Re: FFR Hacked.
I'm CS so all this IA talk is making my head spin. Do I need to set my account on fire or not?

Re: FFR Hacked.
Good thing I've not changed this password since way back when people were randomly logging into eachother's accounts back in like 2014.
I should be fine in other places since I regularly change those passwords every couple months.

https://forum.hashkiller.co.uk/topic...spx?t=9971&p=5 (It's just forum with people begging for random leaks I found.. however, from this you can see that I guess people have known about it for a while?) If you are worried about some chinese gold farmer maybe lol.. as far as I could find, it's a private database (l0l this makes me sound like im trying to find the list of password o_O Mark my words someday I will BECOME ETIENNE), so I don't know if anything would even come of it. Should be fine tbh, worse leaks have happened to be fair.. I'd say yeah just change your password or w/e. I'm just curious how it happened and why lol.. I swear, someone probably just tried to steal tons of random vB databases... By the way, I also saw a website that was saying that of the accounts hacked, 300k~ of the passwords were actually encrypted and the rest were plaintext l0l gg, probably bs.

Re: FFR Hacked.
I did take a cryptography course... with the math department lmao. CS definitely does not go as in-depth as you would expect on the security protocols side of things.

Re: FFR Hacked.
if you enter your email and it says pwned twice, is there a way to see what the 2 sites were, or is it just to guess from the list they provide. clicking the 2 times or whatever doesnt show that

Re: FFR Hacked.
Hard to take seriously a site that describes your information as having been pwned.
So the site tells me my email has been pwned 4 times in the past 8 years, and yet all four sites, that email address was tied to the same username, which it informs me has been pwned 0 times. So I should panic because they got my email and username, except they've never gotten my username. Seems legit. Last edited by devonin; 09-6-2016 at 02:37 PM.. |

Re: FFR Hacked.
I would recommend users to change their passwords to something that is:
1) Reasonably strong. Avoid common dictionary words and try to mix in numbers, symbols, and/or mixed capitalization of letters. 2) A password that is not used anywhere else. 3) Not easily guessed by someone who knows you personally. For example, if your password included something about soccer because you have a personal interest in soccer as a hobby, it can be guessed. This has happened to some friends I know. Additionally, keep in mind that: - 61% of the 1.8 million user accounts were already stated to be hacked (i.e. compromised on other sites) in February. One of the easiest ways to have an account compromised is sharing a password amongst different sites that were already breached, so please use different passwords. - A large majority of that 1.8 million account demographic is inactive and the passwords are probably simple (e.g. dictionary words or "abc123", I have guessed some user account passwords before on this site from being common dictionary words). - There isn't any evidence from what we know about an attack happening through vbulletin. I did have a talk with Velocity about user security recently and he can chime in here if needed.

Re: FFR Hacked.
I bought this to the attention of admins months ago, when leakedsource.com indicated that my e-mail showed up in records for flashflashrevolution.com. I didn't go public because I didn't want to panic anyone or alert people that might have bad intentions that the data was loose.
Nobody ever got back to me. I don't know if they didn't receive the info or not, but this is nothing new. The data has been circulating for a long time. Leakedsource has a lot of obscure leaks, so I guess the FFR data dump didn't catch the attention of haveibeenpwned until recently. I let them know about the dataleak on May 24th, according to my e-mail. According to leaked source, the result was: Flashflashrevolution.com has: 1 result(s) found. This data was leaked on approximately 2015-10-09. So I'm not certain where haveibeenpwned is pulling Feb 2016 from. Maybe the data was leaked twice? I use Keepass now and have a separate strong password for everything. http://keepass.info/ Last edited by Coolgamer; 09-6-2016 at 07:23 PM.. |

Re: FFR Hacked.
Bahahahaha, I think I put in the wrong email address when changing something on here because the email I used for it is fine, but after checking, the one presented on my profile is different and was "pwned".
Double score as I don't use that email for anything else. |

Re: FFR Hacked.
Really, what should happen is admins should force a check to see when passwords were last changed and force people logging in to change them, or just reset everyone's password like was done with other sites.
Ideally, e-mailing everyone about the breach would be nice, but it's likely many accounts have been abandoned by now. Damage control is critical. Also, holy hell, I think I'm the longest member on this thread so far. Has it really been since 2003? Almost 13 years... Last edited by Coolgamer; 09-6-2016 at 07:19 PM.. |
