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.
Im a comp sci major and most everyone recommends that you start programming with Java because it will make you a less sloppy programmer in the long run than if you start at c++. So go ahead and go to the bookstore and pick up a Java book and once you are done with that you should be about ready...
