That's a pretty ugly idea, man. Ask for a refund or whatever, but class action lawsuits don't help you, hurt the defendant, and make some lucky lawyer rich. I appreciate the crash course in internet security from poppa r1ch! | ||

It looks like GOMTV have pulled off a Sony here (although at least Sony did encrypt their sensitive information.) Besides, aren't there data protection laws preventing you from storing sensitive information without encryption or similar security measures? I mean IANAL (I Am Not A Lawyer) and I know absolutely jack shit about the state of data protection legislation in South Korea but wouldn't that have effectively made GOMTV's actions illegal? If what R1CH said about how GOMTV have stored their passwords is the case then Gretech could potentially be in a lot of deep shit right now. It's especially scary because Blizzard have officially endorsed them and the GSL in Korea. On August 14 2011 04:21 Yergidy wrote: Seriously.

The fact that GOMTV haven't informed their customers is rubbing even more salt into the wound. | ||

Kind of, but nothing of importance was compromised. The real CIA/FBI/Military info is stored on a secure server. I would assume via SIPRnet or a higher security clearance source. Something that is NOT available using a 'typical' internet connection. | ||

This one? http://www.gomtv.net/forum/view.gom?page=1&topicid=202665 I agree. At the very least, it would be proper to be given a warning. I wouldn't have caught this if I didn't visit teamliquid on a daily basis. | ||
