You're right, GOM literally posted thousands of passwords in public. Come on dude I was just saying there's no point in entering new passwords if the exploit still existed since your new passwords would be compromised as well. You thought trying to stop people from getting their new passwords stolen until they fixed it was shady. | ||

I find it unbelievable that companies can just store information in a txt file. It's like they just open up Notepad and then a fuck was not given on that day. Completely unacceptable and irresponsible. | ||

I don't really like being completely locked out of my personal info. based on the oversight of some random company. But hey, that's just me. I know how to handle myself online and nothing of mine is compromised, I just don't like being locked out of my own profile when I've paid for services with said site. | ||

Dear Valued GOMTV.net users: We regretfully inform you that approximately at 2 AM KST, Aug.12th, there has been an attack against our web site, GOMTV.net. We have found that some of the user information from GOMTV.net has been compromised from the attack. We suspect that the following information might have been exposed: name, location (country), e-mail address, GOMTV.net nickname and password. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and concern caused by the intrusion. Since we use PayPal’s service to handle payments, we do not store nor have any payment related information on our site including your credit card numbers and bank account details. We strongly encourage you to change your GOMTV.net password and if you have been using the same password for other web sites, we suggest changing the passwords for those sites as well. Users who have signed up with Facebook or Twitter do not have to worry about changing their passwords as they did not have to enter separate passwords at the time of sign up. As soon as we discovered the sign of intrusion we have conducted a complete investigation into the incident and have also taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our network system in order to provide you with better protection of your personal information. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding and we pledge to work harder to bring you a better and greater service experience. If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to contact us at support@gomtv.net. Thank you. GOMTV.net | ||

Blizzard locks your account when it's been hacked until they fix it. Paypal locks your account when it's been compromised until they fix it. Banks lock your accounts when they've been compromised until they fix it. It's a required step to stop further damage until it's fixed, nothing shady about that. | ||

Had I been notified by GOM before said action had taken place (i.e. an e-mail similar to what R1CH had gotten, I would be satisfied.) I don't like being locked out of MY OWN accounts due to a companies incompetence. I don't like being left in the dark when it's my info. at stake. | ||

Lastpass is pretty secure. Your post shows the exact reason why Lastpass cant work, even if they only got 20 passwords.. Its 20 passwords to paypal/banks/battlenetaccounts etc, Last pass will store the info in their database with an ecryption key, but the problem is anyone else can get the encryption key as its in their program. Its like having a shop with everyones information for free if u can break into the shop, history has shown us even those in Internet Security have lax security To attempt it with KeePass would require the hacker to break into your computer first, and thats very unlikely to happen unless you were personally targeted, because developing a worm that searched for users who ran KeePass and had an exploit available for them to access is too much time, when they could break into Lastpass and steal thousands of important user names and passwords | ||

 + Show Spoiler + Dear Bethesda Forum User, We have identified a potential breach of our forum user database that occurred Friday morning, Aug 12. We have reset your forum password as a precaution, in the event that any encrypted forum user passwords were compromised. When you next try to login to the forums, your old password will not work. Click the "I've forgotten my password link" underneath the login boxes, and follow the steps to setup a new password for your account. We recommend you do not use your old password or a password you have used for other sites. Further, if your old forum password was used for any other online purposes, we recommend changing the password on those accounts as well. If you have any concerns, visit the following link: http://www.bethsoft.com/eng/contact_email.php | ||
