Password resets
06/23/16 at 22:14:11

Ok, so I log onto my email today and see that 3 of my motorcycle forums have automatically reset my passwords.
I am wondering if the program that they use have been hacked...
I tried manually logging into the sites, but the passwords seem to have been reset and even the ones that are in the email won't work.

Anyone else have this problem?
Not with this site... but other sites.
I find it extremely weird that all 3 sites use similar software and all 3 have issued a new password.

On my eBay account I cannot sign in with my Mac but I can with my phone. I've been dealing with this for a while now.

Re: Password resets Reply #2 - 06/23/16 at 23:19:57 My email has a notification that my password is changed. But, it Doesn't say What motorcycle forum. The user name isn't quite right.. so, I'll try the other forum.. but I won't be clicking the link I got. Auto sign in got me back after I closed it out. Both forums. I'm ditching the email..

All 3 sites run similar software just different versions. All good to go now....

You personally haven't been hacked.

If you have an ID on any of the Vertical Scope boards, you may want to change your password them on something you don't use anyplace else.

This http://www.verticalscope.com/about-us/notice-of-data-breach.html# is the official word about what happened from that company.

The Yamaha Raptor, when I was doing that top end, and Maybe the one for a friend's four wheelers , but I don't know what to do if I could find what I joined.

They lease out spots for motorcycle groups and have preset software so it makes it easy to create your page. I also had to reset my Walmart password today, went from 8 to 12 characters. With all the different type letters and characters.
