If you see me hating on Jurassic World, you'll know I've been compromised.

If I say that Clones was the worst of the prequels then I'm compromised.

[TheSeks]

Woah. OuterWorldVoice's account got hacked?

 

[strafer]

Okay. Changed.

Remember, you see me with a different avatar, i'm a goner.

 

[Shredderi]

Shit. This prompted me to change my pass but when I was opening my account registered email I noticed that it no longer worked. It's an older email account from my school days and it seems there has been a big database purge or change etc. so I can't access that email anymore. So if I were to change the account email, I assume I'd have to verify it from my old, now obsolete, email? If so I guess I'll just take my chances with how things are lol.

 

[Jafku]

This is concerning....

 

[Walter White Walker]

Better safe than sorry - updated password.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Whew, changed my password just in time.

I was scared for a moment since when it saves, it immediately logs you out. So be prepared to enter your new pw!

The Avengers is a fantastic movie.

Just remembered that the email I used to register on GAF is gone, which mod do I contact to change this?

Thanks for the head's up, OP.

I need to know this as well..

Stump is good about answering PM's like that. He did the same for me a few years ago.

 

[thefit]

If I post a bunch of racist shit I swear its not me. Scouts honor.

This is terrible and I just want to say that the real mac would never post something so heinous even when drunk.

GG, old friend

 

[neoism]

[Cymbal Head]

I refuse to change my password. Refuse, I say!

Edit: I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt.

PM an admin. The best a mod could do is just forward your request as they're unable to edit user account details.

Edit: You can update your e-mail address yourself, but you will need to PM an admin if you want it changed to, say, a Gmail address.

 

[brau]

changed my password too. Now i am going back through my posts to make sure all of them are really mine.

 

[LoveCake]

I think this does need some sort of investigation if there has been any accounts compromised, also members that have been effected or maybe, we need to know how to go about sorting it out, like a right to reply if there has been a ban because something was posted that was 'out of character' for example?

Only log-in here from home, so my IP should stay the same, however my ISP uses dynamic IP addresses for people.

Can you not just change it yourself, or does it send a email to the original email address where you have to click to confirm?

Also if you are an actual full member, do you still have to use a work or ISP provided email address?

[Nikodemos]

If you see some random-ass posts from my username, I probably got hacked.

I don't drunk-post.

And there's no way I would vote for Trump. I'm not even American.

 

[FyreWulff]

Mine was sort of guessable, simply hadn't changed it in a decade, and I don't use Joomla sites, to the best of my knowledge. Further, the "hacker" appears to be a random dude, rather than a Halo fan - he posted some racist garbage in the OT instead of doing an epic "barn leak" so it may simply be a dumb script kiddie with too much time on his hands.

your password was pancakesareawesome1776 all this time

 

[neoism]

Okay. Changed.

i love that pic of her wish it was 16:9 would make a great wallpaper

 

[kitch9]

I've just had a PM about getting my "faggot head curb stomped and getting my throat slit," from a user with 0 post history.

I'm assuming this is from that lol.

 

[JimJamJones]

I'm expecting something to happen with mine since I called attention to the doofus that's messing with stuff, lol.

 

[User1608]

Ay dios mio! Seriously though, thank you peeps. Just changed my password.

 

[CloudyTuba]

If you see me hating on Jurassic World, you'll know I've been compromised.

If I say that Clones was the worst of the prequels then I'm compromised.

With those kinds of opinions I already consider both of you compromised in ways that go beyond simple password antics!

I refuse to change my password. Refuse, I say!

I heard the voice in my head before I even fully realized the reference.

 

[adamsappel]

I tried changing my password after seeing this thread, then my account locked me out for a few minutes. Then I finally got back in and changed my password, but now I keep getting logged out of my account and have to re-log back in.

I'm scared, GAF. Hold me.

Same happened to me. PIA. Need a mod in here to clear things up.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Changed password just in case. I thought Jarmel's account simply had a password the guy forced and got, but if he actually knew it I'll assume it was compromised.

 

[friskykillface]

Brb changing my pw

Log in, then log back out manually, then check the box again to remember you and log back in

it's a vbb cookie bug

[internetwolf]

Changed my password so this racist tryhard can't get into my account.

 

[nintendork666]

Ty for the heads up.

 

[Thorgal]

SCABS ON THE FEET ARE GLORIOUS TO EAT !

TRY IT GAF ! THEY ARE DELICIOUS !

Spoiler

I am just the last meth bender , don't ban me plz .

 

[Lost Fragment]

Why does anyone thinking hacking an account and then posting inane shit to suicide said account is something worth doing? Even if you're just some internet loser who find enjoyment out of fucking with people this seems pretty inconsequential.

There are tons of people with no lives who obsess over silly shit of no real consequence because of said nolifeness, and there's definitely no shortage of people who hate GAF for one reason or the other.

 

[daveo42]

Thanks for the heads up. Just updated my password.

Quick question: Can you update your email address to one that is a public email address? Like a gmail address? My college email still works for now, but I'm just lucky that I set up auto forwarding on all emails sent to that address.

 

[True Savior]

I'm scared, GAF. Hold me.

It's a race between you and the hacker. And GAF is still deciding which one will enter. Just ask nicely.

 

[JaseC]

Can you not just change it yourself, or does it send a email to the original email address where you have to click to confirm?

I thought the latter, but I just changed mine as I'm in the process of moving away from my ISP address and the confirmation e-mail went to the newly-nominated address.

Also if you are an actual full member, do you still have to use a work or ISP provided email address?

If you're asking if you can switch to, say, a Gmail address yourself, then no:

The email address you specified is not suitable for registration at NeoGAF. This may be because it is recognised as a free e-mail address - as stated in the Terms of Service we can not accept registration from free e-mail accounts (such as Hotmail or Gmail). <snip>

 

[PeskyToaster]

I haven't changed my password so if I say anything racist it's not me.

Spoiler

Now's my chance

 

[Cipherr]

Gonna wait it out and not change my password.

If I say something about Anime that isn't insulting or condescending please send help.

 

[bobbychalkers]

I enjoyed Other M

Spoiler

not hacked

 

[Starfield]

how to tell if hacked or just abusive troll

 

[Magnet_Man]

I wonder if you guys could tell I was hacked...probably as he hacker would spell right and b3 coherent

There's only one way to be sure...

 

[LoveCake]

I thought the latter, but I just changed mine as I'm in the process of moving away from my ISP address and the confirmation e-mail went to the newly-nominated address.

Ok thanks, so you just put in your new email address & clicked save & then you had a confirmation link sent to the new email, but nothing was sent to the old/original email?

 

[SenorArdilla]

Script-kiddy? My password is 17 characters. I suppose I should change it just to be safe. 30 characters this time.

Don't suspect that they're brute-forcing it though. A possible vulnerability?

 

[Deleted member 1235]

But wouldn't the admin go out with an alert if there was a leak?

not if its only affecting people that use gaf password on other compromised sites. they wouldnt know
