What.CD database compromised

[psxcite]

Seems hackers got the What.CD user database and they are sending fake RIAA emails to all the users. Must have happened during the SQL injection hack.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear registered user of the site What.cd,

We have recently been investigating the activities of the users of the
site http://www.what.cd/ and we have found that this site exists for the
sole purpose of music piracy.

Pirating music is a criminal offence and we believe it should be obvious
to you that the results outweigh the benefits - hard working artists
won't be rewarded for their work and will stop producing music,
ultimately leading to a severely reduced selection of music both in the
shops and for download.

The RIAA had hoped that the disabling by the police of the large illegal
music site, Oink.cd, would stop a lot of people from engaging in piracy,
as they don't want to be seen as criminals. However, this appears to
not be the case, as two large new sites have sprung up in its place.

This email is the final warning to all of you who were members of
Oink.cd and are current members of What.cd. If we find you to be
committing any more criminal acts of piracy then we will have to press
charges against you, as representatives of the major record companies of
America.

Yours Faithfully,

The RIAA

Oh you silly script kiddies. Get a life.

FYI

Consider your passwords disclosed.
The attacker probably has a copy of password hashes and with a bit of effort can result in cracking of your password.

Change your passwords elsewhere!

Luckily for me, I use a different password on everysite. Keep in mind, even if they don't crack the PW, they can still use it so - CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS.

LOL I knew that we shouldn't trust new sites...

[rfbgb]

thanks for the info....password change in every important site

[jam2k]

Yep, that was an ugly fuck up from the Admins.

I hope they'll fix all their holes asap.

[rfbgb]

yes....but the pass already in the hackers hands :(

[jam2k]

That's why you *must* use totally different passwords in every site.

[rfbgb]

already changed

I got that email this morning. I was pretty freaked out for about five minutes.

Please sir, don't just spam away like this. At least make a funny or some kind of real worthwhile statement.


@shenjq98 - this is an old thread bumped by a newbie spammer. Wish I had a spammer hammer!
