ATTENTION ALL:

My account on the Hide was hacked a couple of months ago and I had no idea because I was overseas and not checking in on it. I finally have regained control of my account with the help of Lowlight and his IT team. Many thanks to toygunner as well for bringing the whole issue to my attention.

To prevent this from happening to you, I highly recommend that you use very strong/complex passwords and change them out frequently. Mine was fairly strong but evidently not robust enough to withstand a blitz attack that allowed the hacker access to my account so he could create false sale listings and take advantage of the trust of others during his fraudulent transactions because of my 100% feedback rating.

Many apologies for all this. I will be listing some new items in the near future and will verify my identity with any and all members who are interested in doing business with me so that they can do so with confidence.

In the meantime, feel free to contact me via PM with any questions and/or reach out to Lowliight to confirm my account of what occurred if needed.

All the Best - S/F
