PM W1zz or maybe a supermod, Morg. Not sure who can all do that, but regular mods cannot.

PW reset, thank you for the heads up on this.
Now to ask a few questions...

1) Wizz, I know what Hashed and Salted means, but maybe you could enlighten us a bit more?
What methods were used? A properly salted and hashed password table will be pretty much useless to hackers correct?

2) You mention "upgrading" to banking grade security. What grade was the security that got hacked then? Grade school basic programming?

3) Why is it that sites always wait till they are hacked then say ZOMG we better upgrade. Would it be best to wait till after I jump from an airplane to make sure I have a proper parachute?

Not trying to flame mind you, but this is quite a pisser...

Password reset, i'm kind of glad i only use a very weak, memorable, generic password for non-sensitive web sites. I try to use stronger individual passwords to any sites that can cause me damage if hacked, just in case any of the non-essential ones do.

Ahhhh, that's why I couldn't log in...

Thanks for the heads up. Going to change it to a different password now instead of back to my old one

Still trying to work out why anyone would want to hack TPU (apart from access to user emails/passwords, personal details etc) What has TPU ever done

Maybe have email addresses but not passwords; as long as you used a different password for TPU than your email account. I didn't use this password for anything else incredibly important.

I find Keepass works great, You just need to remember 1 strong password and backup the database file in a couple of places.

someone hacked a place i modded at and plastered spam all over ,

so i posted a message back where they said they were from and told them that we were going to sue them for malicious damage ,

if you use msn ,sometimes it can see techPowerUp.com as spam ,(just look in your junk folder)

assuming you have a message from w1zz ,put a tick in the check-box next to the techPowerUp message ,and press the Not junk link above that mail

and that should stop any future messages from here being seen as spam
