There is nothing wrong with logging in on the correct url even if the captcha is only 3 characters long. This has happened before and it is fine. It's not a risk. It's just a glitch and if you reload the page a few times, you will get the normal-length captcha. As long as you are at the following url, you are fine to enter your username and password: silkroadvb5piz3r.onion All of us moderators have posted several times in response to those compromised accounts. As far as I know, there are only 4 accounts affected, and two of them are weird random religious postings (but no scams), and the other two were compromised because the vendors provided their passwords and PINs to a phishing site mentioned in a scam message to vendors. These are not "hacks" - these are the consequences of vendors WILLINGLY PROVIDING THEIR PASSWORD AND PIN to a page unrelated to Silk Road. It had nothing to do with the DoS attacks. It's not a government agency or a "group of hackers" - it is the VENDORS THEMSELVES who have provided their information.
