Your passwords are not encrypted
Hi
Whenever you login on this website, if anyone with minimal hacking skills (packet sniffing) is in your network (public events or just a public wifi), they can see your password clearly. Can something Please be done about it, ty. |

Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
It's not taken seriously enough, and this thread hopefully shows everyone with no knowledge on https the clear consequence.

Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
Synthlight let our cPanel license expire back in May, so there is nothing we can do about it.

Also what has been done to communicate with him ? |
Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
the flashflashrevolution2.com domain isn't taken yet :thinking:
|
Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
Synth owns the website, but does he own the data ?
Are there public terms and conditions we can see regarding to what is intellectual property in this context ? |
Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
actual web security is legitimately too much to expect from this site, so the next best thing we have is social engineering
do what raeko said and have a password you don't use elsewhere and change it sometimes too |

Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
Guys, here's a great idea.
Everyone's password should be "password" for www.flashflashrevolution.com Bulletproof plan that has no backfiring consequences!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Re: Your passwords are not encrypted

Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
you could kinda brush this off as fearmongering but i don't think anyone cares enough about their ffr accounts to think of it as that
|
Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
Tbh anyone here saying it's no big deal is simply not affected by it and/or doesn't care about anyone else than themself for this matter.
That being said, it costs me nothing to try and get information to figure out possible solutions. |

Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
My password is 'password' on like 20 online games worth billions of GP and nothing has ever happened in over 20 years.

Is it not possible to call the registrar's help desk and complain that the registrant has been unreachable for a long time, which is problematic due to website security issues ? |
Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
a domain registrar does not give a shit unless you're doing something like submitting an atrocious amount of spam, and even then enom probably does not give a shit.

After 4 years he still hasn't asked for the password to this account to be changed so he could use it. I doubt much effort goes into thinking about FFR.

And if you think it's a matter of just like...having somebody who is actually here try to get all the data necessary to host the site somewhere else, that already exists and has for years. The problem is "Every single song in this game was provided by permission from the holders of the rights to FFR and Synthlight" and if we just made flashflashrevolution2.com, even outside concerns about ownership of the term FFR, every single song would have to come down until new permission could be reestablished from every single artist, many of whom no longer produce music/have findable represenation and so as far a I understand how the rights issues work, to stay on the safe side, all those songs would just be lost. |

Anyway, once you follow this train of thought long enough you end up at the inevitable question: Is the community of this site worth the security liabilities that reside in it? Would it be better to just pull the plug?

Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
Once it's hosted somewhere else, Synth will no longer be paying for hosting, is another potential pitfall.

Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
It just feels like some part of you is saying that the lack of communication is, at all, happening on our end, like we're not trying hard enough to get a hold of Synth and get him to do things.

I've talked to velo yesterday and he gave me pretty much all the information I need to be well informed of the situation (for example what was posted in the other thread; https not doable on current server settings/os). It is absolutely Not my decision to take whether we should call synth or not despite him ignoring the admins. Cuz you know, I found his workplace easily and the admins have had his phone numbers for a while, so we could easily call from a number that he hasnt blocked. However, not knowing why he ignores the staff makes it a risk of harrassment, which I can totally understand. I personally would try it, but I wont push for it. |

If not, I would consider giving Synthlight a call. Considering this website costs money to keep up (despite very little on Synthlight's end for hosting), and takes up resources (disk space to manage data), I don't find it far fetched to try and contact him with any new information that could lead to actually reaching him. Considering the stance that it takes up money & resources. My deduction of reasoning & 2 cents. Love ya no matter what choice you go with on this. I'm not exactly in a hurry for anything to change. |

I refuse as a simple user to call him personally and unless the admins decided to try and call from other numbers (which they dont seem to like), I will not pursue this communication goal. |

Also another thing I remembered today, Multiplayer is locked to the server and IP, so we can't really change either of those. |
Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
Last time Synth came around I remember he literally came to re-enable profile downvotes then left again

Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
This thread may be closed then

Re: Your passwords are not encrypted
This is where we all go off and create "Fourthstyle"
