I don't recall seeing this posted, the rat site was hacked back in February. Anyone with an account there should have gotten an email recently:
"What Happened?
On June 13, 2016, we became aware that February 2016 data stolen from VerticalScope was being made available online.
What Information Was Involved?
Community member usernames, email addresses, hashed passwords, community userIDS, community website, and the IP address the username originally registered with."
Probably time to practice good web security and change your passwords associated with that registered email address, I know I am.

We all know the cure for that, they get hacked, and we will be admonished to come up with an exotic password (that's hard to remember) to fix their problem, which is primarily ours now. At least until they get hacked again.

I was under the impression you could no longer log on with your old password and were required to create a new one.

That's correct.They send a new one to your email and you then make your own

 that's true. My new one is more complex than my old one.

I very seldom visit that site anymore because it is just so damned slow.
I never did get any notification from them about the hack (not in the spam or junk boxes)So I went on the site to check it out, read the story (that took 2 tries) couldn't get to the change password stuff, so tried the 'contact us' route, wouldn't send.
so screw it, not much to see over there anyhow.

I agree, I haven't been there for a decade. But, there is some good info and tech stuff, which pops up when I "google" a specific problem on the net.
