REQUESTING A STICKY

>Can't remember my username on there so I'm not sure if I have any accounts laying around sharing passwords
panic

whahappen?

Stop requesting sticky, you pieces of shit. No one gives a fuck about this and it is not dangerous. The accounts are not linked to your email or any other network so the """"hackers"""" should not have access to any of those. They only know your username and password. And then what? Nothing.

>>28603992
I hope/think my email and username are good. I probably used an unimportant email, and my username is irrelevant.

>>28604144
Some people use the same username/password combinations across sites.

>>28604144
If you use the same password and username combo as you do for other things it can still have an impact, which was the point of me making this.

>>28604185
theres almost no way to connect the usernames to your other ones unless youve advertised it

>>28604198
>If you use the same password and username combo as you do for other things

...then you're a fucking idiot. Like, absolutely braindead.

>>28604223
Let's say you use the username, I don't know, SuperSleepySnorlax1983 and used the password buttfuckers1 on showdown. On somewebsite.com, you also used the SuperSleepySnorlax1983/buttfuckers1 combination. Can you see where I'm going with this?

>>28604329
That's not a very good assumption to make. Many people do it for the sake of convenience and ease of memorization. While it's not at all a secure method, it's the easiest to remember, so it's what many people do.

>>28604132
PS got hacked by a 3rd world fag

>>28604339
>>28604339
How would the hacker even know you use somewebsite.com though? Its not like they have acess to that info

>>28604339
yep
that's probably why im not worried. my showdown username has nothing in common with anything else

>>28603992
Guys im freaking out. I used the same info for my youtube account and my youtube is linked to email and my email has my bank info. What do I do?

This confirms Zarel can't code

>>28604397
I think he's referring to more email, bank account type stuff, but even cases like mine you would only get 1 username/password combo and not know which is goes to or if they can go anywhere else.

>>28604397
Brute force

>>28604383
That image is pretty edgy, imagine how cucked you'd have to be to use an outdated 00's car decal meme to express your hatred for a 1st world country.

>>28604397
I think what he/she's trying to get at is that they can go to popular sites and test the username/pw combination. For this example, let's use Reddit. Person A uses "pokenub138" and "pass381938403" as his username/pw for both things. If that's tested, they gain access to his account.

It's really not a huge deal, but I thought I should let people know in case they used the same username/password combination for popular sites, as I would definitely want to be alerted of something like this.

>>28604424
It's too late, friend. Might as well post your social security number here while you're at it.

You just google the username and see what matches. That's how people dox you. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to create a trail with a tiny bit of information.

pfft, the only thing that comes up are my posts from Dragon's Dogma generals.

Is there any way to check which showdown username you used? I haven't touched the program in forever so I can't remember.

>>28604458
GUYS HELP! im serious right now. What do I do? I cant delete my mail. I need it

>>28604539
google chrome shows any password/username saved. that's how I found out

>>28604542
post all your bank account info here. don't worry, we'll keep it safe :^)

>>28604542
It's okay, Showdown DOES NOT USE YOUR EMAIL! Your Email is very, very likely safe.

>>28604542
If you're serious, change your password. We could help you more if you told us a little more like your mother's maiden name or what elementary school you first attended.

>>28604478
I set up 2 step security on my google

I swear I made a Showdown account in like 2012, but I can find nothing related to it in my email inbox or saved passwords so whatever

>>28604589
You guys should do the same

>>28604561
Actually it just got deleted the password/username combo. Anyone else have this happen?

What if I used the same password for my email but not the same username? Is there still a chance i may be fucked?

Let this thread be a lesson that it's very stupid to make multiple accounts under the same name using the same password. If you're going to use the same screen name on different sites, use very different passwords that can't be guessed. It sucks memorizing everything but your safety is what matters.

Thankfully I picked a PS combo that has nothing to do with any of my other UNs or passwords but I'll still take precautions now anyways.

>>28604645
I would change your PW just to be safe, but it's very unlikely. Showdown doesn't use your email anyways, so you're very likely safe.

>>28604561
I downloaded the program and only backed up my teams before reinstalling Windows. Username information isn't stored in those and I haven't touched the program since. Now I feel like a retard.

