2+2 forums hacked - passwords are out!

Players who are registered at 2+2 and use their password at other sites are advised to change passwords as soon as possible!

 

Last weekend hackers attacked the biggest international online forum 2+2. Chuck Weinstock, one of the administators has reported that during the attack, hackers claimed all the passwords of users and selling them online. Therefore players who use their passwords on other important sites as well are in the biggest trouble.

2+2 is now making it mandatory to change the password during the next login. If you use the stolen password on other sites, make sure to change them as well!

Max Silver advises the following changes:

1: Change your 2+2 password
2: Change all passwords, that are same, or almost the same as your stolen 2+2 password
3: Use different passwords on each site. One way to manage this is a password manager like LastPass.
4: Use two-step verification with bank accounts and e-mails.
