[READ] Recent server breach

[Rawson]

Let's all be friends

this. we're all a bit shaken, but if you see fit to argue and piss on each other then go ahead

Who is even pissing on each other? We're just discussing this situation right here.

no you're not, your raising your e-voices and getting sarky.

Another advice is, use different passwords on websites that aren't important, i.e. websites for small time servers.

Please enlighten me with the fact that I'll have a text document on my computer with every other password in it on my desktop that way.

Hm, let's think.

2 passwords, 1 for non-important websites, 1 for important websites. If I get hacked on a non-important website, my important passwords will still be safe and secure.

Oh look, there is also a "Remember me" function, how does that work again?!

Oh look, I can also create a password similar to my original one so it won't be a pain in the ass to remember them all!

Nope, let's not take any precautions and cry when I get hacked on a non-professional server. Also try not to use that thumbsup emoji when you didn't make a smart remark.

That's basically saying I should give my bank account number with pin to a company like Sony, isn't it?
Because everyone knows no fucktards & money wolves ever worked there.

That made absolutely no sense.

This isn't a massive corporation hence why they won't be taking security DAMN SERIOUS. You can't blame a handful of guys trying their best to keep a server running. It's your own fault, you are responsible for your password's security. Only thing a company can do is hashing your password, which was probably(?) the case already.

rufio interpreted one of your posts (and so did I tbh) as a smart remark because of the sarky little thumbs-up guy at the end. you wanna carry this shitfest on, shoot me a PM, because this is going against my initial intention.

The fact that you know nothing about data storage/computing at all while trying to be smart against a computer engineering student alone tells what kind of a guy you are. Now, let's stop it shall we? Keep farming that money on rcrp fam

I'm pretty sure you didn't really understand what I just said. Or what you just said, for that matter.

What I was saying is that if you keep using the same password for every 'serious' and 'important' website there's still that chance of some company being hacked and getting the passwords out there.
Thus using a different password for every website would be best, but equals the 20 pages of different passwords.
Didn't that stuff happen to Adobe, or some company like that, once?

Lighten up a bit, man. You seem frustrated as hell.


EDIT: As I just saw your reply on my reply to Austin.
What the fuck does the fact that you're a computer engineer have to do with this? I was talking about a completely different aspect.
Please lighten the fuck up.

It's kind of funny considering you're claiming to be a pro expert in data protection whilst trying to blame it on everybody else for using 'poor passwords'. No. The burden legally lies upon the data holder to "maintain reasonable security procedures and practices” to protect “personal information” from “unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure" - that isn't what happened in this case. The passwords were using a simple hashing algorithm which anybody with basic computer science knowledge knows are vulnerable to dictionary attacks. And the sensitive data was taken from a database leaked months ago, which I don't know if the people in charge knew about before the attack but if they did they should have told everybody to reset their passwords then, before anything untoward happened.

That was simple solutions I gave to you, numerous others were already given such as using a password generator and forcing Google Chrome to remember the password all of which you decided to skip and bash me for my comment with a retarded "thumbs up guy". Sure, massive corporations get hacked every now and then, it's not as common as unprofessional servers such as this one. Why am I "frustrated as hell"? Because someone who knows nothing about my professionality is trying to teach me my job.

Use your brain and think every now and then, maybe you'll understand what my professionality has to do with this situation. You are talking about data storage/security which is indeed a part of computer engineering.

Please, kid. Read the words I just marked for you. Then you'll see what I meant with that.
I wasn't trying to bash any comment you had. I made a remark on the thing you said to open up a discussion about it, which quite frankly, turned out funny as hell.

Thanks for the info on how to get a save password for places like this. I hope players who read through this piece of art actually learned something from this.

Have a pleasant day.

I had already read it, thanks. It made zero logical sense to myself. I'm done trying to bring logic into your argument because you're clearly right already, the police don't investigate anything (cyber crime related) that isn't related to big tech companies and 'SAMP encrypt' (whatever that is) is flawed beyond belief.

the last bit was sarcasm by the way
