About passwords:
It´s important that you protect your passwords from these forums as well. There are people doing the hell to break the security and this includes stealing people´s password to access these forums. The passwords are encrypted in a safe place, but they can be found out in other ways which are out of our control. So, we alert: WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR STOLEN PASSWORDS. We can, however, ban those who are stealing it and that´s what we are usually doing to Lethargic Crowd (from MPP.ENTEXPLODE.COM). However, they are using proxy servers to bypass our security, SO... WE CANNOT GUARRANTEE THAT THEY WILL BE SAFE FOREVER... SO EVERYTIME YOUR PASSWORD IS STOLEN, YOU WILL BE ALERTED TO CHANGE IT IMMEDIATELLY. HOWEVER, IF IT´S PROVEN THAT YOU ARE GIVING AWAY YOUR PASSWORDS TO THEM, YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR ACCESS TO THESE FORUMS.
So, here are some steps to protect your password:
- DO NOT USE THE SAME PASSWORD THAT YOU USE IN TEAM PPM FORUMS! THEY´VE ALREADY STOLEN PASSWORDS BY USING SPECIAL METHODS (ACTUALLY, QUITE EASY) TO MAKE THEIR OWN FORUM E-MAIL THEM YOUR PASSWORD.
- Use long passwords
- If possible, alternate numbers with letters or capital letters wth non-capital letters always putting something that wouldnt make sense to not be guessable.
Protect your password first before accusing that our security is crap. We have no control from what happens outside these forums. If your password get stolen and it´s the same password you use in e-mails, MSN, etc... change it immediatelly, because we never know how far LC will try to bypass our security or even your privacy. Thanks for reading it. QUICK_EDIT
