* People attempting to changes their passwords WHILE the database is being compromised. * People complaining about the database being locked whilst this actually serves as protection for them. * People who use different passwords for different services, and thus are totally unaffected, yet still acting like this is the end of the world. * People who actually use the same password for everything. Really? Those people still exist? * Aforementioned people changing all the passwords to their other accounts and yet still continuing to use a single password. This thread is one huge, tragic reminder of how daft and hopeless people in general can be.  | ||

I'm getting tired of changing my passwords all the time because someone were lazy and forgot to add like 20 lines of code. I think its because well hackers simply never bothered to hack game related companies. When there was almost no risk to get hacked ppl simply don't bother with security. After this whole Sony fiasco hackers suddenly started attacking a lot of sites and well it seems the security plain sucks since they never thought it could happen. | ||

That is just beyond sad. | ||

I don't blame Gom (although passwords should not be stored in plain text in general). In fact, they did something right by having payment via PayPal. Internet security is simply to complicated for every small shop to do it right. (Even big shops have issues). So, I'm sorry this happened, but not at all surprised. Again...don't use one password everywhere. | ||

great post... with such hostility... It's a good thing he waited longer before he put any money into the system since earlier on they had security issues ( which had come to past eventually ).

Since he's not an early bird, he doesn't experience the bugs in the old system. It's like getting one of those early ipod things but then the next one has all those problems eliminated ( + significantly larger hdd size ) or most of it and improved upon.

It's possible that sony is just a big target and gom is highly unlikely to get attacked since it's less known. | ||

My real point here, much like the previous post, is to note that if you use the same password for accounts which have access to stored credit card information, change the login and passwords! When these lists of information are sold, the account information is run on hundreds of sites to see if they can log into any of them, and if so, certain steps are taken to make a financial gain of that information. I never expected GomTV to disregard security and am disappointed in the hoops I had to jump through to restore my financial situation. Damn it Gom. If I had any alternative to watching the GSL (without staying up until 4:30am...) I would have angrily gone to a competitor. Fix this now. | ||

fare thee well perfect password. far thee well...hope this doesn't mess with the site visits too much though. still love ya gom  Edit: wow, this seriously messed with some people. that's too bad. maybe this isn't so easily forgivable. i mean, i'm fine, but that's really too bad for some. Gom should take this really seriously. | ||

What does this have to do with you paying or not, you still had an account. If you payed or did not pay the outcome would be same. What effort did you make, according yourself you did nothing! What reward did you get, that the website got hacked or what? how can this possible be a rewarding experience for you? | ||

I had the same passwords in BNET and GOMTV. Today I cant log in to neither of them, I've just changed my password in both using password reset.. I don't know if my BNET account was compromised... because I didn't receive a mail informing a password change.. but I tried mine and it said it was wrong. I fixed it using password recover and change to a new one.. but I'm not really sure if they accessed my acount. | ||
