Did hkpro.com

Get hacked?


I just got this email from them.
Resting my password

Then when I went to the Forum, this is what popped up

Does anyone know what is going on over there?

I got the email also. I don't know it it's legit or not, but I am going to wait on it to find out.

HK Pro has sucked for awhile now. Someone bought it and it is really screwed up now. I will never buy another premium membership there. It's not the members it's the new owners.

I got one from HKPRO and Sig Talk. Haven't changed anything at HKPRO yet, but Sig Talk I had to change my password.

they were purchased by verticalscope and verticalscope was hacked a while ago. The newer purchased sites, like hkpro, probably aren't affected but they are doing an across the board password updates.

Same here from 6.8 forums.  Something smells fishy.

I sent a request in but no answer.  Plus, I did find the new password, but it doesn't work.

They have been buying up a  bunch of
prominently male, based hobby forums.
Guns, fishing, cars, trucks, off roading
as of late.


I just got this email
another one from
HKpro.com

I'm registered on over a dozen various gun forums and almost all of them reset my password recently. The general opinion seems to be VerticalScope's recent hack is the reason for the wholesale password reset as a precaution.

I got a "lifetime ban" from them a while back, cause one of the members was a huge sensitive sally and claimed I bought a P7M13 from underneath him; I waited 10 days before contacting the seller.  He got ALL sorts of sand in his V and I was subsequently issued a lifetime ban for "shady transaction practices"

didn't much care for them anyway
