I used an email I never use, and a password that you could consider as a "throwaway" password, meaning I only use it on sites I don't fully trust and don't really care about. But I do use this password pretty much everywhere and I've given it out to some friends already.

I really find it hard to believe that any company would still store personal information in plaintext. What a joke. Thanks for updating the community R1CH, you are the man!

Not encrypting passwords != luck at all This is stupidity.

Has this happened before? I had someone from south korea access my gmail a few months back when my GOMTV pass was the same as my email's (I tend to cycle my email along with newest passwords so I don't forget it). I made a post about it then in a thread about hacked gmail accounts here.

For those curious, this is how TL passwords are stored.
|
I guess this is a good reason to change my 3 years old blizzard pass XD
|
I just remembered that I changed my gom password to some obscure password I really never use, + it has a dummy e-mail. I generally don't use my dummy e-mail or different passwords. Wow, lucky.
|
Protip: never store your customers passwords in rich text files -_-;;
|
Glad I used a unique, easy-to-remember password for GOM. Sad to see some kids doing this.
|
is it just the most recent password? or were old ones also stored
|
O jeez...r1ch I don't understand why you don't just do ALL of the security for the world. At least then someone trustworthy would be in charge.

The difference between TL website and GOMTV is that TL isn't at all vunerable to SQL and i think is really well written(props to the ones that did the site) However GOM seems bad since its hacked
Someone says MD5 is good way,it is good if the passwords aren't whole words like:mother,sister,football,basketball because every MD5 cracking website already has their MD5's ,however if they are like mmm0007h333R pretty much the MD5 will never get cracked or will take months,years.Hackers dont like waiting XD
|
how fucking dumb can a service be, shit like this is unacceptable.
|
Has gomtv released any official statements yet?
|
Glad I use different passwords for all my accounts! Thanks for the heads up R1CH!
|
The funny thing is that there is nothing under "News" at GOM website?? Wtf is this R1CH knows that attack occured when GOM has no clue HIRE R1CH !
|
just changed my gomtv acc password.
|
Is there any way this can get posted on the front page?
I probably would have missed it were it not for Milkis's retweet.
|
Thanks for letting us know. And epic fail on GOMTV's part. Storing passwords in plain text AND not letting us know their site has been compromised.
