Title: Forum account compromised?
Post by: leagueoftransylvanianhook on December 14, 2011, 01:33 am
My account password is changed.
I was c0w4bung4t007.
I tried to log in today with my password (26 character hashed password with capital letters, numbers, lowercase letters, and special characters) and found I could not.
As far as I know a password like this should take a LONG time to crack...
Any comments on this?

Seems unlikely that someone would phish a forum password, except maybe in the hope that the same username/password combo work on the main site, but I'm assuming you're smarter than that. Possibilities on the top of my list would be database problems or a key logger on a machine you used to log into the forums. That's assuming you don't use the same password elsewhere, which would be the likely cause otherwise. A final possibility is that you  aren't c0w4bung4t007 at all and just want to make people think you are for some reason, but if that was your plan you'd have to know c0w4bung4t007 would not be able to refute your claim. Or maybe it's something I haven't thought of.

Could be that phantom clowns ate the password, it happens sometimes.

Gotta hate those phantom clowns!

It's was a password unique to this forum.
