Potential Database Breach

Hilarious :D

 

That's the problem of all popular websites. Hackers are trying steal emails from members and sell them to advertisers. Expect viagra ads in you inbox.

 

Sometimes they do it just to show they can. They change some content of a website to say "we were here". We need to light our torches and hunt them down (just kidding. don't touch my mods hackers).

agreed as well as what action can be taken if the files did have viruses to maybe fix it, for example if they are viruses, what kind trojan etc?

@Dark0ne - Will you be adopting SQRL when it is finished ?

 

Steve Gibson is apparently very close to completing the initial version

 

With regards to site passwords it will be a dream come true for users

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQRL

 

and the development newsgroup discussion ..

Users basicly click a QR code on page, and they are logged in. Thats it.

They just need to run a SQRL client for windows.

 

No site hackers will be able to get hold of any user passwords ever again.

Thank you for the information,

 

here's something bad happen here at my side, in the background, while i was at my forum-profile writing some PMs there are starting 5-6 conhost.exe-processes in the background, which shouldnt be there, the browser becames extremely slow, maybe its not related to your problem, but i think its better to say it - even its a possible false warning - then not to say it :blush:

 

Anyway i wish you good luck, much energy and patience to find an fix the problems.

 

Best wishes, Ceares.

I didn't change my password for this site because there is nothing of value, but I did change my password for my email account and other sites that have my debit card info, also Facebook. Thanks to you, I discovered that I haven't changed some passwords in over 2 years! Definitely gave them an update and upgrade.

Seriously, who would hack a gaming mod site?

 

Not doing this place down, far from it, it's one of the best gaming mod sites I've ever seen, but what would someone have to gain from it other than simply being a pain in the arse!

 

Too many spotty teenagers with uber-rich parents who don't care that their child sits in their room on their PC all day and night.

 

Re the heads up: Thanks. Some of the big organisations could learn a thing or two from you guys.
