Well I'm just worried as my email was my first/last name at gmail.... Although it ended up being an email I only have tied to my gom account so I'm not all that concerned about being hacked, although I'll change all my passwords anyway

Well, I got 200 € stolen from my paypal account a few days ago, it was the same email adress as gomtv, I think I now know what was going on.

I was about to ask if I was at risk, but then I saw that those of us who logged in through FB are not. TY for the warning and I am really disappointed at GOM for keeping the passwords so unprotected...

Sony also stored passwords in unencrypted text, apparently it's common among all companies to do that.

Really scary.

Meh, don't use the same password for anything anyway so I'm cool. I'm sure GOM will fix it ASAP, TY for the warning R1CH. (Honestly you'd think with all this kind of shit going on by 2011 people wouldn't use the same pw.

)

Edit: With that said the numbers look pretty sweet. Props to the e-Sports community for managing over $2.5m this past year.

Thanks for the Warning, will pass it on. I was so stupid that I reset so don't know the PW I had but I use unique for everything important ^^

Look on the bright side, GOM might feel obliged to give us free vods or hq.

Yeah, this is totally unacceptable if it is true. Storing passwords in plain text? I learned about hash tables in fucking high school. Gom definitely owes us an explanation.

Not surprising. Korean websites seem to be notoriously poorly coded (sc2bw anyone?). I remember not too long ago gomtv didn't even filter anything in comments and were like here, use XSS lol. Out of curiosity do you know the nature of the exploit? Was it something trivial like SQL injection?

EDIT: Thanks as always for the info r1ch.

i think someone with skills got pissed that koreans withdrew, too bad that prick didnt know the full story, or he might not have done this. EFFING a-hole hackers!
