News Calguns Compromised Accounts | CHANGE your Password!

[ikeo1]

We're seeing an influx of compromised accounts that match some Calguns accounts. Please be aware of that and change your password, if you're using the same password here and there.

If you have some suspected accounts please note them here.

Seems like a scammers are running around in here. Please be aware and highly skeptical of any great deals on optics that require shipping. If they DO NOT accept Paypal G&S on a new account, report them.

PayPal banned me in 2010 for selling firearms (FFL), to this day I can not reopen or make a new account, so how is it ok and recommended to use here????
Zelle is exclusive with my bank Golden 1.

Not sure if this is what you meant but Zelle isn’t exclusive to any bank. It’s available to multiple institutions.

Unfortunately, PayPal G&S is the only service that offers buyer protection which is important when buying from someone new without a reputation or suspicious.

Good for direct shipping of tools, parts, and accessories but it’s good practice not to publicly disclose the nature of what you’re buying to any of these payment services.

Also, have you tried reregistering with a different email and linked accounts?

My Credit Union, Golden1, uses Zelle as an option. Sorry didn't mean to say it's theirs. PayPal I'm sure has my computer IP address.

Any theories as to how those CalGuns account credentials are being accessed/compromised?

They had a hack in Feb 2024 where the website got replaced with Farsi.

Other than that, they are still running old version of php, vbulletin, and nginx. It basically seems like they aren’t updating the server or any of the services

This is 2026, and some of us are using passwords for multiple accounts. That's no different than having unprotected sex in the bathhouse in 1985. Does ANYONE think this is a good idea?

That's truly mysterious. Every time I try to go there, the site is down. How do the hackers steal information from a site that's always down. Those SOB's sure are a devious lot!!!

For any account that has anything to do with money or anything like that, as well as email & healthcare accounts, I def do off the wall random passwords.

But I really don't lose any sleep over having a few message board accounts have the same PW and Uname. I can only keep track of so much stuff and I have no worries that my sharing the same login credentials between this site, glocktalk, and rimfirecentral is going to have catastrophic gay sex HIV consequences. It's really not that important.
