jmaxxz Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Anyone who thinks this was a big deal or feels violated should get keepass. If you had been using it to begin with this would not have been a big deal at all. Stop wining! The hak 5 team has been awesome in there handling of this. http://keepass.info/download.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdoublejj Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 well it is a site called hak5 and it is about hacks and mods so it was kinda asking for it but, that sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youbecha Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I don't know why people here are upset at the owners. It is a big target for those with no lives. I appreciate the quick communication. I wonder if the other 84 websites warned their users? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaser48 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 It's amazing how some people post without reading previous posts. They get so Pisst that this could happen that they just have to post their two cents. (wait why am i writing this your not going to read it) Come on I know this is a fairly diverse crowd but look for the authoritative posters that will be able to give the most accurate info. Especially on a matter pertaining to site/forum security. Do as the email encourages change your password and adjust passwords on other sites. This is the normal info you would be getting if your financial info was stolen or security breached. they are doing the responsible thing. Matt, just wondering did you contact any law enforcement regarding the virtual break-in? or planning on doing so later with evidence?

BlackWidower Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Well that explains why my Yahoo! account alerted me that my it was hacked (they said they knew because of "suspicious activity") and why my name on Yahoo! profiles was changed to "Anika Shaffer". Good thing I don't use that account often. Wonder what else was hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobLoos Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 might be a bit.. "morbid", but this would make a good episode for hak5. "recovering from a hack", finding out what went wrong, fixing it, getting things back up, .... Good job & my hat goes off to you mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigHB Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I'd like to see an episode showing the forensics and recovery related to this incident. Good real world stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkNinja Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 That would be interesting, a show on recovering from a hack and the forensics behind finding who did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavagolemking Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 This was my least valuable password, which was only used at places of low importance, but it has been changed. I think it was very responsible to inform everybody of the breach, and I want to commend the administrators here for taking that route of action.

7aW0lf Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi guys, Just wanted to say thanks for the great job of getting this up and running again and the heads up to change passwords just in case. Now that you are hardening this could you please add ssl to the login page (at least)? I hate when my credentials go in clear text over the internet. It would also be brilliant to have ssl all over hak5.org but please at a minimum add it to the login page. Thanks! P.S. The point of this is that yes, we changed the passwords but they still travel in clear text over the internet .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USBHacker Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Wait, I thought you guys were meant to be security experts? Unless they're a sponsor? In which case, put a disclaimer within your next advert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmdsync Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Matt and all that assisted, We are all human. Thanks for the hard work getting everything back online. Also, thanks for letting us know what happened, your remediation efforts, and recommendations. When everyone stops being pissy and sarcastic, maybe they will remember to check their systems, and when it DOES happen to them, maybe they will remember the way you guys handled this. Keep up the great work! And Matt, Sorry for your loss... and for having to put up with shit like this not long after your return. You handled it well. cmdsync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sc00bz Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm glad my passwords are all different and have a key space of 2^74.82 except a few like my bank and myspace. They have password length limits of 8 and 10 respectively. If I used myspace I might care, last logged in 11/8/2008 :). Ohh and a few web sites I use frequently but they're all at least 2^46, hmm maybe I should fix those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
