Have a bunch of accounts been suddenly hacked
Vanity

Sorry for the vanity. I've seen at least three accounts spamming the forum as if they were automated, very fast.

Now 5 accounts, Behind Liberal Lines was just banned.

The hacker must be based in Ithaca!

This MAY be an attempt to plant posts here and then exclaim..

Just look at this filth, this is what Free Republic is!

Who would profit from this???

I see a lot of posts from banned accounts. This isn’t looking good.

I just updated my password. I doubt if I can remember it though. I need to have a password book to keep track of all of them.

I recognized a few of the acccount, like Behind Liberal Lines, who has been a mainstay here with his “Ithaca City of Evil” posts.

At least three of the accounts were posting normally and rationally before the hacker got to their accounts. I guess the mods banned them to stop the flood of spam.

The mod(s) is/are banning the accounts as a first line of defense to stop the erroneous postings.

FRiends, if you have a weak password. It would probably be a good time to change it! Otherwise, your account might be next!!!

Are you referring to the Glizzy Glizzy posts? If so, it appears that a momma’s basement-dweller has registered with FreeRepublic and is Spamming this site.

I can’t imagine them having easy passwords, we all know better.

You should look into a password manager.

At least it seems to be slowing down.

That's what I'm thinking.

Knowing and doing something about it are two different things. Keep in mind at least one of the accounts was from the 90’s! I would suspect a lot of folks had a very simple password back then for multiple sites.

I’m afraid to go to bed now.

Might wake up and discover my account has been used to
post some sort of filth...

It may be better to shut FR down till it can be sorted out?

Make EVERYONE change passwords?
