Facebook passwords compromised.

[Proprioceptive]

It's legit... I just confirmed three of those for Amazon accounts.

first sony, then the cia site, now facebook. lulzsec cant be that stupid. hit a site with a few hundred million users, cause outrage, implement tighter controls on internet. gee, who would want to do something like that?

 

[illusion88]

This is all the more reason to use an alternate email account for registration on sites, keep your real one confidential.

This is all the more reason to use a different password for each website you register for. Using the same password for paypal as you do for gmail and facebook isn't all too smart. If one gets compromised, they all do.

I think they're getting some of the listed 62k from random sites. The txt is just a compilation. The release did not mention where they all came from or if they were the same place. But from what I read, /b/ was attacked/flooded, maybe that's where some of it came from.

 

[CZroe]

someone in my vent apparently transferred 400 euros using those passwords and emails..so yeah

It is your duty to report and turn that person in.

 

[BUTCH1]

Checked. I'm not in there.

It looks mostly like noob email addresses. So, I don't think they actually "hacked" anyone.

Checked for 5 minutes till my eyes went ah heck, too bad the aren't sorted.

 

[wirednuts]

This is part of why I enabled 2 factor auth for my Google account after the hacking of Sony.

Who knows how many accounts and passwords they really have, I've been looking to move to way more complex passwords too, but I am kinda lazy on that aspect.

almost every password i have looks like- BRf7lKy99kbDoWdsTKzE

20 characters, sometimes specials if the website allows it. i have a different password for every site. its all kept inside keepass, and all i have to remember is one 22 character master password, which isnt as hard as it seems. its not even made up of words, its just random patterns on the keyboard that i remember.

and for awhile i was even using the usb thumbdrive on my keychain as the other half of my master password. so the only way to get into my virtual safe was to insert that exact usb key and type in the password. i stop being that paranoid though, and just leave the composite key in my dropbox folder now.

Wow, [redacted] I [redacted] really dumb, Thanks..

FTFY. Who doesn't use CTRL+F daily in webpages and docs?

I didn't until about 15 minutes ago!, kinda hard to use a feature you don't know about..

Meh, you gave several posters, including myself, the priceless chance to feel superior to someone else on the internet.

We'd thank you, but that would be an unacceptable modification of our stance of dominance.

Schadenfreuder.

Nevertheless pretty neat, you guys (AT) saved Butch time on the internet till kingdom come.

You know, almost every toolbar that has ever had an Edit>Find or Edit>Search or Edit>Find in Page menu option has had "CTRL + F" listed right there next to the option you are looking for. Not only that, it's an OBVIOUS "why not?" feature, so you should have gone looking for it.

Menu bars aren't secret. Even when hidden to make room on your screen, they are there for you to use. You have no excuse unless you started using computers only after recent user interface designs started hiding them by default, partially due to netbook popularity with limited screen real-estate and partially to follow Microsoft's Windows Vista/Office 2007 "Ribbon" design. Everyone should know that you just press "ALT" if the option you want is in the hidden menu (the same key you needed to make menu selections without a mouse all along). Firefox only switched a matter of weeks ago. It's still there in Notepad, iTunes, etc.

You're like a kid on the short bus who can successfully count to three lording it over one who could only make it to two.

Let it go already, nobody's impressed.

 

[lxskllr]

I very seldom use ctrl F to look for anything. The only time I use it is for specific lists like that password file. I could probably count the times I've used search on both hands.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Whoopty fucking do...

So, someone is going to post something as me? Who the fuck cares.

Now your just acting like an ass IMO, we're all surrounded with interfaces and menus with everything nowadays and I'll bet there's a thing or 2 you don't know or haven't used either..

 

[zinfamous]

so people here talking about Amazon, Paypal sites and such--that is just taking the published data and randomly plugging into these accounts, right?

the actual attack was through Facebook, so if I don't have Facespace, I'm fine...for now?

yeah, I've been trying to find a KB shortcut for the back function in browsers, but for the life of me, can't find it listed, anywhere. I've been too ashamed to even ask.

I'm an ass, but at least I understand that there should be a way to jump to my own posts and replies to it in a page of 100 posts. If you know it should be there, that's all you need to be able to find it.

Hell, I'm pissed off that IE9 broke being able to page up and down when jumping around with CTRL + F. It makes it far less useful because you can't see what's under your search result without moving the scroll bar. I'm talking about a work PC, FWIW, that we had to roll back to IE8 due to alternatives not being allowed and gmail's blast email functions being inaccessible (IE9 compatibility problem).

So, what makes me unlike the kid who has Pi memorized to 100 places? I just think he needs to show more ambition if he calls himself a techie, posts on a tech forum, and hasn't explored a basic menu. Shame me for something I did wrong and I strive to correct it. Don't others respond the same way?

 

[Perknose]

I'm an ass . . .

but in case I haven't proved it to everyone yet, I'll beat my breast for several MORE paragraphs.

Yeah, people are just plundering accounts from the released data. The attack didn't seem to be at FB (according to wiki and Lulz coverage, see "On June 16" paragraph), I don't think - they didn't name where they got the list of accounts.

Backspace for back button in browsers, but it kinda gets clunky and doesn't work on some form and flash pages. Mouse button 4 default programmed on some logi mice works heaps better.

Sounds like it. People that have also got their paypal and Amazon accounts compromised apparently used the same email and password for those as facebook. Not smart.
