Anyone who has a GOM account that did not sign up via facebook or twitter had their password leaked. You likely have a GOM account, the question is how did you sign up. | ||

There appears to be zero security on the passwords as they were stored in plain text This is hardly surprising tbh, much much larger companies than GOM have plain text password for their websites. | ||

Dear Valued GOMTV.net users: We regretfully inform you that approximately at 2 AM KST, Aug.12th, there has been an attack against our web site, GOMTV.net. We have found that some of the user information from GOMTV.net has been compromised from the attack. We suspect that the following information might have been exposed: name, location (country), e-mail address, GOMTV.net nickname and password. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and concern caused by the intrusion. Since we use PayPal’s service to handle payments, we do not store nor have any payment related information on our site including your credit card numbers and bank account details. We strongly encourage you to change your GOMTV.net password and if you have been using the same password for other web sites, we suggest changing the passwords for those sites as well. Users who have signed up with Facebook or Twitter do not have to worry about changing their passwords as they did not have to enter separate passwords at the time of sign up. As soon as we discovered the sign of intrusion we have conducted a complete investigation into the incident and have also taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our network system in order to provide you with better protection of your personal information. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding and we pledge to work harder to bring you a better and greater service experience. If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to contact us at support@gomtv.net. Thank you. GOMTV.net | ||

This should probably be added to the OP just so a few less people freak out about it. | ||

This doesnt make any sense. 1) The GSL has had tons of amazing games, for a pretty low price. 2) Purchasing GSL premium ticket does not mean anything was stolen from you 3) How does not purchasing the premium ticket reward you now? | ||

No personal credit card/paypal/anything information is stored on their site. You could have bought every premium ticket ever nothing would happen. | ||
