Hello everyone,
140 vBulletin Forums were hacked on March 21, 2017. This hack exposed 942,000 accounts with personal and sensitive data. I went ahead and checked various accounts from our website, but it seems our forum was unaffected.
I just wanted to inform the community just in case anyone's account was breached. Your personal and sensitive data could be used for various scams etc. in an attempt to steal your identity, money, and personal items/materials.
Please check out this website to see if you've been affected or have other accounts exposed:
https://haveibeenpwned.com
Yes, this website is legit.
