Deface only or user data was also accessed?
Who?
"all your x belong to us" is far older than 10 years :v:
[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;49560875]"all your x belong to us" is far older than 10 years :v:[/QUOTE] all your base turns 16 this year, i think
They couldn't even get the meme right, it is supposed to have broken english and they couldn't even put in the "are"
[QUOTE=Knurr;49560554]Deface only or user data was also accessed?[/QUOTE] The guy who hacked it said he got the database with 500k+ users, but there hasn't been any confirmation.
[QUOTE=RedStar;49560905]all your base turns 16 this year, i think[/QUOTE] In two years all your base will be old enough to vote :cry:
[QUOTE=sirdownloadsalot;49562686]In two years all your base will be old enough to vote :cry:[/QUOTE] And it will vote for Donald Trump. Oh wait, you said years, not months. I need to disappear in shame for a bit now. BDA, do that thing you do.
[QUOTE=usaokay;49561009]I wish hackers are a bit more civilized. Like, in the past 12 years of witnessing multiple hacked sites and interacting with hackers in games, all of them seem to be like a bunch of a immature babies, which doesn't help themselves lol. In fact, I hope I see the day a message appears on a popular site: "This website has been hacked by EdgyHackingGroup #83. We have taken your userbase, so we suggest that you change your passwords. We apologize for the inconvenience. Your website will be back up in the next couple of hours. Thank you, have a nice day, and god bless the United States of America."[/QUOTE] The best ones probably don't leave messages.
[QUOTE=usaokay;49563162]Yeah, they'll leave memes of 420 and energy drinks. or they'll replace the page with a picture of their group icon in front of a black background to give it that ~[I]edge[/I]~[/QUOTE] You know that beyond the script kiddies, there are many many legitimate hackers, right? They can be incredibly damaging, too. It's not all merely petty defacement.

Real hackers are more like "All your database are belong to us" Except they won't leave a message and you may not know for months that someone got in and stole your shit.
Script kiddies are what most of these groups are, they have no real goal in mind and just do it for [I]The Lolz[/I] and internet points from their circlejerking buddies.
Eh, it's either been hacked again or the message has changed. [b]Oh, it's just the non-ssl version[/b] [t]http://i.imgur.com/wIbsMfm.png[/t]

well having a salt pretty much makes the passwords uncrackable on modern hashing algos; i doubt their exploit has anything to do with the database.
What is this website? Can't say I have ever heard of it before.
[QUOTE=Map in a box;49566637]well having a salt pretty much makes the passwords uncrackable on modern hashing algos; i doubt their exploit has anything to do with the database.[/QUOTE] Unless they improperly salted it
[QUOTE=phygon;49567047]Unless they improperly salted it[/QUOTE] Not really, even a constant salt would make it very difficult to attack because it'd invalidate rainbow tables. If they were properly hashed, erg sha512 then you're looking at a ton of time to brute force alone, time that they obviously didn't have to go through.
[QUOTE=nomad1;49566756]What is this website? Can't say I have ever heard of it before.[/QUOTE] A community that tracks and reports video game deals/sales. Extremely useful; I'm RSS subbed to their deals forum and Twitter. The community is pretty great and the guy who runs it ([url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CheapyD]CheapyD[/url]) is really cool. He's raised a lot of money for charities and donated a lot himself. I can't imagine why anyone would target this site for an attack. Maybe they paid full price for a game and got jealous? :v:
It really looks like something straight from the 2005 internet
