I just received the following message:
“Heads up, elidevious: A potential vulnerability to your account security has been detected. Your account has been locked as a protective measure…”
Fortunately, I’m anal about security and had a strong password and 2FA setup. But I can imagine many do not. Reactivating and unlocking my account was straightforward; I just had to change the password and use 2FA.
Now that RCPs are worth something substantial, I imagine account hacks will become more frequent.
This is just a reminder to stay vigilant, use different strong passwords across accounts, and setup 2FA in Reddit.
