Hackers are the worst.

[kagato82]

Hey everyone! The REAL kagato82 here. As many of you are aware, there has been a rash of account hacks (mine included), but I want to assure you, I am the authentic kagato82. My account has been reset and I've done my best to insure that my password is as secure as possible.

I apologize to anyone who had any kind of dealings with whoever hijacked my account.

I would also like to thank Spark and and any others here that helped straighten this mess out.
The support at Bladeforums and from the knife community in general is second to none.

Sincerely
Will B

Welcome back!
Somebody once stole my identity...
I got a sympathy card, and a hundred dollar bill from them!

Welcome back!

Thanks! It sucks feeling helpless like that. Knowing that someone is masquerading as you and possibly ruining your reputation and/or scamming folks.

That reminds me...

Password manager, complex passwords, and second-factor authentication are basically essential for online life these days.

Stay safe all!

Sigh . . . is it really necessary to use 2FAS on "special interest" forums now? What a PITA!

That's just what a hacker would say.

Should we ask him for his Mother's maiden name?

You could. But unless you know her, how would you know what I'm telling you is the truth?

 

[Bob Denman]

You're right: Hackers ARE the worst!

Because of the exchange forums here where money changes hands, hackers don't necessarily view BF as merely a "special interest" forum.
