Seriously if one you did this because GB stuff this was a step way to far over the line.


Still slightly funny though.

 

[internetwolf]

Do they really though? Really?

Sure, they need to operate on a higher level (regarding public image and security wise) this mishap will hopefully force them to step it up.

 

[Greddleok]

What's a rooster teeth?

 

[Enosh]

well deserved after their childish comments about jeff's review

just no

 

[oti]

YOU'VE BEEN JEFFED SON

 

[Bsigg12]

Welp, the 2015 War of Gaming Website's Fans has begun. Both sites have sizable communities so having some people in each community that would do stuff like this is almost expected. Sucks for anyone who's details got shared.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

What's a rooster teeth?

the makers of bad halo machinimas

 

[Soulflarz]

oh I don't mean you (and other account holders) deserve it, just saying Rooster Teeth deserves this.

Wait
You were serious?
RT does not deserve that.

 

[level1]

I feel bad for the users, but I think it is kinda some karmic backlash
In a perfect world, only the podcast crew would have been affected

If only karma was that petty

 

[Reg]

i heard 8.8million accounts were compromised

 

[Portugeezer]

If only karma was that petty

lmao

 

[Struct09]

Passwords were viewed?! How are they storing credentials?

well deserved after their childish comments about jeff's review

As much as I love Fallout 4, that bashing was dumb and uncalled for but peoples info being hacked is never deserved when they had nothing to do with it.

 

[Crono27]

idk why but this made me laugh too hard.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Man, those Jeff Gertsmann fans don't fuck around, do they?

All joking aside, it's a real fucked up situation...

Giant Bomb fans takes things to heart. Remember when people mention about their lack of enthusiasm at E3 and their fans went full defense mode on them.

 

[Askherserenity]

Passwords were viewed?! How are they storing credentials?

Scraps of paper, stuffed inside their Pip-Boys.

 

[OneUh8]

This made me chuckle.

 

[The Flash]

Wow, dude. All because they said something you disagreed with. Real mature.

 

[Mesoian]

well deserved after their childish comments about jeff's review

I mean...no.

 

[valkillmore]

the makers of bad halo machinimas

No they did the good ones.

 

[Anth0ny]

 

[ShutterMunster]

DAMN, JEFF SENT HIS INTERNET SICARIOS OUT WITH THE QUICKNESS!

 

[Plexirvones]

Guess Jeff has rank 2 Hacker perk.

 

[Zee-Row]

I wonder if the bombcast is going to reference any of this?

 

[TouchMyBox]

Don't be hard on them, hashing and salting passwords is really difficult and requires about twenty button presses on a keyboard for a web developer to implement.

 

[firebricks3]

Brent is still a threat.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

Plaintext passwords? Why?

This is why Keepass is a thing. It keeps your ass safe.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Plot twist it was actually Mega 64

Watch out, son.

 

[SigSig]

Every site, which stores user info in plaintext, deserves to be hacked tbh
Like, come on, learning how to properly store your users data takes like a few hours. It's such a weird thing to cheap out on.

 

[Demoskinos]

RT was shitty for saying those things but catching up innocent people in this is sort of fucked up.

 

[DeepEnigma]

That universe I tell ya, for every action, there is a reaction.

The plain text thing is just fucked up.

 

[5taquitos]

No. NO.

I really hope you are not serious.

/sarcasm?

Wow

Wow, dude. All because they said something you disagreed with. Real mature.

This is the same poster that tried to get an etsy page selling custom game carts taken down because it hurt Nintendo. Ignore everything this troll says.

 

[JayEH]

 

[Zombie James]

Passwords were viewed?! How are they storing credentials?

The wrong way.

 

[Cleve]

I wonder if the bombcast is going to reference any of this?

I wouldn't think so. I really don't think Jeff cares what they think of his review.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Plaintext?

They need to step their game up. I hope no one here is affected.

 

[Myggen]

I wonder if the bombcast is going to reference any of this?

They never really reference this kind of drama that they themselves are involved in, so I highly doubt it.

Also I hope they didn't store this shit in plaintext, would be a potential disaster if they did. Hope it's just a precaution.

 

[killroy87]

Thread is so god damned funny lol.

 

[GustyGardens]

Damnit, Gerstmann!

 

[Gonzalez]

 

[Myggen]

RT was shitty for saying those things but catching up innocent people in this is sort of fucked up.

You really think it's connected?

But yeah, I wouldn't laugh at something like this if it's really possible to access people's passwords. That's fucked for users.

 

[Nephtes]

So how would you rate Rooster Teeth's security?

Like... A 3?
Maybe a 70?

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Thread is so god damned funny lol.

Yeah, people's information being stolen is hilarious.

 

[ultratruman]

gg no re

 

[AColdDay]

I'm dead. Just bury me, this is too perfect.

All joking aside, even though I disagreed with RT with the whole Jeff situation I never want to see people deal with this.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

Passwords were "viewed"... so, they were storing passwords in plain text?

What will it take for websites to quit doing this?

 

[LongDongJunon]

Man, those Jeff Gertsmann fans don't fuck around, do they?

All joking aside, it's a real fucked up situation...

You joke but...

 

[Prototype Viktor]

why is that other threat still going anyway when it's about 3 people talking about 1 thing out of a company of 150 people

thanks for the heads up would have eventually seen it hours from now otherwise
