Hey all - Didn't know exactly where to post this, it's regarding another online scuba forum besides ScubaBoard, but for rather obvious reasons it can't be discussed there. I totally understand if the mods want to move or delete this post, but I'm bringing it up because I know many SB'ers also have accounts on this other forum, and might be concerned that our login credentials might be compromised - and it certainly woudn't be unheard-of for someone to use the same or similar credentials on different dive forums.
Anyway, all that being said, the problem in a nutshell is that the "We Talk Diving" site seems to have been hacked. I got an email notice that someone had tried unsuccessfully to logon to that site using my credentials, even though I haven't logged onto them in eons. Checking it out, I noticed right away that their main page has obviously been hacked. The forums are still there, but there are no recent posts at all and I'm worried it's just a honeypot to try and lure users to logon so the evildoers can grab your credentials.
Anyway, this is of particular concern to any ScubaBoarders who might share credentials with other scuba sites. Be careful with this one, and definitely use different credentials on different sites!
