HACKED!

Avatar of RonaldJosephCote

          A friend of mine on this site was recently hacked. "Life-Lock" informed him that it originated from Chess.com. Has this happened to anyone before?  This is not a troll thread, and please don't post nonsense. I will block who don't contribute in a positive way. When he said "Life-Lock", I thought, that's a little serious. Please staff, if you want to know the specifics, I will PM you.  Thanks.

Why can't you send the message to the staff yourself.

       I didn't want to disturb them, unless I hit a nerve. Everybody mistakenly says the're hacked after a few beers, but when Life-Lock sends you a message, I thought this might be something for everyone to know about, just NOT the specifics. Last week, we had group numbers disappearing because of an upload of V3. The other day, we had the stock market, United Airlines, and others DOWN, because of programs being uploaded. Security vulnerabilities pop up every day. Let the thread run for a day or so. If nothing similar comes up, I'll ask staff to lock it.

Assuming not a troll, how could someone get hacked due to something here? I mean, I guess it is possible they got a password (but I would hope the site is at least storing those as salted hashes) and then said friend uses the exact same password and e-mail on other accounts.

Even if he did, I don't see how anyone could trace that back to originating from here anyway?

Hacking is an art and it can't be done easily and who cares if you block us, the troll is talking so please stop annoying me with your threads and all.

Sounds highly dubious and ridiculous to me, but please send PM if there are actual details. We have no other reports like this, and I'm skeptical that LifeLock could possibly even know anything like that. We do not even host credit card numbers.
