Marsh Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Someone got access to the website (i believe through the file host) and got access to peoples passwords as they logged on. The smart thing to do is use a different password for every site you visit, encase just this situation happens.Whether you believe you have been compromised or not **change your password**. Change passwords to your other info as well if it uses the same one. No one cares if they have your Eclipse account but if your paypal info is the same change it just to be safe.I believe that the issue is fixed, but with any website no one can be 100% sure. Or that it wont happen sometime in the future. So again, never use the same password twice.Working on making the site more secure for the future. Really sorry about this guys, hopefully we can avoid this in the future. Be smart, change up your passwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnPony Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I guess in the end nothing is 100% secure. We just have to hope that you can patch enough holes to keep it from happening again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likestodraw Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'm shocked that something like this actually happened. It really opens your eyes on how dark people can really be. Thankfuly, I have no important accounts anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I hand't the slightest thought that someone would want to hack a game development community, what is there to possibly gain. Maybe it was for self satisfactory. Took me by surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 I dont think they would care about any info here. It is most likely looking for shared info. If they get your email password they can recover passwords on most other sites., Like paypal, etc. Or simple harvest your contact list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synergy Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 > They are indeed. Unfortunately a script was implemented to log them in plaintext.So who put the script there? Because according to the excuse.txt it was not whoever accessed the site and had the message displayed.Just curious.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it could also have just been someone who found the same exploit as that person did and decided to do harm instead of good. Either way i am now the only person with FTP access and plan on leaving it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
