[QUOTE=nomad1;46957757]Crash Override sounds like a video game title.
Hell even the site LOOKS LIKE ONE DESIGNED TO PROMOTE IT.[/QUOTE]
It's from the film Hackers.

Well screw you megafat.
Talk about full circle. Remember how Adam Sessler tried to say he was referencing Hackers back in the very first few days when in the bar with Zoe?

Someone is leaking information on 4chan for hotwheels.
Moot just posted this.

It means moot took the bait hotwheels set, confirming that hotwheels has 4chan janitors leaking shit to him.
so that means this leak here: [url]http://sprunge.us/fMVC[/url]
from hotwheels posting here: [url]http://www.8ch.net/b/res/1401044.html#1401195[/url]
is legit, and all of hotwheels leaks = legit.
What was the bait he set?

[QUOTE=PacificV2;46957716]put down the tinfoil hats please, no-one's getting doxxed by visiting a webpage
plus it has literally no scripts running which aren't fully visible and moderately understandable. there's nothing there that would suggest foul play, the only out of the ordinary thing is either the google analytics tracker (which actually supports and honors do not track so) and the awful, awful multiple javascript 1-liners which all override document.onReady() on different <script> blocks to initialize a different plugin or whatnot.
(security addendum: they are logging your access I believe - like any website does - , but they only have what your browser sends them, which is very little, so rest easy)
[/QUOTE]
I am not that savvy when it comes to web coding but I don't even get why they would need malware or something detectable to even do that.
Really just a simple php page can log visitor IPs for you.
It sounds unlikely either way.
Also they paid $6 for the wordpress template.
[QUOTE=Banned?;46957599]I know we have at least one smart person here, can someone confirm that?[/QUOTE]
I glanced at the scripts, absolutely nothing obviously suspicious.
The worst part of that site is probably that it has Google Analytics enabled :v:
Seriously though, as long as they don't use prepared links they can't identify individuals with this, even when cross-referencing. They just get the referrers (where a visitor came from, what they searched on Google to find it), [i]at most[/i].
I am a web developer.
Some malware detectors will trip on the smallest shit. They will also trip on pages that are similar to pages you visit (IE other pages with that template) or on newly-registered domains.
I've had it happen to my own sites.
[QUOTE=Mattk50;46957485][Technically a dox/hacked info/whatever]
OP has a link to a mega that's supposed to have all the leaked info and there's a bunch of funny crap on that thread like how the email used for the 8chan ddos's has a phone number linked to it (which only google has access too) and then a different guy used his phone number as a password. and there's a guy with username teridax.[/QUOTE]
Storing passwords in plaintext. Even LizardSquad should know better than that, so I guess they just didn't care.
I just hope they had an email confirmation request sent out, or anyone could end up in that database.

they store usernames and passwords that don't get confirmed in a separate table but they're still there.
[QUOTE=Mattk50;46955972]peter coffin[/QUOTE]
I wonder why a guy who made up a fake Japanese/Chinese girlfriend (with pictures stolen from a Korean blog) who posts nothing but racial jokes would want to take down 8chan?
Might it have something to do with the quite insightful threads about him on /cow/?

theres rumors that his current gf is also fake too but theres not alot of proof to support it yet
[QUOTE=finbe;46958343]they store usernames and passwords that don't get confirmed in a separate table but they're still there.[/QUOTE]
No, that's just failed login attempts. If it were the case that table would have email addresses.

I guess they left them in plain text in case something like this happened. Just to fuck everyone involved over.

Afaik they used stolen code for that system, so I doubt it was [I]that[/I] intentional :v:

That'll be fantastic for Intel's very large business in Israel, I'm sure.

Well, one thing you can say about McIntosh is that he has integrity. He'll even denounce something as awful if [I]he's[/I] doing it!

Wow what a shitty thing to do to try and guilt trip someone by leaking a shitty thing they were doing.

the Charter of human rights is literally oppression,mob justice is now the only justice mark them for retribution/s
Then again there are people who defend the people responsible for the Charlie Hebado attack because they were offended over a cartoon.
You dont bloody doxx anyone those who do get reported to authorities so we dont have to deal with them on our side or theirs.

I made a response video to ABC's nightline piece. Feel free to watch and share. Also feedback would be appreciated if you can bear a nazi ranting about shitty journalism.
[QUOTE=Tamschi;46956577][URL="https://twitter.com/Femitheist/status/556610266566103040"]The comments were flagged as spam by users[/URL], ABC seems to have not unflagged them though.
(If you log out they are still getting slammed for their bias left and right in the comments.)
Apparently the ones deleted on their site may have had links.
In any case it doesn't excuse their awful reporting (with one person opposing Sarkeesian but no mention of the harassment flung the other way).
[editline]18th January 2015[/editline]
I doubt that much would happen. A lot of the people opposing GG aren't gamers at all.
[editline]18th January 2015[/editline]
Considering they can't really do anything when they stop getting publicity the media just dropping it and anything they say would be a best case scenario.
We'd effectively completely get rid of them, while they flay around ineffectually in their tiny hugbox.
[editline]18th January 2015[/editline]
It's all over the place.
/baphomet/ is definitely chaotic evil.
/gamergate/ appears to be neutral good, with a good tendency to deviate a bit.
/b/ is /b/...
8chan itself seems to be some really weird version of true neutral.
Tumblr's interface is all kinds of terrible.
You can get the direct link by pointing at the top-right corner of a post, but only in the default-styled overview lists.
There's no visual indication this is possible before you find it via mouse-over.
Othewise you can click the "[x] notes" link and delete the [I]#comments[/I] part from the url.

This looks like a mix up. Do you mean anti-gamers and gamers?[/QUOTE]
Yes. I have been following but I am on the Gaming side. There's been a mix up and even after reading about it I am completely fucking confused on the two titles and group names because I am fundamentally retarded in distinguishing between two. If you, or anyone else, can spare twenty seconds in helping me realize what the two are in simple sentences of Anti-GG and GG, then I would appreciate it a lot.
This is not a joke, I am asking for your help.

This video in the op pretty much draws everything clearly.
So the comments on the ABC video just went from 6800 to 2400.
They must have purged all the marked as spam comments.
