Back in february I got a wicked virus and other issues when I accessed the BCAquaria forum.
I ended up with a crypto virus on my computer. All my login info for various emails and my bank accounts were stolen. I had $1990 removed from my bank through an EMT because of the shit put on my laptop they somehow got my login and password for stuff I dont have my computer remember. My email accounts somehow got hacked and were being caught sending out spam. I actually had gotten a virus or something else from visiting that forum a few years back as well. I will NEVER go back on that site.
Then in the summer I got this email from the company the forum is apart of or whatever.

While this sucks big time, to be clear, https would NOT have prevented this. This was a database dump.
