*IMPORTANT TO MEMBERS* "Name your pets" thread removed. Serious security issue.

[Y2Jversion1]

Members,
The thread created by Missy_Higgins (aka Lean_Machine) was removed since it was brought to our attention that the names of the pets that people posted were being used in an attempt to 'hack' into their BB4U (and other) accounts.

Please refrain from posting such information, especially if you're using it as the security question in a "Forgot my password - request" question - or don't use your pet name as the answer to that question.

To the person who did this, you're nothing but the lowest of low scum.

Unbelievable!!!!
It's good the S.O.B. is gone....for good!

BTW, I suggest everyone change their passwords here once they get the chance, and anywhere else where they use a similar password.

Use capitals, special characters and make it a bit long and harder to break.

For the special question, try and pick one of the toughest questions to answer.

Thanks for understanding folks.

Gotta admit it was pretty ingenious though.

Bumping to remind folks to change their passwords if they haven't already.

[kr1ms0n_k1ng]

I think everyone needs a lesson in making a good password. Same goes for security questions.

The internet is serious business.

This sort of problem happened at another forum I go to. Freaking day after day! Some nice fellas with jurisdictional authority took the situation under control. We didnt have any more problems after that.
