Hi there, On Pool we had a situation where a Members Account got Hacked. This isn't new unfortunately as Hacking happens on other sites.

The word is that a hacking program was used where dictionary words are used with a combination of numbers.

You need a strong password with capital letters, small letters and numbers.

Also by changing it every so often reduces the risk of future hacks but won't keep it out altogether.
