Just received a heads up from the webmaster community that this is now a widespread issue on many boards and has been occurring over the past 7 days on forums all over the world due to a data leak.
According to other site owners, the spammers are using compromised personal e-mails and/or passwords to gain access to these inactive accounts from the past. Fortunately for us, it's nothing to do with a security issue on our site. But for the accounts that have been hijacked, your details might have been shared in a data leak (not from our site).
To check if your e-mail or password has been leaked from some shady website, we advise you check this site for yourself on the Have i been pwned? database.
If your e-mail shows up on this database:
- Change all your personal e-mail passwords
- Don't forget to not use those compromised passwords on your Forex-station account
For now, we've stopped user Registrations, and if we notice spam from your account, we'll delete the spam (not ban you) and send you an e-mail with reactivation details.
Confirming, the site has not been hacked.
Thanks for the reports!
Good, thank you for explaining it and reactivating your account.p1ps_surfer wrote: Sat Jun 04, 2022 1:15 pm im back gentleman! thx jim, please read my PM. funny enough my 2nd acc being banned the day i post my report for releasing this account, my gmail also use 2 step acc verification.
the mistake that i make is i dont change the acc pass prior the activation. the same pass during the acc creation, perhaps that snippets being sniffed through the net.
