My gmail account (for school) says there has been suspicious activity on my email account, and that I have to verify myself through phone or text :/

I checked my email and found someone tried to email all my contact lists:

(no subject)

to ggonzale, monkeyskratch, cross.andy, bcebecioglu, bighitter, dpol85, james, JTarzia
show details Aug 11 (2 days ago)
im sure my friends are all tired of always loaning me money I was at
the end of the road this couldnt have worked out better!
://rallispor.com/CarlSpencer74.ht now I can afford season tickets
You will thank me for this!



I edited the link so no one accidentally clicks on it. Should I be worried?

So are 100% of accounts compromised? And is it only accounts that have paid that were compromised or are all types of accounts (like the free ones used to watch the SQ live stream) compromised as well?

Not if you balance the iterations properly. A few hundred ms extra on the login isn't noticeable by most people and is plenty enough to defeat brute force attacks.

Turns out i used the same pass for my hotmail as i did for GOMtv (couldn't remember my GOM pass at first), just glad i had the time to change it before i got hacked.

Seriously, GOM needs a slap in the face for this shit.

Sigh, gomtv was the only site that I used the same password as my email. Thanks for the heads up.

Honestly, until gom makes a statement I'm not even going to visit their website. We know that there is a possible compromise of account information but who knows if they loaded their website with all kinds of goodies.

You can choose the number of iterations, it is usually lower for logging in and higher for file encryption.

I'm not too surprised to find this out. I bought the first two seasons of GSL with two separate new emails that I didn't use for anything else, and received phishing emails back then on both of them. I guess their security isn't that great. :/...

I'll keep purchasing GSL though. x]

You still paid through PayPal since there is no other way to pay. PayPal lets you checkout even without an account.

True, I read that it ain't ACTUAL Blowfish cyphering, but a modified function, and that you can also adjust the calculation rate.

But tell me this, if you want to adjust the iterations, won't you have to re-calculate every password for each user?

I find it absolutely mind boggling that people still store passwords in plain text. Are there any reasons for not encrypting passwords more than sheer laziness (even that is not a valid reason due to the easiness of encrypting passwords)? I just don't understand why you would ever set it up like that, still it seems to not be very uncommon even among big companies.

Well I am glad I decided to play robin hood and let my friend view all of the previous seasons of GSL and GSTL, so I changed my password to something stupid for him months ago.
