[PREVENT] Compromised Accounts

Krish · Mar 18, 2015

As I've noticed there have been many compromised accounts due to bad practice etc. Either way I think that ForumKorner should have a 2 Step Verification for its users so that if it was indeed bad practices the "hacker" would have to have the physical device of the user to break in. This should be a mandatory feature as it would ruin the excuse "I WAS COMPROMISED". I heard from @"EL Alex", on @Shiver's thread asking about the verified group and if they're responsible for scams when they're compromised, that the verified group has a "Location Based 2 Step"(Paraphrased). Not sure if this is true but if it is, it won't be hard to bypass with socks5 proxies in the owners location.
My fix for this is the Google Authy App: https://www.authy.com/how-use-authy-google-authenticator
"Protect your sensitive information adding a strong authentication to your online accounts. The Authy app generates secure 2 step verification tokens on your device which help you protect your accounts from hackers and hijackers by adding an additional layer of security."
I'm sure this has ran through your mind a lot @Philly and there must be a particular reason as to why you've ran forumkorner for 4 years without this, but I feel that this is necessary as it's better safe than sorry. I'm sure 2 Step authorization would've saved a lot of people money and a lot of people a ban.
If you've got any problems implementing this please let me know as I'll research into it and see what I can do to help as this is something I feel forumkorner needs to have, especially due to the mass number of deals that go on daily.

I agree. Alot of people have been getting hacked recently, such as @acrocide , and a few others.
This would help prevent that.

Thank you for this suggestion, I don't even know where to begin besides saying thank you so much for recommending this. I definitely stand behind your recommendation one hundred percent, I always take advantage of two-step verification if a website offers it. If Forum Korner started offering two-step verification and if it were available to me, I would definitely be using it.
Enabling two-step authentication will stop 97% of all account hackings/jackings. It would also bring some more enhanced security to the website.
Thank you.

To the people saying that a location based security lockout feature would offer good protection, it somewhat does, it does offer more security than just having nothing, however I do not recommend the location based security feature as you can easily use the person's same city/state sock5 from vip72 or a similar service and get into the persons account easily.
I do recommend Authentication application because you will have to have psychical access to the assigned device to access the account.
This is a great security feature which I see is a must have for all website, I stand behind this one hundred percent.

A code being sent to the physical device is the only 2FA that I'd recommend.

Sure, I'm all for it so I don't have to see someone making a new post every 24 hours because their Yahoo had the same password as their Instagram and Facebook.

Or people don't use the same passwords on Sm's and stuff. I mean I guess this is nice though

Yea I've been more careful lol . I was stating that people should be more careful. I said I liked the idea, just not worded correctly to make it sound confident

your signature makes me want to shoot my dick off

ot; just add some shit like IG when someone signs in from a different IP, it stops them from going into the account until someone signs in from the original IP and confirms that is was either them or they need to secure their shit.

That would be a bad idea because I travel a lot.

Socks5's Can bypass that.
If i had @Shivers Pw, and I logged on with a Socks5 in Georgia (Sorry dropping your state) the system wouldn't be able to detect. This is a lot more secure.

That too..

RE: [FIX] Compromised Accounts

As @Radical stated what if you travel and are on multiple IPs in a short amount of time?

My idea doesn't involve IP's as long as you Physically have your Phone or device you can log in.
@Skinhead wanted something about Ip's and I told him why it was useless.

If you'd like to see this happen I'm sure if enough people replied saying its a good idea @Philly would consider it.

that sucks, but its for security.
would you rather get your account jacked?

Your idea is stupid, if its for devices.
I have, say, 4 devices signed into my FK. how does that work?

Its a app you need on ATLEAST 1 Device. You can log in from anything anywhere in the world but you must have that device with you to get the code from the app. Every 60 Seconds it makes a new code and you just type in that code in appropriate area on FK and you're logged in. You can have 1000000 Devices on forumkorner but you need access to that code when you log in. No matter where you are.

Bottom line is its a second password that changes every minute and is only shown on the devices you want. You can not log in without that second password. You need the actual device to get the code. No possible way around this.
