Interesting CF Security Issue
Can an Admin contact me over PM?
Safari on my iPhone gave me an interesting alert when logging into CF yesterday: It said that my CF username and password combo had appeared on the DarkWeb.
I can confirm that my CF username and password combo is 100% unique to CF ONLY, too, so this isn't the common scenario where I'm using the same username and password combo across multiple sites and another site had a compromise of their account DB...
I've been in Information Security for over 15 years, so I did some quick basic investigation and found something interesting that should not be posted in a general, publicly-accessible area.
Obviously, feel free to delete this post and move to PM.
