Attention: Password Reset Sufferers
Ever since a data breach left user accounts vulnerable to attack a couple of months ago, VerticalScope has been going through each one of its properties and resetting user passwords.
Normally, this reset would result in an email being sent to the user notifying them of that fact. However, some of our more prolific members have decided to provide email addresses that simply don’t exist.
I’m here to help.
If you’d like to access your commenter account once again, here’s what to do:
Send an email to me at mstevenson@ttac.com telling me which account is yours and that you’d like to access it again. Try to provide me with a verifiable piece of information from your account so I can ensure it’s actually yours.
Once the account is verified, I’ll change the email address to one that’s valid so that you can change your own password manually.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out by email or in the comments (if your user account is in working order).

If we changed our passwords ourselves after the notification of the data breach will my password be reset
why would someone use a fake e-mail address? especially for this website? ya know people... they're free! but then why didn't ttac not confirm people's address at sign up? seems very 1995.
I have no idea why I can't edit my comment for spelling errors. Someone doesn't like my comment already. lol
I just logged in with my old user name and 4 digit password from years ago.
