EPTI guess it is time to change my "I don't really care about it password" on a bunch of sites then, and leave it the same on GOM until I'm happy they have cleaned up whatever bug they had that exposed the information, and if someone wants to freeload of my account in the meantime, well, GOM kinda deserve it.

Ridiculous that TL bans people for posting streams of the events when GOM has zero countermeasures to protect account information in place. If you have problems with your brain please see your doctor! | ||

The exploit might be still active, that could be why they don't want to communicate about it If it's not, every minute they wait is a minute a hacker can use to access a website with the password he retrieved. | ||

I can't believe after everything happening at the moment regarding hacking etc. companies still store passwords in plain text...this should really be illegal by now! I doubt it's possible to confirm when this first happened. Even if the ones who publicized this did it recently others may have downloaded the whole db months ago and just be waiting for a buyer (to spam mails for instance which is likely the most real risk). | ||

I had my suspicions, and it looks like I was right. Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT all out to get me. | ||

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. Seriously? i followed a course CCNA (network) and i don't know how much security got drilled into our heads. It went to the point where at least 1/4th of the whole thing was about all possible security methods. | ||

Computer science is more theory and math and less practical shit. The problem is the majority of students graduating with a cs degree will go into software development where they will plague the world with their incompetence. | ||
