Security Incident - Please Change Your Password

[K7MFC]

Even if that were true, and I doubt it is, what would they be able to do with your password for Radio Reference?

It's almost a certainty that the information gained via the security breach has been distributed - it's valuable. They would be able to use personal information from RR accounts to associate with other websites, and attempt to gain access. Unfortunately, many people use the same password and user name across multiple websites. This incident should not be treated lightly because "it's just RadioReference."

No one should ever use the same password! If they do it's on them. I don't even user the same login name on more than one site. I change my passwords often. You can even setup different email accounts for different sites.

2 step verification or even authentication for an option for future use would be nice.

I use that on numerous sites, banks included.

Got the email ransom note this morning. It was kinda humorous, but could easily tell it was from an amateur hack. It said they recorded me "pleasuring myself" on my web cam and will send it to all my contacts.... LOL, I don't have a webcam....

Send them a bill from your cam site, for services rendered.
