Due to the recent hacking and stealing of user information from VerticalScope (45 million :smilelol: ). LRO sent me an email saying they changed my password and i would need to use the provided one to sign in.
It didn't work. So I go to message the Canadian Overlords and in order to verify I am a human just to send them a message, I have to watch a Progressive ad. Now as much as I like to rub one out to Flo, this just kind of rubbed me wrong (get it? Rubbed?).
So this is the reply I sent through the email.
I can't seem to reset my password. When I went to the message page I see that you are making watch an ad for the verification so I said fuck it. Have a nice day.
Thank you Chris for keeping Dweb ad free.

Holy shit.

What a mess. DiscoWeb: still the biggest, fastest, and only ad-free LR forum.

Looks like Pirate 4x4 has been hacked. Not taking my user name or password. If I try to contact an administrator, bad things happen. It starts my computer beeping and it tells me my ip has been blocked. It did this with my work and home computer.
Yea VerticalScope!

I changed my password there after the breach, and I can't get in now either. Oh well.

A lot of my former colleagues worked for VWvortex.com, which Vertical Scope recently bought. They're all having the same problems.

Seems they have been infected with a ransomware. A window pops up saying I better report this and my computer is going to explode unless I call an 800 number. Anyone have a burner computer to sacrifice to the cause? :p
