In all honesty I'm just now seeing this so another mod must've honored his request. I wanted him to start a conversation so I could ask privately if he was positive it's what he wanted.

The database has never been hacked. Your personal information has never been available to hackers through ScubaBoard... not then and not now. The code that was exploited allowed an insertion but no extraction. It was well documented and many, many sites were hit when it became available. No databases were accessed, much less compromised which made reversing the damage rather simple. Insertion of malware is far, far more common than hacking into a database. It's embarrassing, a pain in the butt and requires constant monitoring but we keep our software up to date both on the server side and application side. It's not a database hack. Moreover, the only information we have is your email and your unique password... certainly, you don't use the same password for each login. Every sign in needs its own unique password. You can use a password manager like Dashlane or LastPass, there are even USB key systems which will protect you. Flushing your cookies when you end your session is also a good idea. That's where most of your data is stored in any event, right on your PC. But if you are really that worried: just stay off the interwebs and wear a tin foil hat.Will you completely delete my account so my personal information is no longer available to hackers on this site?
It was a stupid decision and accomplished absolutely nothing. We do not delete accounts.Also saddened by his decision.
