diedan Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 That's really the suggested layout!? Ugh. That sincerely disappoints me. I need myself some #speakup to get through work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronixal Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Thankfully, I seem to have been spared but still changed all my major passwords and even removed my card details from Paypal. A tad OTT maybe but I like to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Rat Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 My Facebook account almost got jacked just now and I'm pretty sure positive it's because of the Gawker hack... sigh... Ok, not logging in there anymore, fuck them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronixal Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Have Gawker even made a proper announcement yet? I love how Kotaku are just carrying on as if nothing has happened and even have the gall to change speakup throughout the chaos. Â A good day to bury bad news, indeed.

drag Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Just ... fucking ... urgh. I've changed everything important I think, just in case, even though I didn't see my name on any lists. I'd still like to get the full list to make sure, but the torrent has been removed. Â Why is there no option for deleting accounts on their stupid websites?

deanb Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 This is one of the better write-ups I've seen http://blogs.forbes.com/firewall/2010/12/13/the-lessons-of-gawkers-security-mess/ Â Their using a fucking 30 year old encryption method. Â http://twitter.com/#!/crecenteb/status/14323378466852864 Â Which I'm sure the WONDERFUL FOLKS who provoked 4chan & Co, and the WONDERFUL FOLKS who put up such shoddy security have nothing to do with it.

Cyber Rat Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I don't know about everyone else, but I'm pretty much done with Gawker. Â Likewise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudkip3DS Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Haha, so much for it being a "joke," eh Otko? http://twitter.com/o...313813642223616 By the way, I'm posting an image of the linked account… in case it gets shut down. http://twitter.com/#...885979559895041 Joke's on you, Giz. Yeah, in actuality, it may be just a joke account, but I just love the irony of it all if that's the case, for a real attack to pop up after this one was "announced." I don't know about everyone else, but I'm pretty much done with Gawker.  I reckon I'll just hang around Lifehacker and io9 now, maybe even drop into Jezebel once in a while, but for Gizmodo and Kotaku? I'm basically done and over with them. Hell, Jalopnik isn't even good anymore, and it used to be the poster child of quality Gawker comment communities.

Â For the username "drag", the email wasn't compromised, but a MD5SUM encrypted password was posted, so you better change it. Â For the username "sanzen", the password wasn't compromised, but the email was. Â As for drift, there are a few of those, and some have the email compromised.

deanb Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Also twitter users: Keep away from tweets concerning berries. A knock of gawkers leak is that many users who have the same name and password, or a linked account, are now tweeting a spam tweets about berries or whatever.

Â Also, could you e-mail whatever the password was that I was using? Â As far as I know, your e-mail is only published for all to see, but I changed my email password just in case (I'm not sure how these things work exactly, so better safe than sorry). The password is encrypted with an MD5SUM string/hash/whatever you call it, so it's just random characters in the text file, but anyone who cares enough can decrypt it without any troubles (my Facebook pass was also encrypted like that (I posted once using my FB account years ago) and it almost got jacked this morning). Â @Yar: password compromised, no e-mail. @jayc4life: both e-mail and password compromised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drag Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 so ... i should be alright as long as i change my drag account password? which i have done already  i tried to change my twitter password before i realised that the email for it and maybe the password i've not used on anything else before. now i basically can't get back in and it wants a phone number before it'll resend/ reset my password. i never gave it a fucking phone number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronixal Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Any chance you could double check mine for me please? I used the method posted a few pages back and appeared to be in the clear but I'd like confirmation just for piece of mind. Not that it matters now, I've changed everything important already.
