I hope this issue will be resolved. I hope this isn't a corrupted mods doing.

What happened that lead anyone to think this was anything other than user icons being changed by someone exploiting a vety confined and harmless vulnerability?

'Why' is still because it was mentioned and became an unconfirmed possibility. It is not impossible that a mod could be doing such, there's no way to confirm nor deny it. However, given that more people now are recognizing a pattern to what's going on and attributing it to another user (who seems to have been banned countless times before) and that a mod said a bug was the problem, it's further narrowed down.

Jesus Christ.

Guy,
I am asking you WHAT HAPPENED that brought ANY MODERATOR into the discussion as a suspect. I do not care about the rest of your bullshit.

If the session swapper or hacker or whatever is still changing profile pics, i call dibs on Magikarp!

And boy oh boy, i wake up in the morning and i get a furry Tom Fulp, this is the best day ever.

I'm a bit worried about a potential 'session cookie swapping' breach myself. Tom's got thing this weekend, and is likely in a hotel, using their wifi.... someone sniffing packets? I don't think admin is compromised, but Tom's account.... no, this looks beyond weird. If a select bunch of BBSers are affected as well, then something that hasn't been mentioned yet, is afoot!

This is maxing out my post limit.

When I messaged a mod appealing my earlier ban and informing them about what was happening, they said, and I quote, " there is a bug with the uploader atm that allows access to change other people's pics."

There was no specific instance that led to suspicion of a moderator as a suspect. For the reason that it could not be confirmed/denied and that people were starting to throw around ideas, I included it.

Ma1achi just divided by zero. We might lose our privileges to upload custom user icons if this keeps happening.

How do you know it was Ma1achi who did this?
And let's all admit that Tom has the best picture so far.

Well atleast I get cresselia. Wtf is up with this shit? I don't want to switch back to my other icon all the time.

Plus his own user icon change is more than enough. I know it's Ma1achi. He's the one doing it. Why else does the NG staff do whatever they can to keep him off of here? Obviously he's bad.

that name sounds familiar, he was a bbs poster right? I vaguely remember him is he like another mhermeiser/genderless-hooker?

Well it looks like yours has changed again. Mine just stayed the same, but that's for the better anyhow.

Maybe he picked you first because you were the only one online at the time.

No, there was a fair amount of people online, including myself.

Or he could've just picked someone at random.

Is there a way to ask?
*ahem*
Whoever's changing the icons, if you picked Decimating at random, change it to a grass type pokemon. If not, and it was purposeful, change it to Digglet.

Thank you.

Why do hackers have to get their sick kicks from messing with my shit?

I doubt he'll do it.

I know, i asked for the guy to give me a Magikarp pic and he did, what a nice hacker.

Looks like I got a new icon! Woohoo! Thanks friendly neighborhood hacker.

Heartbleed 2014

This whole thing has been interesting. Somehow, I haven't been affected.

Laughing pretty hard with this whole situation.

Ma1achi, hats off to you, you outdid yourself. Assuming it's you, which most likely is.

It's been about 11 hours since he started changing people's icons, i doubt he's still lurking.