I managed to find a link to an old, old replay but I don't know how helpful that is currently.

>>28604645

Showdown likely doesn't have your email. It's not something you give them. He just has your username and password. And your IP address.

Generally it's pretty useless without the email.

>>28604397
>Google the username
>Find the website you're interested in using
>Brute force your way into their account

It's actually surprisingly easy to find other people online if they're very open about what sites they visit. That's why if you're an attention whore like me or you have the same username everywhere you have to change them all up.

Thankfully for me I don't have the same username there as in other websites nor do I play very often (and when I do I'm as polite as possible).

>>28604707
Im literally shitting myself. Wtf why me?!!

>>28604707
good when i google my username, doesn't matter how it's spelled no results or results involving random news articles come up.

>>28604748
Let it be a lesson like >>28604661 said. Seriously though, change all of your passwords if they're linked.

>>28604775

Mine's just my mostly abandoned youtube and some old forum accounts. None of which have the same password.

I'm gonna be okay.

Relax, there's a fuckton of people that play Showdown, so I highly doubt you were one of the users that pissed off the hacker. Ergo you're not probably in his hitlist.

Still, if you want to have all your passwords be different you could do like I do and have a Notepad file on your computer that has all the different passwords you use and for which site you use them.

>>28604775
unfortunately when I google my username I get about five pages of results with account links...

DISPOSABLE EMAILS
bitmessage.ch/roundcube/ -- good because you can send email and shit with it and the account is always around. You can also set aliases to make your email address something like [email protected] instead of [email protected]
eyepaste.com/ --- good because it doesn't get filtered by most sites, it works and it won't retardedly delete the disposable email address you use
auti.st -- only useful for quick stuff.

Seriously, according to the hacker's twitter, he has over 4 million accounts. The only reason something bad will happen is if you've done something bad enough for them to single you out from the other 4 million, or you're just really REALLY unlucky and they randomly picked your account out of a hat.

Nobody gives a single fuck about you, and that is definitely a good thing.

Yes but that's mostly just to see if someone's dumb enough to use the same password on showdown as they do on their banking.
No one's going to bother brute forcing mr joe johnson just because he happened to be on a list with 4 million other people. It'd need to be someone with something of value.

I honestly can't think of any other website that uses just a username and password to log in. Most use emails these days, and anything relevant will always be 2 step.

Is the hack just on the forum profiles or the the simulator profiles too, cuz ive never used the forums before

Dude has the ability to hack fucking NASA. He has the power to get his country to be free (whatever that means, I don't know what's going on in Western Sahara) and his people to be heard, at least a little bit.

But oh no, he has to waste it on hacking a Pokemon site because he's too much of a petty cunt that he lets his anti-Americanism blind him.

>some fuck up loser thinks he's sticking it to the man by disabling a pokemon browser game
????????

did he just get his ass handed to him on showdown too often or what?

>>28606875
Yes, look at what he said:

"ou played and messed with me for a signle internet game years ago, but I never forgot because being insulted by a cow isn't acceptable for me, you are fucking unpleasent and stupid..."

He played like shit and got BTFO.

Holy shit shouldn't Oak be dead?

Sooo i believe i once used pokemon showdown way back but dunno which account/password i used so i am kinda fucked if i ever entered an email with it.

Fucking shit. Thanks for the save.
So, are we doing anything with it? The fucker should learn his lesson.

>>28604827
This. Feels good to be safe. I only use my username on one other website and its also a game.

>>28606363
That's not true. You can't use rainbow tables with salted passwords. And they're using bcrypt which is much stronger than md5/sha1.

I can't tell if he just didn't get the insult, is too high on himself to notice it, or just ignored it with no fucks given.
Either way, love it.

Same

Fug I have too many passwords to change

>>28609912
At least that's one good thing about 4chan.
No need for fucking passwords.

Well, if Showdown has no encrypted password system, we can denounce them, right?

Are you telling me a kid is crying and hacked showodwn because they told him to git gud ? This is hillarious

>>28610062
Wonder what NASA did to piss him off. Not focussing on his favourite stars?

