FJ unfucked everything, which was jolly good of him. Looks like dirty hackers again but FJ caught them with their pants down and booted them out before they could do any permanent damage. They might have stolen shit though. Looks like the compromise hit a lot of Dreamhost sites, but FJ's thinking is that it might be the PHPBB install. We'll take a look at upgrading it without fucking up the site. In the meantime, thank you for your patience, be aware that I posted the funniest thing you ever read but it got deleted in the hack and now I've forgotten it, and next time tell Berk please. Cheers.

Fab? lend Pants your mirror would you? and show him how it works.

'Sokay, FJ has one. We're going to poke it until it dies, then poke it some more until it lives again.

For a while I was convinced it was Joose but my Hexcells time is still there

Thanks, lords of 5punk.

Gentlemen, your passwords are compromised. That is all.

Thanks for the heads-up, changed.

After the last hax I changed my password on 5punk to something easy to remember but that I don't use on anything else at all. As long as my account doesn't start generating spam posts I am fine.

Yup, mine is an insecure one used for forums and other stuff of no real value.

Either way, since yesterday I've been signed up to overstock and American nutrition mailing lists, and generated 10+ spammy posts on tumblr. Emails informing me of this are what lead me to suspect password compromise.

I need to start using keepass

I need to change my password habits from:

password
P4s5w0Rd
$P4s5w0Rd$
!$P4s5w0Rd$!

Oh well, CorrectHorseBatteryStaple it is.

I may also take to site related email customisation for the sake of bot fuck-over-age.

Email.Address+5punk@gmail.com
Email.Address+Flickr@gmail.com

Should be enough to fuck any automation over without causing too much hassle.

For things like email, steam and the like I have unique, longass passwords made of total gibberish and stored in a password storage thing, itself protected by a longass password of the CorrectHorseBatteryStaple variety.

My 5punk account uses an email I only use to collect spam and a unique but easy to remember and completely rubbish password. Because then if they get access to my account I receive no additional spam or compromises of other things.

I only had one other site that used the same password, so no biggy for me. Both changed to be unique.

I use LastPass and it's brilliant. Their app (you need to pay for premium to use it, but it's so worth it) even integrates with Safari on my iPhone so I can log in to anything by just my fingerprint.

Quick and easy long, random passwords FTW.

I use 1Password, but its pretty much the same. Well worth getting one of these, either way.
