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.
Wow! I've never heard of anything like this! If using https is "a thing", then why are none of the biggest forums using it?
