I have to say that after reading more than 2000 comments here, and more on Twitter, the news etc. I feel kinda tired and realized I have to focus on domain investing again. All of this that happened surely thought me a lot as I am currently studying cyber security, this thread was invaluable to all of us, a live example of what can happen when security is not taken seriously. And I hope more people learn about domain investing too, it's a nice way to earn a living.
Let this breach be a lesson to all of us, for investors as well as other companies. For investors to do research and evaluate where to put all the eggs. And the best is to diversify, because we never know which company to trust, until a breach has happened it's already way to late. Do research how to do best practices for security, unique passwords for each account, unique emails for each account, 2 Factor Authentication etc. which have been mentioned a couple of times here already. But take this very seriously, this is no joke, it is our money, and our families depend on it too. There may be many other companies that have been hacked, and we never knew about it, and all our data is circulating on the dark web. So always be cautious and change your passwords/usernames frequently, not only when we find out about a breach.
@Paul keep doing your great work! You are a real professional and taught us a lot on how to handle difficult situations staying calm. I respect you for that.
@Rob Monster keep praying is all I can say to you and I hope one day you realize the truth, it's not nice to ignore serious security issues when thousands of people depended on you to safe guard our personal info. I hope you learn that when someone tells you there is a vulnerability, do not ignore them nor threaten them later on.
All I can say now is, there is not really a 100% bad/evil person, but only people who do bad/evil things. We were all born innocent, but unfortunately things change with time due to circumstances and maybe some evil DNA code on how we handle stuff, but people can also change to good again if they are open to learn from their mistakes. Maybe in God, or other religions or spirituality such as breath meditation techniques etc. We all have our own ways to deal with life's up and downs. A beer or 5 is also good, or a nice fat joint.
Cheers everyone and hope this will all have a happy ending.
