PSA - Keep an Eye on Your Account's Email Address

[Monkey Man]

According to admin, several members have noticed "unfamiliar" addresses in the last 2 days.

Keep an eye on yours in your account settings and please report anything suspicious to us.

Probably no need to panic; just playing it safe here.

Would double post this on the main if it's a growing issue.

 

[Monkey Man]

Not a growing issue.

I considered that but there's always blowback when stickies are added. Same goes for the Classifieds; one could argue it would be useful there too, so in 3 places? Yeah... na.

Thanks for the feedback Sister Lisa.

The word will get out anyway.

I agree. Not too many people look beyond the main forum.

Thanks for the notification MM. Consider just making a post and we bump it a few times, doesn't have to be a sticky

For anyone that doesn't wanna go menu diving, this link should take you to your profile's account deetz - https://www.rig-talk.com/forum/account/account-details

Great place for a rick roll link, but I promise it's not.

I dont really understand. Has someone been monkeying around with the settings?

Yeah, I received an email with a verification code out of no where. It definitely wasn’t me so I came here and got a new code and logged back in.

 

[Monkey Man]

Sounds like your submitted email address in your account hadn't changed 'though right?

If so, all-good I reckon.

Correct, I haven’t changed it since I started here many moons ago lol

 

[Monkey Man]

No need to worry then.

I can't explain why you received the verification code, but the heads-up of the thread is that a handful of peeps apparently noticed an email-address change in their accounts.

I couldn’t post in classifieds a few minutes ago. It showed like i needed to do the 2fa again. I changed my password and signed back in and i can post in classifieds again but it didnt send me a 2fa code. Just signed me in like old times.

On your same email? Correct?

Yes. Same email.

 

[japetus]

Yes. Same email.

It will let me post now. Was just some glitch i guess. But i can respond or post again now. It still isnt sending me an email 2fa code to sign in after i sign out. Yet i can sign in and post in classifieds. My email address is the same when i go to my account settings.

It shouldn't require you to submit a code every time you log out and back in IIRC.

Just once a month or something...

It’s every time. And if I’m traveling and on a phone ( I don’t email on the phone) it’s too big of a pain in the ass to fuck with. Hence why I haven’t checked my account for signs of the Australistanian terrorist hack.
