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 know that I am well covered power-wise with this set up but I bought the largest...
I just finished debezeling/painting/mounting my Korean 1440Pls monitors. These are pretty hasty pics so I'll try to get a couple with better lighting and maybe some detail shots tonight. Overall, it came out way better than I expected. It's looks like a much more expensive set up than it...
