Which ones?

BBM suggest going here --> https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm to create a alpha-numeric string for a new password.

Its alright going there, but for one they are much longer than we are allowed and if you input one to be your password I get the Error "Incorrect password" when it is just copied and pasted from that site!!!

GAH! Saying that, as long as I don't click any links I'm fine. How did the other mods get hacked?

I meant if you take a section of one and make it 9 characters long (Which is allowed) THEN it gives you that "Incorrect password" error.

I'm sorry for my lack of explaining. But I see the Gauntlet as being an old medieval/Roman piece of armour, and the nunchucks being a modern weapon used by ninjas.

Thats just how I think of it OK.....Don't rip it out of me just because I think of something in a weird way.

Hey don't worry, I wasn't being too serious anyway ;)

Health report!

Well within my stay in America, I have only been here one week and I am already burned! Fucking hell they hurt like hell! I don't know how, I had SPF 30 on and I kept re-applying it! I think I'm just born to burn! I suspect 1st degree burns, then again, I may just be exaggerating! Haha. I'm staying out of the sun for a few days, so i will have more time to chat to you guys.

Oh that's bad, I've got burned several times in the past. But there should be some kind of ointment for you to use, so the burns go away. And of course, stay out of the Sun as you said.

Yes, I saw the thread by BBM. I'm still reading through it, but which mods lost their accounts? I'm just curious.

RohanTheBarbarian got his account banned for 30 days for being in a spam thread, among the countless number of users who got banned or something.

Oh that sucks! I hope he gets his account back soon.

Yeah I got some moisturiser to stop it from drying out and going sore. Its great stuff.

Same here. I'm getting kinda worried now. If they are stealing passwords from moderators.....Then what's next....the admins?!?!

Oh that sucks! I hope he gets his account back soon.

Same here. Freakin' hackers!

The mods that got phished this time were Dry-Ice and mightypotato.

I always get banned when the mods get hacked, it also sucks that the two notorious crews are working together to hack their way into Newgrounds.

I too got sun burned the day before yesterday. I'm naturally pale so I wanted to get a tan, the problem was that I overdid it and instead of getting a nice dark color, I became red like a tomato.
This kind of sucks because unless I keep on getting sun exposure, my skin will start peeling off.

Seriously? Of all people?

I remember when the former banned me for using "Found one", but now...

LOL

It's ok, fortunately the mighty power of Wade's e-penis was enough to undo the mass bannage fairly rapidly. I don't mind too much, it's my birthday and it's only a website, but it was annoying that it took me much longer to make a topic for Bahamut's birthday as I first ad to ask a mod what was up and then clarify that I could use an alt despite being banned on my main.

In serious note in the hacked MP's news post, the lowlife's planning to go after Jade next.

Someone should warn her, also that picture scarred me for life.

I'm on it, if she doesn't read my PM or go on NG, i'll just tell her on msn.

I believe that Jade is aware of the situation right now, also glad I was ona ban yesterday or I would have been another annoyed user with a 30 day pointless ban for for posting, luckily several users are working on the situation so if the general would just pull up their damn bridges and quit giving the damn DD attention then they might possibly stop, they'll continue the attacks until we stop giving them attention. =C

Um, yea... nasty shit there. :X

Yes I'm sure that all mods are aware of the situation already. And I think that the DD is not stupid enough to tell Jade they are going to steal her account. Probably they'll try to attack someone else. Also, someone's signature on the DD forum says:

' As his penis sunk into her throat, her mouth taking him in completely, Slash nearly blacked out from the pleasure of it.

"Oh my...Gardevoir, yes! I don't believe how good this feels..." '

I don't know, I just find it funny. There are also pictures of the mod lounge on that forum (the account that is logged in is Dry-Ice).

Nice, Wade rocks :D
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hey Thing, I did google the YLoD and I found a guide from someone who had repaired their PS3 and it works like new, and since mine is like 3 years old, I'm pretty sure the warranty is already void. So thanks for the tip and yes, you are right I am suffering from the YLoD, but it's so funny for like every one YLoD for PS3 owners, there's like 1,000+ RROD incidents for XBOX360 owners. roflmao

DD have no lives, it happens

One day they will fall, remember when one of their spammers post a death threat regarding Wade? If only we can find a photo of that user...

My Xbox got the RRoD a couple months back. I knew I was going to get it eventually, the RRoD was permanently repaired too late, so I was expecting it sooner or later. I thought I was going to be very upset when it happened, but I think it bothered my room mate more then me. I didn't even rush it in for repair. At least the whole process is free though, and Microsoft reimburses you for 1 month of Live. I don't touch my Xbox much anymore, all I play now is Ninja Gaiden. I expect that to change come November though if I have enough money lol.

Damn, every time i see you your level icon gets sexier. You're making me jealous here Idiot-Finder. Stop it >:(

What's depressing to me is that the DD isn't HACKING, they're PHISHING. Phishing relies upon the target making a mistake, and it's disheartening to see FOUR mods fall for one of the oldest tricks in the book, especially with a time gap in between each incident to make a saving throw and change their password/inform Wade.

