Chronixal Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Many thanks. If there is a silver lining to all this it's that it's given me a kick up the arse to change and secure my details a lot more. My Gawker and Twitter passwords were too simple.

MetalCaveman 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. More deets here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11981816 Interesting, the thing I'm worried about is the fact that I have the same username pretty much everywhere, but so far nothing seems to be affected, also, I realized I had the same password in 3 or so sites Well, like Chronixal said, this was a wake up call, I'll be more careful from now on.

drag Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 i used the same password across sites i thought would likely be secure, then a different one for places i couldn't give a shit about if they got hacked sadly i assumed one of the biggest blog networks or w/e fell in that category i hope they all drown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowstep Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I can check anyone's account if they want. Downloaded the torrent. I just need your username. Can you check mine? Shadowstep I also sent you a PM if you could check a previous (presumably banned) username of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 is anyone having trouble logging in? I tried to log in, login failed. tried old password. failed. tried variations of password. failed. tried to reset password. none of my emails are in their database apparently so I guess I'm done commenting at gawker.

Cyber Rat Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Zigmeister, password compromised, so you better change it, your e-mail is not compromised.
