Hi All,
I will be repeating this post on four Mailman mailing lists....
I received one of these: "I hacked your account, here is your password and pay me bitcoin" scam emails - to andre@ox.co.za with the password I used on anti-abuse-wg@ripe.net (and three other Mailman lists only...)
As I use different passwords, change my passwords (up to now, except for mailing lists), every 7 to 30 days, I am usually able to know exactly where, when so that I can go look for the how, etc. As unfortunately I used the same email and same password on four lists, I do not know which list data has been compromised.
there are two places a list password is stored. - @mailman itself - @your-mua by regular "this is your subsription overview" messages sent out by mailman. if you find a password that (you think) is current, what is the more likely place it was stolen? -- A. Schulze DATEV eG
