TwoPlusTwo hacked
If you are a member of the large English language poker forum you are advised to change your password.
Popular poker forum TwoPlusTwo has been targeted by hackers again, leaving thousands of poker accounts potentially vulnerable.
Poker pro Max Silver alerted the poker community after hearing that the database has been hacked and members' personal information was for sale. The breach affects all accounts created before December 7 last year.
TwoPlusTwo have confirmed the breach, saying:
This morning (1/8) we received notification that the forums had been hacked and have determined that there is a reasonable chance that the hackers obtained enough information to decode passwords (with some effort) as a result. We have no indication at this time that any accounts have been compromised, but we are taking precautions just the same.
If you have changed your password within the last 45 days your password should not be at risk, but just in case ,if you haven't changed it, you'll be forced to the next time you login.
As always, we recommend that you do not use the same password on multiple sites, but if you have done so we suggest you change the passwords on those sites as well. We also suggest that you do not rely on a user's Two Plus Two Forums identify when conducting any meaningful transaction.
As always this serves as a good reminder to protect your poker accounts.
