Not the worst thing in the world to have happen for me. The password I use is one i use most places that are not important to me. Any actions someone would take with that password would get reported to my email, which uses a unquie password with 2 step verification requiring my phone. For me I recognize that a forum is not fort knox nor should it be.
They got my ip? Dont care. Ips are not that big of a deal, its like someone getiing your zip code. If they were after ips they could just look at the history of any random wiki article and get dozens of them with no one the wiser, unlike the hassle of hacking a forum Got my password? Dont care. Its just the key to the door, you still dont know the alarm code. Got my username? Dont care. Its a very common name anyways and I have been using a new name recently anyways. Got my email address? Dont care. They still dont have the password to that or my phone. 1 of 3 is useless. Honestly you shouldnt be using the same password for a low security site such as a forum and a high security site site like your bank. Mustang vs a MRAP. You dont store your SSN, credit card #, real name, home address, mothers maiden name, money or anything else thats important here so its not the end of the word. |

I recall the 2005 Forum Great Crash when AnimeSuki literally lost about 12 months worth of registered user accounts, PMs, posts, etc. due to DDOS attacks, if I remember that was the case back then.
Now, we have this breach, and security got all compromised, but I do not blame AnimeSuki and their responsible staff. (meaning neither sarcasm nor pun). What I'm concerned right now is the IP address that I regularly use to login to the forums, that's the only issue I'm worried about. Since, I did use the same old password in nowhere else but to login to AnimeSuki for about ten years since becoming member; seriously, I'm going to miss that password. |

For the hacker who's doubtlessly reached cracking my old password by now, congratulations. They've just performed the equivalent of successfully pickpocketing me and finding out the wallet he took from me only contains lint, while my real wallet is safe.

I believe this hacker isn`t worth to talk about , because , with ip , and passwords you don`t have anything to do with esspecially when they come from a forum . Even so , he didn`t know how to hide his tracks , that announce i do have the impression i `ve seen a similar case on another forum before , it was a key for the hacker to acces the moderator/admin options , injecting some sort of weakness. But after the announce is erased , he hasn`t acces acces anymore .MD5 is a weakness almost every forum has.

Not for regular members. For the accounts where the forum does enforce password uniqueness within a time period, a list of previous hashes is kept but only long enough to cover that period.There is no evidence that the password history information was disclosed.

No. As far as we know the attack was to gain information not to directly compromise visitor's computers. I've found no evidence of attempts at malware sharing or injection, aside from the so-called "php kit" used in the attack itself of course, and that was focused on getting into the site and not your computer. |
