Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I started having weird disconnect/reconnect issues with USB devices a week or two ago. They seemed to get more and more frequent. To the point that sometimes, I couldn't use my mouse at all for seconds to minutes. Extremely laggy mouse to boot.
Basic symptoms: very laggy mouse...
