I got an email telling me that my account name was changed to a “Jduvernay1” and the email to “joshduvernay@clearmail.online” a few hours ago. Unlike a lot of previous “account hacked” posts found in search, no lifetime subscription was purchased by the hacker–I already have that. I was able to re…

That doesn’t really explain anything. I’m certain the hacker doesn’t have access to my email account as once in a while, if my email provider sees my IP has changed, I have to re-verify my account via SMS. And putting BS addresses in that site comes back with positive results, so that site looks l…

Right, but if I had used the forums prior to the data breach, then my account would be on the forum software and the hackers would have my password salt (to bruteforce) and I would have been made to change my password. If not, I wouldn’t have been made to change my password, but the hackers wouldn’…
