    Listen some of these hacks are just poor password management

    The Hackers just change the email and password, we can easily fix this if you don’t fuck it up, and by fucking it up, I mean creating new accounts especially if you are upgraded. So if you get Hacked, Stop 🛑 think about it first.

    one contact us, or have a friend send the message.

    Once they changed the account they want to scam us so they are not blitzing the site with posts. We can fix it easily by resetting the passwords and changing the Email. Then if you turn on two step you should be good.

    We delete the posts and you move on but the membership has to help and has to be smart.

    i cannot fix your account if you have two. I cannot use one email for two accounts, so don’t make two!

    I will see about putting an easier to reach admin email so you can use it, as the banning often blocks access to the site. So I will work to remedy that.
     
    One, have two email accounts. One for online orders, spam, and marketing crap, and the other for your personal communications and the hide.

    Second, make a good password you won't forget but is long and hard to hack and different from your others.

    Example: GoBePoorSomewhereElse

    Now, don't give the teacher who makes porn who you are dating your SH login because she tells you if you love her you'll do it.

    Boom. Problem solved. I have now singlehandedly secured the Hide.

    My account was hacked tonight, and is probably the reason for lowlights post. Sorry I didn't really know what to do. I saw my account was being used to try and scam people, so I created another account as it was the only quick thing I could think of. I was running around trying to message people and post warnings in the scam threads. Did the best I could.

    I also messaged admin, and they were able to reset my email and password, and my account is back now. I just finished setting up 2-factor authentication, so hopefully this won't happen again. I definitely encourage everyone to do the same.
