Important: Security Breach (Please Read)

Thanks for letting us know, Mith.

Were they able to access information such as PayPal account information or no? I would assume not but would be good to have an official answer regarding that.

I think we should just start using onion routing for everyone to access MS. Obviously we would not be allowed to have login names.

Imagine how much fun trying to play a game would be!

I feel like anyone invasively attacking the site would probably be keen enough to take a number of precautions masking their IP.

You'd be surprised how often people forget to do the simple things.

Yeah but...

That's like a recording engineer going to track a band and forgetting to plug in the microphone.

Some things you just do out of habit.

Ehhh mafia trends towards attracting more folk on the upper end of the bell-curve. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if - even if they are a script kiddie - they wouldn't overlook covering their tracks.

Nevermind that double-negative sentence, you! It simply does not sound as good any other way.

Unless you sent account information (password and/or security questions) in a private message (which you shouldn't have been doing), you should be fine. All they would have been able to get from communication re: cards would be transaction IDs. I'm more concerned about addresses being exposed.

Still, it's good practice to change your passwords periodically (and more frequently the more critical the information/access is).

Good to know, thanks.

And they don't stop coming
