Ehmz, I hope for your sake that you are just trolling... If not, this situation clearly hasn't taught you anything. I advise you to read through this thread a bit more... | ||

But you still need an unique password for Paypal and each important site like that. Gom is maybe more secure now, but we don't know if it won't be hacked again (like any other site could be). | ||

How rude of you to come into this thread and troll people who actually made a mistake using the same passwords and had stuff stolen because of this, you come in here trolling like this, very very rude. Also for the slim chance you are being serious, you are just dumb. | ||

I dont want to have to change all PWs again when I do it now. Can anyone confirm it is safe now? Yeah is it safe? Also @hiturheartx - You should always use different passwords for each site. Maybe you can use the same password for lesser important sites (like GOMTV or just forums where there's no major risk if you lose the accounts) but at least use unique passwords for sites like paypal, your email addresses, etc. Also this sort of thing sadly happens very frequently. I remember when "Mozilla" (yes, them >.<) accidentally uploaded account name and password database of Firefox Addon accounts in a public place where it could be downloaded by everyone. Yes so if Mozilla screws up like that, other major companies can screw up (We already have GOMTV, Sony, EA and Bioware, etc all have had these same problems). It really is unfortunately but it happens quite often  .Yep that was when I first learned to never use the same password for sites ever again. | ||

Changed my password anyway, according to XKCD's password entropy guide. + Show Spoiler + Lol, at the picture. Couldn't you theoretically just make the password guessing script try out combinations of dictionary words? I figure this would vastly decrease the number of possible passwords. edit: no that's stupid. There still might be a way to do it though. Like make the script not try any combinations of letters unless they are dictionary words. It'd at least increase efficiency slightly. | ||
