FA and where I stand. Where to find me elsewhere!

Hello friends/watchers/random visitors
I am cutting down my activity on Furaffinity until things are entirely smoothed over. I discovered that accounts using my associated email address were being targeted. Thankfully nothing was broken into but I'm going to play it safe, I made a new email account purely for this website in case this happens again and removed the previous one from any other website I used it on. I suggest you all do the same. I'd also advise you to change anything that used your FA password.
This latest problem isn't something minor, we were originally told that only uploads and user names were affected. Then we were told encrypted emails and passwords were leaked but after all the attempts on my own and other people's various accounts I can't help but feel this was an understatement. I am under the impression the site is still using the leaked source code which means it's still vulnerable. Even the mess up of using http instead of https for the forced password reset leaves me feeling a bit uneasy. Nothing against them personally but I can't help but feel the admins here are in way over their heads.
I will still be stopping by to check others artwork. The users of FA have been very good to me over the years.
