Beyond.ca user account security compromised?
I have passwords setup for many different accounts but I often include parts of the password so they are unique to each site but still easy to remember.
I got one of the scam emails in my spam folder a while back Eg: (I removed the password and email)
Which has an old email I don't use anymore, and it had a password, that had only ever been used on beyond.ca forums.
So, someone has access to the user information on the forum or has acquired it somehow. And passwords are being saved in plain text somewhere? I didn't care as I have not been on here in years, but figured others might want to be aware. Esp if you use the same password in more than one area.
I did a search but could not find any existing topics on this. And there is nowhere else that would have used the password they specified, as it was unique for this site.
I greet you!
I have bad news for you.
06/28/2018 - on this day I hacked your operating system and got full access to your account ******@**********.ca
On that day your account (******@**********.ca) password was: *********
It is useless to change the password, my malware intercepts it every time.
How it was:
In the software of the router to which you were connected that day, there was a vulnerability.
I first hacked this router and placed my malicious code on it.
When you entered in the Internet, my trojan was installed on the operating system of your device.
Etc...
I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
