Gun Forum Hacked

#1

Post by jedwil »

Another forum I visit has been hacked. Posts have been changed and redirected. I even got a personal email that showed to have been sent
by the admin of the forum. It was about occupying DC and London and redistribution of wealth from "anonymous"

Just a FYI to be vigilant.

How do you explain a dog named Sauer without first telling the story of a Puppy named Sig?

According to Trustwave, about 5% of passwords tested are variations of the word "password' and "Password1" was the most common.
