| | Dear BrickLink members,
Following the examples of other online marketplaces with regards to security
features such as OTP, we have decided to change the current OTP opt-in feature
to an opt-out feature. This means that sellers will have this feature enabled
automatically in their store settings and will be able to opt-out if they so
desire.
We highly encourage sellers to keep OTP enabled for added account protection.
Additional safety measures may include changing your passwords regularly and
having separate passwords for all your online accounts.
Thank you.

IT: Hey guys? Should we send out an email to let users know we're going to
enable OTP for everyone?
Manager: Nah, just post it in the forum.
IT: What forum?

Manager: The one everyone knew how to find when they wanted to scream about the
proposed part merger.
|
IT: Wait, what? Why would we merge parts? I can make a drop down that will manage
that for you. Would that work?
Manager: Rats, I ran out of gummies, do you have any?

When???

|
I highly encourage BrickLink to find another way to give PA or important information
than posting in a Forum read by 1% users and at 22:43 EDT or 3:43 Paris time

let me in.

Because they would've to buy hundreds of domains, like bricklinks.net, bricklinka.com,
brick-link.net, bricklinkk.net, bricklinks.org...

bricquelinque.côm

That sounds like a French hacker!

| Hello,
Today I received 4 phishing emails from site brickslink.org. This new site looks
like exactly that your screenshot of bricklinks.org.

| | Hello again everyone,
Our security team was able to get the original bricklinks.net site taken
down, but we got reports this morning of a new bricklinks.org site and
evidence that phishing emails have been sent to our users, directing people to
this new site. The new site is much more realistic (see image below).
Please log in ONLY to bricklink.com and be aware that an effort is being
made to steal your BrickLink credentials. We will keep you updated if this problem
persists.

| | You really need to add OTP for all users, not just sellers, for better security.
You sent me the email to tell me about this, despite me not having a seller account,
and finding I'm unable to do it.
Also, to the person asking for SMS 2FA - this is insecure (as is email, tbh).
Bricklink should really implement 2FA via authentication app for proper security.
|
Please NO - apart if it's optional.
