Announcements - Potential User Data Breach - Forum

Any half-decent hashing algorithm won't be easily cracked, especially since the db was salted. If you have a unique password that's NOT in a rainbow table, you should be fine, unless GGG stores passwords in plaintext, which they don't. Password shouldn't be in a rainbow table if it's salted though.	Posted by xaitv on Mar 28, 2017, 4:57:13 PM Quote this Post
I Really appreciate the timely manner in which you have informed us. Thank You. This type of attack is an unfortunate side effect of game company success. You are winning to much and drawing the attentions of more high tech criminals.	Posted by minezeye on Mar 28, 2017, 4:58:12 PM Quote this Post
It was clearly just Greust trying to learn if we kill him in Act VII or not, should give the NPC a break.	Posted by Doomgull on Mar 28, 2017, 4:58:31 PM Quote this Post

ZiggyD is the Labyrinth of streamers, some like it, some dont, but GGG will make sure to push it down ur throat to make you like it	Posted by Sexcalibure on Mar 28, 2017, 5:00:05 PM On Probation Quote this Post
How do I create a new password? Select the forgot password link or email support?	Posted by IchiMorghulis on Mar 28, 2017, 5:00:37 PM Quote this Post
How about accounts established through Steam? I don't know how that access works. Could any of that data be compromised?	Posted by Terzian on Mar 28, 2017, 5:01:33 PM Quote this Post
EDIT - Never mind. I see previous comments now Presumably this wouldn't effect Steam connected accounts even if the Password database was hit correct? Last edited by Bazkur98 on Mar 28, 2017, 5:25:32 PM	Posted by Bazkur98 on Mar 28, 2017, 5:01:48 PM Quote this Post
Steam accounts are safe [read previous comments] Anyway, quite responsible and transparent statement "War's over, soldier. You just don't know it yet. Everybody lost."	Posted by Nishrek on Mar 28, 2017, 5:02:48 PM Quote this Post
Can someone explain potentially why the attacker chose and attacked the GGG network?	Posted by TrichocereusSP on Mar 28, 2017, 5:06:30 PM Quote this Post
