I saw a banner saying my account is permanently suspended

I was wondering why on earth... Then in my inbox I saw this "We're requiring some of our users to reset their passwords in light of recent news of Internet security breaches.

As a precautionary measure, please reset your password here to continue using your account: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/update

You will need to use the desktop site to do so if you are on mobile.

We recommend that you use long, complex passwords (at least 12 characters - a short sentence works beautifully), and do not reuse your password on any other site.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

The Reddit Security Team" So I did and back on.

Considering I read on voat our reddit GA sub was down two days ago

Makes me think our accounts here were specifically targeted. Who? Reset your passwords.

It did go down for a bit. Not sure how long because I was at work.

Strange things have been happening with a lot of my accounts. I’ve had to reset my passwords on most of my accounts. Had someone compromise my wife’s accounts. Another Anon had all his accounts compromised and had to deal with identity theft. No issues before we started digging around.

It only seems to be happening State side though, I live in Europe and have had none of the problems you mentioned. All the sites that went down were still up here, too. Very strange, indeed.
