Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Important Reminders
Careful guys.
There is, at this time, absolutely no proof that these "users" were FRC users. In fact, one of the most common hacking / phishing methods is to install a trojan / rootkit / backdoor on someone's machine, and thus gain access to their email and saved passwords. Then, by going through that same person's machine, not only do you have their passwords, but you appear to be "them". Anyone who has run an FTP or email server knows that you literally get thousands of port probes and password-generator hits per hour. In the past I've had people trying to hack in from Air Force computers in Nevada. Of course I have no doubt it wasn't them - some office schmoe simply allowed his computer to be compromised. Let's not jump the gone and start looking at First teams. This could have been anyone, and First certainly isn't going to say one way or the other. |
