in #security8 years ago (edited)

Hey everyone, just noticed this tweet a minute ago and wanted to give everyone who has made an account there a quick warning for your passwords. They just tweeted this:

https://twitter.com/ethereumproject/status/810936498988154880

Security alert [12/19/2016]: http://Ethereum.org Forums Database Compromised

Who knows what exactly has happened yet, but better be safe than sorry.


EDIT - more info on a blogpost by ethereum: https://blog.ethereum.org/2016/12/19/security-alert-12192016-ethereum-org-forums-database-compromised/

One of the points says:

The attacker self-disclosed that they are the same person/persons who recently hacked Bo Shen.

Which I posted after it happened here: https://steemit.com/eth/@acidyo/in-case-anyone-was-wondering-what-s-happening-to-eth-and-augur

This might be something related to it, Edit: maybe the Twitter account is hacked?

Screenshot from a reddit thread 3 hours ago.


I'll keep this thread updated with more reliable information I might find related to it.
