Hi guys I paid for a gun kwa kriss vector GBB and it has been removed since I paid for it without the seller responding or any warning someone tell me why please cause I paid quite a bit of money for it see.

Thanks

 
Yea was PayPal but I need to contact them tomoz for it not to go through as it's pending atm. There's more of this fraud going on than ever I'm finding. People also posts guns on here you message them agree few then boom gone for weeks ffs why post to sell then not sell useless!

 
Good man. Still digging and will likely not reveal findings to the forum I'm afraid but I'm glad you got your money back.

People still trust all of their passwords to third party closed source vendors who are prime targets for hackers?

Wow.

It's worth mentioning that it's super easy for a seller to create a PayPal invoice, and that you should always ask them to do so: https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/email-invoice

The invoice should list exactly what goods and services they are contracting to provide, what condition they're in, and how and when they will be delivered.  It forms the basis of an agreement that PayPal can see and act on if shenanigans are afoot.

If a seller won't do that, then I'd let someone else take the gamble on them.

Really not a huge amount wrong with storing your passwords in one, properly secured place right now. It certainly beats most other forms of storing them and certainly is better than reusing passwords.

Also that article points to the fact that the leaked passwords were still hashed (as they should be) and are therefore uselese without decryption keys. Whilst still a disaster it goes to show how a specialist company is still better at the job than 99% of online shoe shops.

The best practical solution is 2 factor authentication where possible. It's not unbeatable but it is difficult to the point that it's not worth the time for a hacker. I'm looking into 2FA for here.

I did ask questions to the seller about the gun and he described it to me and negotiated a price too, I've bought a lot of guns from this site and others and he knew what he was doing I'm thinking another airsofter did it myself. 

But I did think when I did it with the old say if it sounds too good to be true it most probably is, also when he said it's 'new' well they stopped making them years ago so my bad also.... nevermind all sorted now

I'd note that getting shot in the face with hard plastic BBs isn't a hobby that the risk averse will flock to, and "pass" and "word" is about as factorial as I'm prepared to go.

It would be optional if implemented.

I'm not too sure about the negative correlation between adrenaline-fueled, danger-seeking toy gun enthusiasts and online security but if you find a connection do let us know.

2FA is something I always recommend for anything where financial and personal data is concerned, it's less critical for forums, but if the option is there with session based management to save having to use every time on same device (2FA check on new device/log in) I'll take it!

 
Like you I wouldn't be too bothered if my account didn't have admin access and the like, but this would be more for the peace of mind of some.

Staff have been required to use 2FA for some time to access their accounts and we do use sessions to not make that a huge pain.

I've never heard of that password lockers before. Hence why it was attacked because it was shit. Use lastpass or keepass. Only decent ones.
