Default Hasan Chowdury operating on this site as a Scammer

I am a bit surprised to learn (in a bad way) that for a several months Hasan Chowdury has apparently been hacking Rennlist user accounts and scamming people.

If this is true why 1) Havent Rennlist / Internet Brands put out a general warning 2) Why is it continuing to happen, do they have no security are we all at risk ?

and not the first account he has hacked here either please view the following thread https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1172563

How many users use 2 factor authentication to login just out of interest, I do for my bank account etc but not Rennlist as I have always trusted them over the last 20 years and tend to access my account at least 10 times a day, for which 2 factor authentication is an issue ?

I did not even know it was an option on Rennlist

this is the option of Rennlist admin / Internet brands, its seems we all stupid !
"These accounts have not been ‘hacked’, they have been accessed due to the poor security practises of some Rennlist members. As I noted on Friday when it became clear to us that this is more than a single event, we took steps to censor the phone number, email address and name of the scammer."

I find it odd that this keeps happening by the same guy, using the same method. I doubt he is 'hacking' anything, but rather exploiting some sort of flaw in the website when people utilize the remain logged in feature. Seems like there would be a way to prevent it.

that's pretty messed up. i've certainly been willing to part with my better judgement based on rennlist reputation. this is a reminder that the internet never fails to bend us over.

This scum scammed people on The Rolex Forums:

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...4#post10658754

most recently here, https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=745778


There has to be a way to track the payment wires to the scammer’s account ? One of my friends was his victim and love to catch this guy.
