Sure, I have lifted it, post here using the new account to confirm it is secure. And make sure to change your password to something more secure.

I have updated the first post of this thread and its associated public warning popup message to reflect the new available information, and apologise if I was too alarmist in the beginning before I knew for certain what was going on. I wanted to do everything I can to prevent further accounts in this forum from being hacked.

Also, if somebody knows @Heavens_Feel , @EmperorRorepme , or any other members whose accounts were hacked, please ask them to contact DarkDragonMedeus or myself in order to be unbanned, and then quickly change the passwords for their accounts and activate two-factor authentication for them.

My password uses words numbers and symbols. Should that be enough?

There is always a greater risk without a long password. Perhaps you could simply make your original password sufficiently longer instead by adding some letters and numbers at the end for example?
It depends on how long it is.

Thank you. You only need to change your password if it is weak.

Also, I'm curious, does this forum have some sort of limit when it comes to login fails?

Here is his reply:
"Usually if you keep failing to provide correct login, it will consider a non authorized login going on, and block you for some time.
Ask him to try again some other time, and he can always reset password, and if that also fail, he can ask us and we can set new password."

According to this I already had a password that would take years to brute force, however since the current situation is happening and have a strong password is always something good, I changed it to be as strong possible.Thank you. You only need to change your password if it is weak.

Also in light of this sort of dangers shouldn't be made a requirement to all staff member that they have an at least 18 combination password?

Please unban me too - oh looks like I have been banned for vandalism while I do absolutely nothing violating any Fandom rules IIRC so likely someone brute hacked into my account and... Gosh.
Yeah I am changing my Fandom password.
(Gosh Fandom is putting a ban on me for "spamming" (which I do not) from 10:25, 28 November 2022 to 10:25, 28 February 2023, meaning I cannot even create or comment on calc blogs, meaning I cannot even work within my function when I am slightly more idle from work.)

I cannot force them to do so, or automatically quality control them in some manner, but it would be extremely appreciated if they all take safeguard measures if necessary.
Again, they can just make their existing passwords longer if they wish to keep things simpler.

It likely is, but strong passwords and two-factor authentication are much preferable.
Again, see here for more comprehensive information:

I thought those people were just a bunch of bots (they've been lurking around a lot of social media websites as of late) but it turns out they're just hackers with no life.
Be careful out here y'all, and don't pull a @LIFE_OF_KING. I know y'all are better than that.
