Account security
« on: April 28, 2024, 02:40:53 pm »
In past couple of days few accounts were hijacked by the same spam bot/person. He also tried few more accounts without success. (recent password change probably)
I would STRONGLY suggest you all change your altbinz forum password to a unique one not used anywhere else.

Due to rule nr.4, affected accounts lost their contributor status.

I am unable to login to alt.binz even though I can login to the forum. Keep saying I need to go to forum to login first to verify.

Update:
Disregard, I used the wrong password.

Every user that hasn't logged in 2 years is forced now to recover/change password using this link: https://www.altbinz.net/forum/reminder/
Maintaining valid email address and also knowing which email address is used is YOUR responsibility!

In case you got stuck with invalid email, you got till 15. August 2024. to send me email with ALL relevant data:
- username
- date of donation
- email donation came from
- new valid email you want to be set to your account

Send email to the same email you donated to.
After that, hopefully, you will be able to set new password. Do not open up new account here just to send me message!
After mentioned date, all requests will be ignored.
