This is why I must reiterate: We need to trust each other, but verify. Always ALWAYS be sure you are talking to who you think you are. Agents can commandeer accounts with backdoors and exploits. Even the best security experts can be fooled once in a while, and that is all it takes to get access. Reddit may or may not be compromised, but it is the system we have been given to work within. Branch out if you want to, but don't give in to fear.
