My account on Forum hacked ?
« on: April 29, 2025, 01:08:52 pm »
I have just received 3 mails telling me that I requested a "forgot password" function. But this is NOT the case. Strange isn't it... And my account still works obviously...

phishing as it is. Dont worry, I`m receiving similar propositions from banks, tax offices +/- 5 per week on old mail accounts.

Probably the guy who hacked your account months ago was trying to use it again, but you restored the email address so he does not receive the emails.

I hope so!  :-\
My post was essentially to ask if somebody else had such a problem!

That definitely sounds suspicious. Someone might be trying to gain access to your account by triggering the password reset. If you haven't already, I recommend changing your password to something stronger and enabling any additional security features available. Also, keep an eye on any unusual login activity. Good thing your account still works!

And as if on purpose, I received another 12 password reset emails this morning... Maybe you're the hacker, zukote1991.
