Security breach

[CJPR]

Please correct me if I am wrong but could all of this been avoided if the forum software was updated in the first place ?

Not accusing, just asking.

@Jaromanda

Next occurrence of you calling people morons and retards will get you permanently banned.

Capice?

I have to apologise to admin for sticking my beak in here about this national security breach. I'm sure my glib comments haven't helped allay the fears of the Chicken Little's on the forum

I've also made a lot of assumptions about the nature of the breach

Feel free to remove any posts that inaccurately address the nature of the breach ... last thing I want to do is spread more FUD

look up ... the sky is still where it should be

Must say I'm slightly disappointed with the FAQ too and understand the posts on this thread. If you get your users compromised, it is polite not only to tell them exactly what got stolen, but to also assure them that no passwords were stolen if that's the case. Right now, I can't be sure.

ps. Where do these Major Dude jaromandas come from?? I had a good laugh reading his arrogant and totally irrelevant posts. Sure, it's nice that there's internet and Winamp forum to fulfill the need for recognition, but it makes sensible forum threads an obscurity.

I never called anyone specifically a retarded moron

I merely pointed out that you'd have to be a retarded moron to use the same password in multiple places

That's Common Sense on the Internet 101

Si la chaussure s'adapte

P.S. I just checked http://forums.winamp.com/showgroups.php - you don't seem to be there, I'm just wondering, on whose authority are you making that unwarranted threat?

Hey

This is my thread where *I* asked for answers. You can't give me answers, just your best guess.

S something U or G something O

The same common sense Internet 101 that did not update the forum software ?


Not for nothing Jaromanda but you are very condecending towards some posters in this thread. Why dont you take some of your own advice and go enjoy your day. As you said it does not bother you about the breach. Seems like you are bothered that others have some concerns though. Makes you come across as a bit of a cock, just saying.

Hey

This is *my* thread where *I* asked for answers from the forum Administration. I didn't ask for some passing Antipodean to speculate.

Seriously, unless you are here in an official capacity with official answers and the title "Site Admin", "Admin" or "Moderator" please S.U. and G.O.

I refuse to let your banal antics derail my thread.

assuming it wasn't up to date ... remember, 1000's of chinese and russian teens are h4x0ring away as you type

it's called RETALIATION - you're not French, so you should know the meaning

Why dont you take some of your own advice and go enjoy your day.

DAMN!! I was hoping to come across as a WHOLE cock

Jaromanda, OUT

Your wish just came true. Headcheese and all....

[joebloggscity]

nothign is full proof, and I respect that Winamp has notified us all of the situation, hopefully in time before someone posts on here with our usernames and spams etc...

As for sending us spam emails? Already happens with others, just empty span bin regularly.

Hope you can sort out further protection in time.
