This is first grade database protection people =.= . Sigh... It's really not surprising. I'm working on my computer science bachelors right now and security is barely ever touched upon. A class that covers databases never even bothered telling students to use prepared statements. I know several of my classmates turned in projects that were completely vulnerable to SQL injection. I doubt half of my classmates know what salting a hash means rofl. | ||

SHA-1 256/512 even an MD5 can take months to crack. And MD5 salted the salt can be isolated ,and thus negated. | ||

I doubt half of my classmates know what salting a hash means rofl. Which is why I have a big hatred towards IT people. Too many times have I encountered someone with a degree that has absolutely no knowledge of SQL injections or hashes. Too many a times have I been lied to that everything is optimized for speed and all that jazz when all they are doing is tying strings together until the thing starts falling apart. It' s depressing to be someone in the designing industry to have more knowledge of security than some of the people that are actually supposed to know that sort of thing... | ||

Dont think they care enough about the actual GOM accounts. Maybe they really really just wanted to watch the HQ GSL and GSTL streams =P This sucks though............ | ||

Also really glad I have different passwords for GOMtv and my actual e-mail. Still, worth making sure that nothing happened. | ||

Every account is already compromised. As you say someone may have exported their whole user database and no matter how quick GOM acts they can't do much about that. If anyone did use their gomtv password for anything else important they need to change the password to those other things, and in particular if their email account has the same password. Changing your gom password will not necessarily do anything as someone may have your old password on file, and someone said the exploit still works. Storing passwords in plaintext is obviously stupid, but given how badly designed many sites are people experienced with the Internet should have learned rudimentary protective measures (ideally unique passwords via an app like KeePass, but at least unique password for mail and financial management).

You remember one master password that you DO NOT use for anything else, then have it generate complicated unique passwords for all sites. Personally I also regularly write down a hard copy of my passwords in case of HD failure. | ||

Plus using CTRL+F to find the word Password on each web page helps find the change your password selection. | ||
