I absolutely loved them when I was a kid. My own kids were never that keen on them.

-Uwe-
Well , my kids love them too. They seem keen to just spread them around after "building " whatnot. I never had Lego or many toys growing up in communist Romania back in the 80s or so. I had couple small miniature plastic /metal cars in the house and outside i used to push a brick in the sand and do "vroom vroom " sounds with my mouth while pretending that brick was a bus . I had a bike, a football , a small cardboard game , a sort of baseball bat and ....hmmm....that about it as far as i remember. But i had the whole street , many friends , all the trees ,gardens and dirt needed to have fun. My mother used to drag me by the ears back in the house at sunset and i was still ready to sneak out if given an opportunity. Great times , great mems

Between me and you i wanted to throw the legos out for a very long time now , my son absolutely loves to spread them out all over the house. It is a constant source of tension in this household but my wife s convinced that somehow the lego building helps developing skills. I am terrified that my kids will step on one while running like nuts around the house . So i absolutely effing hate legos ! Here s my bag of constant discord and nightmares ! It used to be a much bigger sack but I secretly take 1 piece everyday and throw it in the trash so by the time i m done hopefully no one will notice that they are missing. I tell the kids and wife that the sack of pieces gets smaller because they they ( the kids) throw them under the furniture or in the back yard . Lol . I hate them with a burning passion !! They are dangerous and a hazard in any household.

Haha oh dear. I heard Lego is worth more than gold. Maybe the hackers should invest in Lego instead of us.

I m not sure if my kids plastic pieces could qualify for a genuine Lego , i m sure they are cheap chinese plastic knock offs. Nevertheless i hate the original and the knock off with same passion.

I must have been a rebel as a boy because I didn't like Lego, maybe because my parents bought me a set of Betta Bilda?

Maybe I'm still a bit of a rebel now :D

I did not receive any mail, but reset my password works fine for me. As I don´t use passwords twice (I use a free password manager https://keepass.info/) it´s not a big deal for me. What data they could have? E-Mail....no problem, account has another password. User name...ok, and than? My real name I entered in my profil...who knows if it´s the right one.
@Uwe You did it the right way. You did not pay the 500 bucks and informed the users of this forum. The truth is always a good way :) So for me, not problem at all.

Thanks to the RT admins for being open about the breach. 100+ Kudos. Most of my clients like to keep these sorts of things all hush hush....totally against my advise.

My account here is trivial, first post lol :P

I agree that the forum data is not a big deal as most of it is public except for maybe the emails. But if you've been on the interwebs for a while...you're on a breach somewhere (mine is on a few lol).

My concern is the source code of our beloved VCDS....no intentional back-doors being coded in with out the knowledge of the devs.

Keep it real!

edit: spelink (:

Hello All,
I did not receive any emails either, from the hacker or RT, but of course I reset my password.

Thank you @Uwe !

Rest assured that the source code for VCDS is not kept in this forum.

I did not receive a password reset email. Checked spam. Confirmed email address on this forum is correct. Please advise.

Log out. Then use the Lost Password function. Worst case, e-mail Support@RT and we'll reset it for you with a temporary password.

I had an individual password for this forum, so no harm done. Password reset and life continues, cheers Uwe and thanks for the great work.

Yeah this "Hacking" ransomware nonsense is getting super common for everyone lately. I know it's been an issue for quite a while, but I've just heard a lot more of recent. I unfortunately too have got to experience this chaos in pretty much everything I'm linked to. I ended up needing to completely reset my computer, and lost a ton of stuff. Coming back to a fresh computer, I figured out they have now infested my Facebook, Instagram, and anything else they can associate my email to. So the recommendation of having separate passwords for everything, is a P.I.T.A but will more than likely save you, or at least give you a fighting chance against this stuff. I'm finding that out the hard way :banghead:

Hi, today I received a mail from "myself" saying my account being fully transparent to the invader. Wants 1500 EUR to stop him from publishing a video ... I do not know if that is linked to the hack here, but just fyi. /yutani

I doubt it. I've gotten e-mails like that for years. I've always just deleted them.

My favorite one to date:

Hi there!

Have you seen lately that an email sent by me to you from your own account?

Yeah, that merely concludes that I have gained a complete access to a device of yours.



For the past several months, you were under my close observation.

Still surprised how could that happen? The thing is, your device was infected by a malware from one of adult websites that you lately accessed.

It may seem complicated to you, nevertheless let me try to clear it out to you.



With aid of Trojan Virus, I gained full access to your PC as well as any other device in your possession.

That merely denotes that I am able to see you whenever I like just by turning on the camera and microphone in your PC, while you don't even know about that.

Moreover, I have also obtained your entire contacts list, including your entire correspondence.



Indeed, you wonder, "But my PC is equipped with a valid antivirus, so how could that be possible?

Why haven't I seen any warning?" To be frank, the reply is very straightforward: malware of mine is based on drivers, whose signatures get updated on 4-hourly basis, causing it to become simply untraceable, and as result leaving your antivirus idle.



I got a video showing the way you are jerking off on my left screen, while on the right screen there is a video that you watched during your masturbation session.

Still unclear how bad that could become? One mouse click is enough to send that video to your entire list of social network, as well as e-mail contacts.

In addition, I can as well provide access to your entire e-mail correspondence as well as messengers that are currently in your use.



All you need to do to in order to avoid that from occurring - transfer $1490 (USD) in Bitcoin equivalent to my Bitcoin address (if you still don't know how that could be done, just use your browser and key-in: "Buy Bitcoin").



Below is bitcoin address (BTC Wallet) of mine: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



Upon getting evidence of payment from your side, I will instantly proceed with removing those videos, and that is all, you won't ever hear about me anymore.

You are left with 2 days (or 48 hours) to perform that transaction.

After opening this e-mail, I will get a notice, which will automatically start my timer countdown.



Any attempts to complain to authorities won't be of any use to you, because this e-mail is simply untraceable, just like Bitcoin ID of mine.

I was working on this for quite an extended period of time; so do not even think that I can make a mistake.



In event that, I occasionally discover that you shared this message with anyone else, I will straight away proceed with making your video public as stated earlier.



Good luck.
