I’ve just received a 2FA prompt for my OCUK account. Password changed.

It came from the following IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

Is this due to the recent hack?

The forums have NOT been hacked. Accounts have been compromised, almost certainly due to people using non unique passwords. In this case, 2FA protected your account so it's done exactly what it's supposed to.

That's the address you're posting from :confused:


(note, I've removed the address from the first post and my quote)

I think it's because of the 30 day thing. Logs you out, then where you have set it to auto log in, the 2fa kicks in.

Of course, I could well have just made myself look a plonker but...I think this is what it is lol

It certainly wasn’t me but I’ve changed my password now.

My password for OCUK was unique and not used across other sites.

Yeah this sounds most plausible. I'm sure you won't have been the only one today.
