IF YOU HAVEN'T UPDATED YOUR PASSWORD RECENTLY OR HAVE A WEAK PASSWORD PLEASE CHANGE IT!

[Brutal_HO]

There's been an uptick in a new spambot wreaking havoc across all (most) forums.

Until additional measures can be put in place, it's recommended that members that haven't updated the password in some time do so. 2FA is also available here and recommended.

It appears there's some old monster data breach database (source still unknown but potentially lastpass) being used to spam the sites by using valid userid/password combinations (doesn't appear to be a brute force on weak passwords).

Recently they have also been updating users signature with their nefarious URL.


2FA can be found under Password and Security on your account profile:

Thanks for this, cool to see they support 2FA, and that seems to work on the web but I think broke the Tapatalk app access. I’ll screw with it shortly and see.

The Lastpass breach I don’t think compromised passwords directly, if so then it wouldn’t be that brewach. Good to change password at least.

I turned off 2FA and the app works again. So if you use the app you probably just want to change your password to something unique and strong.
