Is it possible to confirm whether or not player passwords were compromised during the hacking? I had an account on another site with a similar (not same but still dumb) password (which have since been changed, randomized and put into a pw protector) that was hacked as well soon after the Great Hacking of 2020 thanks all |
The hacker did have access to the passwords. Which, is why we locked all accounts until passwords could be changed. Now, as to whether the hacker paid any attention to those passwords, no idea, other than they got on my account... No damage done however. Joe has set several security measures in place and done a Lot of code tweaking. So passwords should be much safer now! :) Honestly, the hacker was targeting this game and trying to mess it up. I doubt they were interested in players personal passwords/accounts. We are just being super safe, and well... Better safe than sorry. And we take the security of our players accounts seriously. Flash is a bit of a problem to make secure and this is a very old game that was not designed to be all that locked in safe. (The word was much nicer back in 2007 when the game was created.) But Joe has done a lot to improve the security. |
Hopefully this won't happen again. It only hurts players. |
