remove the drive and get one of these then you can navigate to the files and save them. It turn the dusk basically into a USB drive. But remember viruses spread so you should do it on another PC that u don't mind losing make sure you av and patches are upto date and make sure you scan the files before putting them back on your new pc.

You want them to post on a public forum the technical steps that they took to ensure this doesn't happen again?

I don't necessarily want a step-by-step, but I would like some assurance that our passwords are no longer being stored in plaintext at the very least.

If the passwords were able to be read in the first place then I'm thinking there were some security basics being ignored.

Anyhow, I was more or less curious as to specific exploits that may or may not have been used and that they are no longer vulnerable to the same exploits.

Hopefully they are well on their way to getting everything back operational and secured!

Merry Christmas all.
 
Don't think it was plaintext but some hashes are easier to crack than others. Also having crappy password pretty much guarantees it will be discovered.

This is actually phishing. We all can expect much of this and tons of spam too unfortunately.

If the e-mail address was ONLY used to sign up with GTAM, of course then it was only obtained from the hacked GTAM database. Look at how many people in this thread received the IDENTICAL e-mail, coincidence? I think not.

They even spammed banned accounts, how dare the hackers!

The hacker (Smail Max) posted a screen cap of the GTAM database on his facebook page, obviously the e-mail addresses of all the members were easy to harvest:

If you have good junkmail protection (gmail, etc.) you probably wouldn't have even seen it. The link in the e-mail is a hotlink to a completely different address, which means it'll always get flagged as spam.

The link in the e-mail: https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/homepage.html

Actually points to: <-- DO NOT CLICK.
