I was hacked on Omega Forums and am now banned - anyone a member there that can get in touch with a mod?

Sucks, Mike. I'm a member there--let me know if I can help.

Same.

Although I have no clout on the forum. But go by the same handle for every forum and could prove my worth amongst those registered with other forums.

How did you get hacked?

I don't know but I was lazy and had 1 password for several forums - but not anymore

Just trying to make sure not to get caught the same way

It usually happens after someone gets a PM with a phony link that in an attempt to get the password. If the same password is used on more than one site, the exposure is even worse. They usually go after the bigger forums, like WUS, but it's been tried on DWC, too.
