I can't believe there are still websites that store passwords in plain text. What a ridiculously amateur mistake to make.

And of course at the moment it's not possible to modify profiles, so we can't change our passwords, but that's pretty logical given that someone just stole login information for the site. I imagine they'll have to send e-mails out with unique links to unlock our accounts and force a simultaneous password change or some such, since otherwise whoever got our account information could just log in and change our password to lock us out.

You won't get locked out coz you can still use the "Forgot password" feature.

Do you really wanna take that risk? It's better safe than sorry.

This is a good point. It still makes sense that they've locked account information, though, until they can force mass password resets to prevent malicious tampering.

And to zYwi3c: There's nothing in the OP that indicates when the intrusion into GOM's system took place. In your situation, I would assume that both the old password and the new password have been comprimised.

Nice workaround, though you can't change the temporary password to a password of your choosing until the modify profile option is available again

I have to admit I'm a bit lazy with my passwords, and I have tiers of passwords depending how important the website is. Unfortunately I had overstated GOMs security and should have had it at the bottom.

This is a pain.

gomtv knew about the vulnerability since the first GSL. Someone made a forum post about this during the very first events and said it is easy to get passwords etc and that they are stored in plaintext. Post was quickly deleted from the forums and i assumed the issue will be fixed asap but obviously not.

I think there should be public outroar about this, they had all the time in the world to fix this issue but instead just hoped nothing would happen. They have shown their technical abilities to be far lacking in other aspects as well so i guess this and future incidences are to be expected

Thankfully I use a unique Username for GOM. And the emailed link to it is a smurf.

If you're a Mac or Windows user annother alternative is 1Password. While it costs money it also brings browser plugins for most common Browsers to automatically fill the login forms. This way you can disable the browsers password saving function, which is quite insecure too. You can save the keychain file on dropbox f.e. if you need your password chain on different computers (PC, Laptop).

I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just a happy customer.

LastPass is about the same, also providing extensions for all browsers to automatically store & fill username / password fields. It's free.


You mean this LastPass?

""Network traffic anomalies" to and from the databases of the LastPass password management service have caused the company to suspect that intruders could have harvested personal information – including some customers' master passwords."

Stay away from stuff which saves your stuff online.
