As many of you are signing up, I would like to remind everyone that you should not reuse your password from either Silk Road marketplace or the forums. We have to now consider those avenues compromised and all information on their database may be available to the law enforcement officials. As a result, a new password is simply good practice. I would further highlight the importance of regular password changes and maintaining at least 8 characters in a password to resist any brute force attempts on your account. We have taken precautions against such attacks but your account will only ever be as secure as you are.