Wait showdown doesn't even use an email right ?
it just has a nane and a pw ?
what is anyone gonna do with lolrekxDD and password123

How the fuck did they get your email account from showdown?

>>28610411
Can't you sign into PSN just from typing in your account name?

>>28610422
pretty sure you need your email adrdress.

So it's just typical Sony incompetence?

Wew. That's a relief!

What an awful night to not have any of my passwords memorized. Hopefully I'm not relevant enough to be noticed by any hackers.

I think my runescape I haven't used since 2010 has the same password..?
That's about it, I guess I'm in reeeeaaal trouble.

Which youtubers will be fucked over by this potentially?

>>28610792
Doesn't that welcome back wolf pack guy do Showdown videos?

Why would you use the same password of other accounts for Showdown anyway?

>>28610950
I don't know, but some people do.

>>28609451
Oh i didnt know they used bcrypt, that would make it harder. As for the ranbow table, if he knew the public salt and was REALLY crazy he could generate a table using a preexting one and put the hash in it just for this attack.

underrated post

>>28611260
That's not how rainbow tables work. Generating a rainbow table for one salted password is the same as trying to brute force the password by trying every single possible combination of letters.

The only thing you can feasibly do with this is brute force each hash with a list of the most commonly used passwords (password, 123456, etc)

People should be talking about this. How is this not a sticky yet? Mods?

Gonna keep a close eye on my email thanks for the warning

Meanwhile, my Pokemon GL account is just fine. Battle Spot wins again, baby.

>>28611405
Yea, your right that it would take the same amount of time. Correct me if im wrong, but if he already had the salt, couldnt he make a table before all this started? He finds a backdoor, gets enough passwords to fugure out the salt, leaves. He then makes a table with the salt. He then gets the rest of the passwords through whatever backdoor he found to start with, shuts down showdown, and conducts the attack offline by matching hashed passwords in the table?

And yea, this would be A LOT of trouble for not much reward, and i doubt he did it looking at his twitter.

>>28610950
just for memorizations sake. All of my passwords have the same 4 numbers then something pertaining to the site i'm logging in to

Hi Japan-sensei

>>28609788
Lee Muhammad here
It wasn't an insult

shouldn't be a sticky tho?

Hello.
Thanks for the idea of googling your usernames, I will look for a script to automate the login process.
A lot of accounts had names related to this website, I'm quite surprised that you have a thread about me.

>>28604866
if you are from third world how are you using the internet

>>28614014
Obviously fake, not enough shitty spelling and nonsensical phrasing.

>>28614091
If you look at his Twitter it's pretty legible, not sure why he typed like that on the site.
Plus the Kebab only really cares about the bratty smogon fags, I bet he has more of a hitlist based on who was the most fucking obnoxious

>>28614014
Oh pls he got attention from NASA he would probably not be surprised some irrelevant Pokémon community is talking about what he did to one of their most used sites relating to Pokémon
Also at least fucking try when you pretend to be someone

>>28604707
My username was a dead Philosopher so he can have fun trying to find anything of mine lmaooooo

PSA: your accounts aren't going to get hacked. Pokemon Showdown doesn't have your email addresses, and all passwords are bcrypted, i.e. even if the database is hacked, the passwords are still unintelligible.

>>28614354
PSA: Your accounts can still get hacked if the site doesn't care where you log in from. Searching a username can bring up a lot of results. And this guy seems to at least think he has the passwords to 4m users. While the chances are slim, it's still possible.

>if he already had the salt, couldnt he make a table before all this started?
No, because there is a different salt for every password.

>>28614465
not fucked
showdown accounts aren't linked to emails, so if your username is different from elsewhere it's no problem

>>28603992
Why am I not seeing that on the screen?

>>28614568
Because Showdown's back up

>>28614460
This guy's bluffing. He has 4 million encrypted passwords, encrypted being the operative word. That said, it's probably a good idea to change all of your passwords if you have an account with a username similar to the Showdown one.

>>28614490
Ah, gotcha

>>28614634
Right, it's almost guaranteed that you're safe, but if your account has shared/similar usernames you should change the password. I only mentioned this as the Smogon twitter recommended changing passwords.
