• 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.

On Nov. 20th, I believe some hijacked my account and made a bunch of posts. Are there any logs of what IP address this person used, and would it be possible to delete posts made from this account on the 20th? I am going to change my password and hope it doesn't happen again.
 
All of your posts on the 20th were made from the same IP that you now using. Someone was using your computer to post messages. Start asking your family and friends who was on your comp. Never walk away from a logon. ;)
 
Thank you. My little brother was the only person in town that I suspect would have done something like this. It is a relief to know who did it though.
 
From looking at the post made on your account, all were legitimate well formed questions. You are lucky in that respect since you are responsible for what is posted on your member account, no matter who made the post.
 
Well at least he didn't do any damage. I should have logged off of Windows, but I left some BitTorrents downloading instead. I'll probably have to set up a limited user to keep him off of my computer when I'm away now. What a pain in the ass siblings are....
 
My "brother" gets rip roaring drunk and usually posts on Thanksgiving and Christmas using my secret login.....bastard.
 
That sounds like a good idea. I'd love to hear others stories :D. I'm just glad I was only out of town on the 20th.
