Earlier this week, noted security researcher and consultant Mark Burnett made waves when he posted 10 million stolen usernames and passwords on his blog. Of course, the security expert didn’t post the passwords with malicious intent. Instead, his goal was to “release a clean set of data” that gives the world insights into user behavior, and also to draw attention once again to the arrest and prosecution of Barrett Brown.
Burnett didn’t steal the passwords in question, of course, but they’re now easily accessible to anyone and everyone — here’s how you can quickly and easily find out if you are affected.
vBulletin is easy to hack so I'm not surprised if they have ATRL info, I am not sure what the owners of this site have done to fix the security holes, I won't mention them, but this software is really bad on many levels. I'm also not worried if they have my info here since it won't lead them to anything.
My advice to anyone using the same password here and on other accounts is to change them and leave the one here unique. I also created a new email account for this site because I don't trust it being vBulletin.
no thanks.
