forum breach?

[pontifex]

I appreciate the notices at the top of the forums, but do you think you could cut down on the stories and provide more info on the notice?

So we had a forum breach. what happened? what was affected? should we be worried about anything?

We get 1 sentence about a breach and then a story thats a paragraph long and worthless.

Edit: I don't mind a funny comment, but when the comment is 3x as long as the actual notice, thats a bit much. 1 small sentence should be enough.

some new data would be nice, i am curious as to what was breached and how.

 

[ViRGE]

what happened?

We don't know

what was affected?

We don't know

should we be worried about anything?.

Probably

We're not the AT IT staff, so our knowledge of the matter is fairly limited.

 

[JSt0rm]

when you guys sent out that mass email asking for ebay user pass/ cc numbers/ social security bank account info and passwords- All that stuff is safe right? You didn't give that info to anyone?

 

[Gunbuster]

Seriously could you try to be more professional. This goofy post in "Notices" is a real turn off.

YOU ARE NOT 4CHAN.

 

[vexingv]

could user passwords have been compromised?

 

[minendo]

could user passwords have been compromised?

Yes.

So true.. I would like a more professional response over the stupid current message.

 

[vexingv]

Yes.

I'd imagine that password must be stored encrypted and thus useless w/o some decryption key? I'll probably change my password anyway...

 

[IlllI]

so basically the forum got invaded by canadians

lol, babies.

WHY CAN'T ANANDTECH ANNOUNCEMENTS BE MORE PROFESSIONAL?

:oints::

 

[Agentbolt]

Oops never mind

Agreed, it'll be better if the AT web staff make the notices than the volunteer admins. The web staff have been very consistent on making announcements more professional-like for over a decade.

Your sarcasm is very appreciated and on target

I'm just saying... some people act like this is a service that they are paying for or something. There is no need for professionalism, and if they want to inject a little humor in their announcements, or not give them at all, that's their prerogative on this PRIVATELY OWNED board.

Serious business, and all that.

 

[Gillbot]

true

Some of us did pay toward this forum back in the day, not that you would know. I think it is a valid concern that is posted in the correct forum. Hopefully the IT Staff can shed some light.

I sure did! And I didnt mind paying either. I wanted my 200 or 500 PM's dam it.

It's a message board, ffs.

I see what you did there. Its funny cause someone would pay a extremely small amount of money for better speed and more PM's on an internet message board they use frequently. What a bunch of stupid fucking nerds we are.....

It would be nice for a mod to moderate in here and ask the trolls to go to OT instead of harassing people with legitimate questions in the right forum.

When I log on I can get to all the forums but the sales forum. It opens up as if I wasnt loggd on, when I log on to it and try to post it goes back to the non membe mode, but if I hit one of the other forums from there it recognized me as Decoy and lets me on. I dont really see how it could be my computer since I can get on all of them but that one, is there anyone else having this problem?
