i really hope that in all tracker which i use accs will not be stolen..

If you used the same username and password on every account then they were more likely hijacked. Try to recover your password asap and hope no1 changed the email address on the account

I think that there is a very issue for all trackers now.
A lot of people are on vacation and they probably have no clue that their accounts were stolen...

I am surprised why most of the trackers don't send a confirmation email to the old account when you try to change your registered email...
This is something that all the trackers should take into consideration DV8type.

Some have already disabled the option of email change.

I completely agree w/ you. We have had a hold on email changes for a while.

Unfortunately, some new trackers start up with the express intention of stealing usernames/passwords from unsuspecting users. Its funny, when ever there is a “New Tracker” thread in the invite section (warezbroz, etc.) people are greedy and jump in without much thought to the consequences. As you see not every tracker has good intentions. You never know, the next tracker you sign up on might even be set up by MP@@ or RI@@. There have also been many spoof websites popping up aswell.....

People do lose email accounts, therefore some way to change email is needed. Examination by a staff member, IP address check script etc.

I think that all the trackers should warn their users to change their passwds in case they were also BitHDTV members and use the same passwds on all sites.

I haven't seen a friendly reminder on any tracker so far!
Not even on BitHDTV, where they should have made an announcement of the risks they have put their member in...

Not even a single apology! Just a "Passwords were reset."...
A lot of people may believe that they are secure know or nothing really happened!

Can someone pls PM me the list to check if my username appear there, before i use the same password in one of my main email i used also in hdtv-bits.

the whole BitHDTV userbase was hacked Ac3Dunk.

-Never use the same passwd on your various trackers
-Never use the same passwd on your registered email with your tracker's passwd.
-Always use a strong passwd with every possible combination like that: 225#Vv#&(*.&*#?>>?24+_})!#*_%GJL[KG.Dd^^
-Store your passwds in a passwd protected file in a USB stick and use it only when you need it. Don't store it in your hard disk!
-Change your passwds periodically.

So, change your passwds ASAP!

What if you loose the password to your passwords?

In that case it wouldn't have mattered whether he had "123456" or "225#Vv#&(*.&*#?>>?24+_})!#*_%GJL[KG.Dd^^" as password

I agree with the two first points, but then it's for the paranoid
Even a 8-10 letters pass will do, as long as it's not a common word...
