To be honest I am glad some other people got hacked other than LLJK.  Maybe this issue will be dealt with quicker/ or even be dealt with at all.

That post was as useless as most posts made by LLJK members.

We can't seem to put our differences aside for the meta, for one second can we?

I'm not saying get along, I'm just saying in this case when meta shit is involved shouldn't we put down hostilities for a second and work together to resolve the issues as normal human beings? Then, once it's finished, Ecko can go back to giving me the silent-treatment, and all of ATS can go back to hating LLJK, and vice-versa, and the game continues.

Its all part of our grand plan to hack ourselves into oblivion.

So was there some kind of glitch that allowed names to be used as passwords? Or is there just a significant number of people who are bad at choosing secure passwords? I'm curious if those of us who didn't choose easy to guess passwords are at risk due to an alternative password glitch

The LLJK people who were hacked did not choose "guessable" passwords, also according to some of the mods developers there is only a certain amount of times you can login before you're locked out of your account, in order to negate brute force attempts.

Basically, the assumptions come down to, whoever is doing this, it's probably linked in the past couple days, and they might have been obtained by some exploit in the database.

Most of it's speculatory but the general synopsis of the thread is: change your fucking passwords.

Are you using steam?. I know steam has an exploit that has been there for months. Using that exploit anyone can get your user name and password (for steam). Weird thing is that you cant target a person doing such exploit, its more like getting random data from random users. Never did it so dont be afraid of me . Salute.

I doubt it, last months steam got like 2 new protection layers and verification stuffs as well.

Source? Somehow I think I would've heard of a massive Valve exploit alongside the mass of Lulzsec propaganda news, but as the poster above me says, even if you gain access to a Steam users account, you need further verification (Email codes, gibberish) to gain access to the account.
