My Accounts have been hacked. Do not respond until I clearly confirm. My accounts are still hacked
I am glad to hear that you have control of most things again. I put 2 factor on most things now which is a bit of work up front but it is well worth it. If there is anything I can do to help let me know.
I'm happy for you Ali. What a nightmare!
Do you have control of your email adress? We can rely on emails comming from your usual adress?
I had enabled 2FA at all my registrars I have domains with. I then realised after seeing what happened to you that my email account was the weakest link with just a password. I have now just added 2FA to my email account too. Thank you.
Once everything is over you should try LastPass.
I've been using it for a year and it changed my security habits for better.
All my passwords are 20 characters including symbols, upper case, lower case and numbers and I don't even have to remember them.
The good about LastPass is that it's multiplatform and it allows you an illimited number of devices - I think it's the only that provides that.
On top of that I have the Google Authenticator and Authy for 2 level security.
The Ali Zandi Flippa account just asked for post auction offers on mistakecom
(and the listing was blank and said haha)
It seems that account is still compromised.
It is not compromised. Still cleaning up after the hackers mess. He changed the listing descriptions. But the post auction offer is real.
Sorry about your situation Ali.I think being popular and having nice names makes one a Target as they know you have a valuable portfolio also.Whoever the hacker "may" be a member or even one that one has done business with.I have learnt not to use same email for my portfolios.Different email to contact and then other for other things.
Doing the password authentication also.
Ali, happy for you that you managed to resolve it.
As tempting as it is to have everything on your own domain email address, I find it safer to use gmail for account related purposes.
I am happy you getting things resolved.It is scary to experience such and trying to resolve is another.I check all my accounts and make sure every single dime that happens,I get an immediate alert.Not getting access when hacked is traumatic.Thank you, I appreciate that. No matter who we are, with the exponential growth of the internet and the hyper advancement of technology, protecting our assets in all forms becomes more and more important daily.

Any idea how you think you got hacked? I mean, do you think your password was a bit easy to brute force? Or do you ever remember clicking on anything?The best thing you can do is enable 2-factor across the board, utilize the most advanced passwords you can, and never, ever click on any links without first confirming their legitimacy. Hackers are using more advanced approaches daily, so keep your browsers safe, downloads minimal and do whatever you have to, to ensure you have taken every possible precaution to protecting your information and assets.
