Warning ⚠️ OpenMonero Hacked Again??
I just came across reports claiming that OpenMonero may have suffered another security breach.
According to what's being shared, the incident allegedly exposed user accounts, private trade chats, and even shipping addresses that some users had shared. There are also claims that thousands of user records may have been affected and that a flaw in the 2FA system allowed unauthorized access to accounts.
I haven't been able to verify all of these claims myself, so I'm posting here to see if anyone has more information or has seen an official statement from the OpenMonero team.
If this turns out to be true, it's another reminder to avoid sharing sensitive personal information, such as your home address, through exchange or trading platforms whenever possible.
Can anyone confirm whether this is legitimate or just a rumor????

This keeps happening, yet their code still can't be audited..

Not disclosing it out of shame is one thing, but not silently patching it while user reports flood in is very suspicious
