First, our forums are safe, updated, different more secure software and we have tight security practices. 256 bit encryption site wide! Verticle Scope is out of Canada, they own motorcycle.com, many auto and a total of over 1,100 forums. The problem is when you use old forum software, dont use strong ssl for registration pages, you have to update your software very often, it's almost impossible to stay on top of protecting 1100 freaking forums. Well, they got hacked in February, all 45 million member passwords, ip addresses, pm's, everything. Worse, they didn't even figure it out until June, when a hacker group started posting all the files (including passwords) online for all the other hackers to go to work on. ouch. Go visit any motorcycle. com/verticle scope site that you may have joined the last ten years, and change to very long passwords wth numbers and symbols. Many people use the same damn password on any site they visit. So do not log in here with the passwrods u use on others motorcyle.com websites, including the fz-09 forum. They own them too. Our registration and sign in pages are 256 bit encrypted, and we don't use that old cheap forum software that they use. Any respectable forum admin that I know dumped Vbulletin years ago and we stay on top of our security updates.
