Several other Nifty Gateway users reported that their accounts had been hacked. “My entire account was just hacked and the person who got in wasn’t even booted after changing my password?!” one user wrote in a tweet.
According to a Nifty spokesperson who spoke to Motherboard, the company was aware of the fraudulent activity. The company claims the affected users didn’t have two-factor authentication turned on and that “access was obtained via valid account credentials.”
