies

What Do Supporting Members Get?

In addition to all this, Sponsors get:

• An additional 8 stickers (10 total).
  
  
• An even bigger PM box.
  
  
• A mug.
  
  
• A pin.

I have NOT received any of the above physical items, a production problem apparently



My last enquiry with the chairmain, of which there have only been three was October 2020

My last reply from the chairmain was June 2020


I have chosen not to continue with my donations, the past two instalments of 100 dollars each



So in the words of Sergeant Phil Esterhaus

By people you supposedly know

Not sure I understand but why you discontinued your donations?

@drrich2

Thanks for the reminder to go through my saved passwords and update a ton of them. I'd gotten an email from Google last week that said a number of passwords were exposed in a data leak (passwords I've saved in Chrome, which I no longer use. I use Safari now), but I didn't know if it was a valid or phishing email so I deleted it. Turns out it was valid - Saw the same alert when I went to my Google account to change my password. I'm embarrassed at how long I'd gone without updating some passwords. I usually use two factor authentication and was shocked to see I didn't have it enabled on my PayPal account. It is now!

And how is this even tangently related to @drrich2 getting his account hacked?
