So... my account got accessed 6 days ago

Posted by Evark - July 14th, 2009


These faggots had access to every piece of sensitive financial information I've ever had over the 6 most important years of my life and they don't touch any of it.

Nope, not one piece of sensitive information. All that they cared about was that they gain access to my online identity on this site in order to give the administrators and my fellow moderators somewhat of a headache. So, I don't know what kind of point they're trying to make with their efforts to 'bring NG to its knees' or whatever the fuck, but the reflection on them is blinding.

So, to bring whoever checks this page up to speed:
- My password was not easily guessed, it was a strong password containing alphanumerics including capital letters and not based on a common phrase.
- The cretins got my secondary email address (which also happens to be my MSN) because I've posted it here before.
---> The address had my private email as its secondary account
---> They correctly guessed the ancient security question attached
---> They correctly figured that the primary/secondary relationship was vice-versa for my private gmail account
---> Password recovery gets them access to my gmail
---> Password recovery gets them access to my NG account
---> "Havoc" wreaked.

Anyway, I'd like to apologize to all involved in the headache caused. Sure, it's not my fault, but I do bear the responsibility for my account's actions, regardless of circumstance. Sorry.

Lesson to learn here: don't gloss over the important of removing your ancient secondary email from your primary account when updating your online security.

No, not Evark! I admit, I wasn't your biggest fan at times, but you were an excellent mod and very to the point.
Fuck everything.

Another one? Wow.

This gotta be a joke.

FUCK THE DD.

Wow. Evark was one of the few I never expected.

What's worse is that I WAS expecting it, and thusly should've been able to prevent it.

hahahaha

everyone says they don't care but everyone's getting butthurt

i see this as a fucking lulzfest

GO GO GO GO

Fun's over.

get out, fatty

Ah, Evark was my favorite mod. But if his password really was yellow3, then he kinda deserves it.

Oh, rumors.

Oh wow, I'm a big faggot.

FU Evark was a good mod burn in hell

Fuck the DD

I wonder when Evark will get his account back...

Had to wait for Wade to get back from vacation. Mostly out of courtesy. I'm sure if I were willing to annoy the crap out of anybody and everybody who could help it could've been done sooner.

it doesn't matter, this account has had it's modship removed until further notice.

You speak with such authority, it's amusing.

I checked on the DD forums to see if they really did have your account and I found out they did. Your password was "yellow3" they said, I'd be really sorry if that actually was true.

oh well
I guess once they do this to all the mods there will be noone left to defend the bbs :(

My password was not 'yellow3'. That's retarded.

If it means anything to you, out of the 5 that got demodded because of this, you're the one I want re-modded the most.

Of course, it'd be great if all of them got their modship back, but something tells me that won't happen anytime soon. :(

It's ultimately up to Wade. I have been moderating the longest out of all the moderators whose accounts were compromised, though the ulterior edge to that blade is that I probably should've recognized the vulnerability before it was exploited.

I mean, I'd be happy to return. I think Wade's hesitation (if any... I don't actually know if he's opposed to me being remodded) would be whether an event like this has any likelihood of happening again. If he's enough faith that it won't, then there's no obstacle. I believe it's the same for the other moderators, though it looks like Dry-Ice and mighty potato don't even have their accounts back yet.

It's a shame this happened to you. I hope everything is alright!

Yea, it's fine, luckily. Could've been worse. I mean... barring a few untied loose ends, it's almost as if the whole event never occurred.

I love you

In regards to your joking threat if I'm not remodded: would you believe that I've actually heard a story whereby some chick did EXACTLY that? Threw it at her boyfriend, used and all. Firsthand account, mind you.

I've got a strong stomache, but that story was tough to hear.

hahahaha I had to think really hard, because I couldnt remember what I said, but now I do, and its more funny hahahahahaha

It hit 'em in the face, too.

If you are going to hack someone you might as well go all out. The fact that they didn't use your credit card for anything is incredibly stupid.

BTW: You were the best mod the forums ever had. It is a shame to see you without your aura.

Hope you get made a mod again
