mytractorforum hack
Hi,
Mytractorforum.com has been breached as part of a massive attack that hit a company called vertical.com. Vertical apparently does quite a few auto /farm etc forums.
I know that mytractorforum has been mentioned around here from time to time.
They have invalidated current passwords. You may have gotten an email from
vertical, as I did , which is how I discovered this.
If you go to vertical.com, you can find complete lists of forums that they host -- it's divided into categories and you have to drill down to get complete lists for each cateory.
Bleeping hackers,
hj

Interesting. I didn't realize they were part of the VerticalScope group. Their new password requirements seem tailor made to reduce traffic, I know on alfabb.com they want ten digits, upper and lower cases, numbers, and symbols, and they reset it every now and then.
It wasn't my password that got hacked, it was their database. Don't make it hard for me to give you content for your site.
