Oh my... I have 3-4 passwords I rotate between depending on how important the data is (from 7 letters to 40 depending on the importance) but I still use the password I had on gomtv for a lot of stuff... Sigh, its gonna take a while to fix all of this. Thank you GOM for storing our personal info in plain text. Retarded.

I use junk emails and passwords for almost anything so worst case someone steals a random forum account somewhere ~ohnoes~

Thanks for the heads up

BUT ITS PRIMETIME IN 'MURICA so I fully expect the world to bend over backwards to do everything in favor of what's best for 'MURICA.

just kidding but yeah you make a very reasonable point.

p.s. those of us that are socially-savvy and use facebook to sign in have nothing to worry about, right? (jk about the social savvy part)

Should have always known to be wary of Gom. Wealth of an operation probably influences the level of security.

Yeah about Keepass... I dont get it. It saves all my passwords and it is itself password protected. But if someone gets that password its the same as having one password for all my accounts lol cause he can just look all of them up in Keepass?

But how will he get that password? If you are keylogged you are compromised either way. Now if only your GOMtv pass gets hacked everything else is still secure. Of course you could remember each password ....

edit: also plenty o tips to make it more secure (for example: http://www.geeksengine.com/article/keepass-8.html)

Wow, that sucks. Luckily my password for most sites is the one that they randomly assign when you say you forgot your password.

Can someone explain to me why I have to change my password to accounts the hacker doesn't know about? If my GomTV password was pass1234 and I used this password for my teamliquid account, why should I change my teamliquid password? The guy who has my GomTV info doesn't know I browse teamliquid, and even if he did, he doesn't know my TL login name. (teamliquid in this case is just an example)

Of course it is recommended to change passwords to everything to be safe, but technically there is no reason to change any passwords, right? (except for your e-mail, granted you use the same password)

Chances are most people use the same email for GOM as they do for Battle.net. Now do most people play SC2 and watch GSL? Also, a lot of people keep the same password for both.
