[READ] Recent server breach

[Charlie_]

I hold server management accountable and responsible for lacking serious security or pro-active protective measures for breaches like this.
Unacceptable.
Because if whoever did this can pull this off without too much effort apparently, anyone with some technical knowledge could have.

You should only blame people with weak passwords.

Data Protection Laws require the data holders, ie the people maintaining the database and so on responsible for making data as secure as possible. If the passwords were as secure as possible on the database side then sure, blame everybody else. But that wasn't the case, they were (apparently) using a simple hashing algorithm that can be cracked in milliseconds using online tools.

That, does not make sense at all.
This is a server on SA-MP; not a company that holds millions of information.

Fr0st does everything possible to secure this information to the best of their abilities, and i'd shoot myself in the head if he didn't.

"This is a server on SA-MP; not a company that holds millions of information." - They're holding sensitive data. That doesn't make them exempt from securing it. People use their RC:RP passwords probably for most of their other accounts, the burden doesn't lie on the user - it lies on the person holding the data. It's common sense to anybody making any form of program/service that will be holding user data to make it secure as possible. It would've taken one small step to secure the passwords, using a random salting algorithm; that isn't rocket science.

Don't get me wrong, I don't see the point in arguing about it. But I think the point needs to be made so this mistake never happens again. Just because RC:RP isn't Microsoft doesn't mean they should be lenient with your or my data, it's a legal obligation to protect it.

I was saying the same thing. If you make a community and make people sign up then you should have some serious security so the users sign up info gets protected and cant get grabbed by some kid who watched a youtube video on how to hack.

Once again. It's the work of a former management member. Otherwise this wouldn't have happened. I don't think people realize this.

Doesnt change anything, he used to have acces to the database. He left or got kicked out or whatever so the current management should have done something which made sure he couldnt acces the database easily.

I'm pretty sure anything that takes in revenue, either personal or professional through such a digital manner is still bound by such laws.

At the end of the day, these things happen. A lesson learned by management, a lesson learned by the players. Let's all stop crying and pointing fingers and just fucking get on with it; let management fix their shit as they're so actively and currently doing and when the server's up it's up. Until then, go to the winchester..

lol this is fucking ridiculous.

The Circle huh? LOL. If you're going to hack, do something decent at least, instead of shit like this. frankly corresponds your skills.

I suggest to that Circle fags to learn some ethical hacking and create a simple point in their useless existance.

I'm actually surprised for how the management has been dealing with this situation. Keep this good work up fellas!

Fuck Evan tho.

 

[Luke]

when can we expect the server to be back up?

 

[LeGGGeNNdA]

I can't seem to get a new password for my UCP, can some management assist me in Teamspeak?
