Please use 2 Factor Authentication - A tale of hackery

We have had a few TRF members including myself get hacked. I personally do not click on anything and I am puzzled as to how my account was compromised.

These hackers (I am convinced it is a gang) are very convincing and will use your first name, will say "lets do a F2F" in your area (based upon your location), will disable incoming PM notifications and delete them once received.


Either way for anyone that does buying/selling on TRF, please use 2 factor authentication and of course exercise the proper precautions...

Looks like many high profile members have their login compromised. It seems unlikely that they've been hacked individually, and more likely there's a security breach on TRF. Not making any accusations but the plausibility of that happening makes more sense.

It’s not impossible that the TRF server was hit - but it is highly unlikely compared to the scores of members who openly post their email account in FS listings.
