Change your password frequently. Use strong Passwords. Use a Password Manager and Enable 2FA on your accounts if possible.
Yes, but more to the point - I'm guessing - be really wary of social engineering. Anyway look, we'll find out soon enough, straight from the horse's mouth:
PS: I will be posting a video soon explaining everything that happened and offering advice for how to not get hacked.

Good for you and your turtle.

The autoship orders save me 12 dollars a month over my local grocer.

It’s not really the savings as much I don’t have a cart full dog food etc when I’m out shopping for your tampons.

although out of line the way you and "Bruce" go back it's between you two, however, the broad brush you paint "old" people with is a mistake

It’s sarcasm. I’m pointing fingers back at the ones acting like a-holes here. The first one who hurled insults at Dave, the second who hurled insults at me for doing it.

Not enough people fire back at these guys. Members like Zerksies seemingly get a free pass to antagonize and then insult people but you want to take issue with me responding to that? You’re being overly sensitive and completely missing the point.

I’m old too.

I’m 45. I’m old. I’m not her to argue age. We all peak in different parts of our lives at different ages.

As some of you have noticed, my DrDaveBilliards YouTube Channel is finally back up!!! This is a huge relief for me since the Channel is such an integral part of my billiards.colostate.edu website and since it represents a huge amount of work over the last 20 years.

I lost some subscribers and my Channel reputation was tarnished a little in the process. If you want to show some support, please consider subscribing to my channel (and turn on bell notifications) if you aren't a subscriber yet, and please encourage others to do so. Please also view some of my videos and click on the "Like" buttons, and encourage others to do so. All these things will help bring my channel "back to life" in the eyes of the all-knowing "YouTube Algorithm." Good collections of videos to watch can be found here:


Enjoy, and thank you!

PS: I will be posting a video soon explaining everything that happened and offering advice for how to not get hacked.

In case people missed this among all the "clutter," here it is again.

Maybe after everything is settled and stabilized, I will do a video explaining everything that happened. Long story short: the hacker was brilliant and I was stupid.
If you feel you’re stupid, the rest of us need to have suicide prevention on speed dial. 😰

When you see my video explaining everything that happened (I hope to work on it tomorrow), you can judge my stupidity for yourself.

Thank goodness hopefully the hacker was bit by a Mojave Green Rattlesnake on the private part.🤩

Not saying this is the cause, but it's something for all of us to keep in mind.

Looks like my minimum standard for passwords is good for 3000 years, at least until quantum computing comes to the fore. Cryptologists are currently working on throwing a wrench into that eventuality. Keep in mind that the figures in the table refer to the maximum time it would take...it is quite possible for the cracker to stumble onto it well before that.

Since I have about 50 accounts I use LastPass configured to generate eye charts that include symbols, with a unique password for each account. When I was running IT for a pharmaceutical company the minimum was 15 characters but it was made easy by encouraging them to use passphrases, such as "Ihatelongpasswords"

Problem is that once you get beyond a certain number of accounts it is just too much to remember. With a password vault app you only need to remember one password from hell.

Passwords by themselves are a trade off of security for convenience. Two factor authentication (2FA) is better but only if it is properly implemented; sending a one time code to your cell phone is not solid security.
