Not going to lie Ant, I think you used a few too many !!!!!!
Like, I think if the message needs to be conveyed to the community, the ALL CAPS are sufficient. The !s are just sorta screaming "panICK" and not really exuding any professionalism.

How are they getting into peoples accounts is my question.
This didn't start with people clicking on a prior telegram link. It just started out of nowhere.

It may kinda need to do so if my prior message is proven for the worst.

How and why did they hack our forum?

Why is just because they want personal data.
How is even more difficult to answer. Xenoforum/Host vulnerability? Should stress that this is entirely spit balling.

There was one user who slipped and I though the Spam Clean button was chosen but it was apparently approved, but it appears quite a few users clicked that link and ended up hacked by that troll in question. But anyway, we'll just keep watch for any phishing posts like that and ban away and nuke posts. The URL in question was added to out censorship list.

Yes, and there is also a chance that they are brute force hacking accounts via artificial intelligence running combinations and cracking weak passwords without two-factor authorisations.

This doesn't really matter to hackers, data is data. Follow the instructions Ant suggested and make sure your account is secured.

I should probably mention this, but these spam posts are consistently familiar to various spams I tend to see on a lot of YouTube channels. That have "Inbox/Text me on Telegram/Twitter" before the username of the YouTube channel(s) in question. It might be the same organization.
Thankfully, YouTube seems to be set up to automatically delete comments containing URLs these days, but it is still all too suspicious.

I've seen lots of bots commenting about Bitcoin on almost all channels, specially in the ones which are news based, such as Euronews, CNN, etc

today I thought I had been banned, because a message appeared out of nowhere and when I translated it was just warning of hackers, I hope this passes soon.

giving out misinformation is kinda bad... As we don't even know (I think) how the accounts got hacked
all you can do is to not click the hacked accounts links and if you're worried that you might be hacked then try secure your own account in any way you can which ant has listed above or speak out that you might have been hacked or not
just try to be patient/calm and if you see anything suspicious then just report it

@Mugen_no_Setsuna and John (forgot his old username) had both not even been online to click on any suspicious links. The links are likely not the source of all those hacks tho they should be avoided regardless.

wow monkey proved his monkey intelligence yet again
that was only my human intelligence being inspired or something related to that by the monkey in me, the monkey's intelligence thats apart of me is too superior to be understood by human

Hi, my main account is Mugen_no_Setsuna. Yesterday i was watching Date A Live for whole day so i didn't online at all, nor click any suspicious link. Apparently my account was hacked but the hacker somehow didn't change my password. Much appreciated if someone can unban my account so that i can change my password.

I will lift the ban, and then if I know your account is safe, I will ban the new account to be consistent with the single account.
Thanks, please tell me if you have lifted the ban.
- 31,462
- 34,324
I have done so, would be appreciated if you post using your original account to confirm it is secured now.

I've changed my password + enable two-factors authentication.

Thank you, I have banned the new account due to no longer being needed. And I am glad you're safe.
