Few things are worse than and yet more humorous than, hax0r paranoia.

So I'm jus wondering - I just got the email ( screenshot below) . Did this happen or not? I was sort of waiting to see if something would be posted in my admincp or something...

My gut was that this is a phishing email but I don't know....

When you go to Vbulletin.com forum then you will have a notice saying they are forcing people to change their passwords. So I would say the email is somewhat legit.

Better off to be safe that sorry, But I would not follow the links in the email just to be safe, navigate to the site like you normally would.

WEBDosser 11-16-2013 06:01 PM

lol so they did get hacked.. haha

Amaury 11-16-2013 06:29 PM

I was asked to change my password when getting on just now because it's been 100 days and it therefore expired.

Must have been a recent change for security reasons, which I have no problems with, because I only update my passwords about every six months (twice a year), and I didn't get that message before.

Digital Jedi 11-16-2013 06:45 PM

So wait, they went ahead and sent out emails to change your password just to sate hacking paranoia?

How do I do that?
