Is Spiceworks deleting unused accounts?
-
So from what Sean said, it even though it was move off my old government email along time ago, and to my gmail account (like almost as soon as I made it) somehow it was still connected and someone had bean able to reset the password from that and go in and remove my personal email so it was only accessible by them.
-
That's hacking, you could press charges for them impersonating you!
-
Did Sean get it sorted now? Do you have access to your own account again?
-
As a general recommendation, there, here, anywhere like this..... consider using personal or semi-professional accounts (like one on Gmail made specifically for being professional but still controlled by you) for logging into things like this. If you quit or lose your job or whatever, this is part of your identity. You need control of it beyond your employee obligations. Unless you are a vendor and paid to post and represent a company, then maybe that is different. But for normal purposes, avoid work email addresses for this stuff when possible.

Yeah. It was connected to my personal email, but somehow it got connected to the other. He said he didn't even see in the account history were it was attached to that email, but somehow it got changed to that email. They are looking through the logs now to see how it happened exactly.

Cool, that's good.

They've always been good about manually fixing the accounts. With so many email-tied accounts, this stuff is going to happen a lot.

All I know is Jack Kleeblat is still workin' hard on Spiceworks.
Speaking of which, Scott, he's still saying dump that zero and get with a hero.

A backchannel kind of thing.
I use the name Jack Kleeblat for lots of things I need to troll or otherwise social engineer. A few years ago for Scott's birthday, we all went in and tried to troll him hard. I went for the jugular, playing into his innate nature with anything upstate New York and hitting on his wife. I hooked him good.
Never say that PSX_Defector doesn't know how to f***[moderated] with people. With the levels I do now, it's amazing I haven't found some job as a F500 executive or something.

I always keep these accounts tied to personal emails, so if I change jobs I'm good to go.
-
I wonder if it's because they changed to the new "people" profile where you can add projects and stuff you are working on, I'm sure your account didn't get removed. It is probably because they are requiring everyone to have that new profile now.
You are probably use to this as your profile:
But they are changing the look and feel to this:

It was only tied to my personal email. Just that it had been originally created at the time of a spice works install (as I never actually used the community on previous installs) So it was created with a work email but then disconnected immediately and put on my personal. The issue they are trying to figure out is why or how it was able to get back on the work email and how since they reset the password. It's kinda odd and they are sifting through the logs. as they don't see how it happened at all because it was on my personal email but there was no change that was recorded in the normal account to move it to another email.