DEFCON 1 remains in effect.

In other news, Porkchop is accepted into the Barracks by unanimous decision. Welcome aboard! First thing you should do is register at our forums. Sign up using your NG alias, and PM me the e-mail you'll be using to register so I can confirm it's actually you signing up there...gotta be careful in the wake of all these shenanigans.

No, actually the last two accounts were stolen using brute force attacks. Everything you need to know is on this thread (everyone should check it out, it's pretty important).

Well, shit. Everyone in the EGB better have a strong-ass password, and if not, get one right away. Mods seem to be the primary targets, but we're not exactly friends of the DD, ya know?

And for the love of Fulp, nobody should store their passwords on their browser!

Ooops. I'll change that now then! Jeez, this is really getting out of hand isn't it!

I had this opened to reply to four or so posts, left the room, came back and forgot what I was going to say. I doubt we're targets of any value, though changing your password and primary email can't hurt too much. I just reactivated my Facebook account so now it just feels like spring cleaning.

Though it is a bit off-putting to see the DD quoting people from the EGB/NGPD in their forum. Just in case...

I like pie.

First off i would like to say welcome the this fine establishment we have here and i hope to see you active around these parts.

Good god do we have any idea who is doing this so we can get this under control here? Is or is this not illegal, this has to be the ladder of the two. So i am taking time and looking over all of the forums of known spammers and even looking in to 4chans makeshift forums since they got shut down for similar things.

RohanTheBarbarian got his account banned for 30 days for being in a spam thread, among the countless number of users who got banned or something.

Thats just wrong... i hope he gets unbanned for what he did not do. I'm sure that that problem is fixed by now so sorry im a bit late. Maby since i have been less active i have been looked over or something so that could play to my advantage for now.

BBM suggest going here --> https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm to create a alpha-numeric string for a new password. It refreshes each time the page is accessed, so dont think i'm here to hax0r you guys. Remember, safety first is a must!

Oh don't worry about ol' buster i've went there for my new password since i heard about this, now it's using all the character it will allow me. now i will just hope for the best so i will not get hacked myself......if i do i will drop the peoples elbow on there asses.

I'd advise making sure that you change your e-mail accounts too. You dont want to be too careful with these guys on the loose.

I'm ahead of you there i am using a e-mail that is just garbage right now with no info at all on it... fake name and all that stuff so i hope that will make it just a little bit harder to hack my account... i pray it does not happen.

Can't The admins just pull the computers ip adress and contact the FBI over this matter? That a threat against wade thats going to say that he was going to kill him.. He did not seem to say that he was joking... lets pull another Sirtom.

I only have one alt thats using my old username... i really don't give two shits about it if it gets stolen or not since it's got no info of mine on there. Oh checked out the thread and thanks. Since i almost never visit the general i would never had seen it.

Well, shit. Everyone in the EGB better have a strong-ass password, and if not, get one right away. Mods seem to be the primary targets, but we're not exactly friends of the DD, ya know?

oh i'm allready on it, i had to write it down on a sheet of paper since now it's using different case's and symbols... i could never remember that. My usual password would be so easy to guss if you really tried, but that was in the past.

And for the love of Fulp, nobody should store their passwords on their browser!

I finally got into the habit of logging in every single time. When I first started off, I would always use that "save your password" feature to save less time (and I forgot my password, so it was a little awkward.) I guess it's for the best.

So the mod count is now up to 4,
Kayneslamdyke, Writersblock, Dry-ice, and Mighty-Potato.

Does anyone know if this is the work of phishing, or email hack?

It is the work of phising, and it is the work of some brute forcing too. I have seen the site that they use for phishing and its so obvious that its a hack, it isn't even funny.

Thats why you need a strong password and you don't enter your username or password into any other site apart from the newgrounds.com domain!

He is back again these two are the same one which got blammed before submitted without changes

Again, read this thread: --> Recent Account Security Issues. The whole story is explained there, and there's a lot of valuable information (in the whole thread, not only the opening post).

At 7/12/09 09:19 PM, SupraAddict wrote: Does anyone know if this is the work of phishing, or email hack?

A combination of the two factors - phishing (Don't go clicking any suspicious links, forward details of the culprits straight to the admins via PM), with as much detail as possible. If you can, get the link location (RIGHT CLICK followed by selecting "Copy Link Location") and include the details of this.

Against the brute force method, you need to have a very strong password (Numbers, letters, random capitals in the middle, no real words) and a secure email as well. (One that locks you out after a certain number of attempts to log in.

Wow, they got the mighty TATER?! Wow, didn't think he'd get fucked in the ass by the wrong end of a ping-pong paddle.

Regarding my password, the key is to pick something so simple, that NO ONE WOULD EVER THINK OF IT AT ALL EVER!!!!

Anyway, welcome to the Barracks Pork. I'm sure you'll do a fine job. Also, you're gonna want to look at page 1054 for our flash. I think you're gonna like it a lot Porkchop.

Granted he's a new member, but that doesn't mean we can't include him in on it, right?
