SuperTramp Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Everyone, please read below and take necessary precautions. "Unfortunately, it was recently discovered that the Bitcoin Forum's serverwas compromised. It is currently believed that the attacker(s) *could* haveaccessed the database, but at this time it is unknown whether they actually didso. If they accessed the database, they would have had access to allpersonal messages, emails, and password hashes. To be safe, it isrecommended that all Bitcoin Forum users consider any password usedon the Bitcoin Forum in 2013 to be insecure: if you used thispassword on a different site, change it. When the Bitcoin Forumreturns, change your password.Passwords on the Bitcoin Forum are hashed with 7500 rounds ofsha256crypt. This is very strong. It may take years forreasonably-strong passwords to be cracked. Even so, it is best toassume that the attacker will be able to crack your passwords.The Bitcoin Forum will return within the next several days after afull investigation has been conducted and we are sure that thisproblem cannot recur.Check http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/ and #bitcoin on Freenode formore info as it develops.We apologize for the inconvenience."

CC66 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I find it interesting that this happens the same day or day after sr gets shut down finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdf Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I find it interesting that this happens the same day or day after sr gets shut down finally. I do remember speculating that the FBI supoena'd bitcointalk to gain access to DPR's accounts. If they have the legal authority to supoena a foreign VPN, then they likely have the power to supoena bitcointalk (and if they refused to talk about it, then that's a problem...)

necom Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I haven't even been back there since the site was dark for a while. I was in a bit of a routine for a while, checking various info about alts and digging for stuff, but the blackout snapped me of that habit. I am a bit relieved, to be honest, as that place can sometimes shred through my skin and cause burning sensations in my eye sockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
