Yes they dropped last week. I heard Cabela’s has a bunch of them right now. I ordered mine online because I’ve missed the last two drops.

Sweet, I’ve been waiting for a nice camo pattern in either a Yeti or Hydroflask (yeah right) to get me a 30oz. Might have to swing by Cabela’s and spend some points.

I believe he’s saying that if EVERYONE took security more seriously, it would be more difficult for scammers to gain access to accounts to pull their scams with.

Sorry but even if every active BF member took every precaution to protect their accounts using 2FAS & changing their passwords regularly, there are dormant accounts still buried in BF that a hacker could infiltrate & use to perpetuate a fraud which was the case in the example I provided.

It was a dormant account with only 5 trades 10 years ago and I'm certain there are other accounts just like that.

The owners of those accounts have left BF long ago but BF still maintains them but, if the admins, placed a time limit on accounts & deleted those that were dormant for say 5 yrs or more THAT might prevent unscrupulous hackers from using those accounts to attempt to scam our current members.

The lesson I've learned long ago here was to check the trading & participatory history of the person I am dealing with and, if there's any question of their veracity, to just walk away which is what I did in this case.

Yes, security is everyone’s responsibility. Admin should disable dormant accounts. That one of the very first things security audits look for.

If a hacker hacks into a dormant account that has feedback…what’s to stop them from paying for a membership and starting the scam?

Nothing but hackers are only interested in taking $ & not spending it.

That's a shortsightedness that we should be thankful for but, even if they paid for a membership & ripped ppl off, they'd still eventually get found out.

But, unfortunately, there still would be some people who would become victimized in the process. 🤷‍♂️
