Neopets Security Breach

[Alister]

There's a Twitter thread that started up a few hours ago from an individual claiming to have found a significant breach in Neopets security:

I wasn't actively on Neo during any of the last security breaches. If anyone has tips on uhhhh what we should be doing during this time of turmoil I am all ears

Edit - lmao fuck me "send ticket thanks"

Well, most of the issues that can come from this could be prevented if TNT takes proper action in changing their site. We don't know who or how many people gained this sort of access. I guess we can only wait and see what happens from here.

Remember, this isn't the first time Neopets has had a breach in security. I've read about site breaches plenty of times over the last couple decades. Shit happens. Time to update my account password and PIN again.

The best part of all of it is that they asked him to open a ticket, instead of getting on top of it right away.

TNT is also going to be out of the office until after the New Year so it'll just be Tony telling him to fuck off until then

I spit out the tea. He must be running the entire web by himself. I can only imagine him as the Grinch.

Lost it in real life thinking about Tony P giving this guy the runaround

FWIW it sounds like they outsourced a bunch of stuff to India, so even if El Pickulsaur or whoever is still in a food coma, poor Chandrasekhar making 2c/hr in Mumbai is still on duty.

I'm somehow not at all surprised this is happening at the end of flash just before their unfinished 'new' site is suppose to go live.

And as Joe said, time to go update passwords and PINs.

TNT literally fucking wilding smh I cannot believe their incompetency when it comes to prioritization of actual serious issues. It seems every time they do something remotely good (filter update) there are still 50 shitty things they do. Hard to have any sustainable faith in them going into 2021 but I have a lifetime supply of clown makeup so leggoooo

Kudos to this guy for being a good person and not releasing shit and toppling the Neopets community on its head!

damn, thanks for the heads up.... this shit is getting old TNT

and that "submit a ticket" response.... do they even read comments????

[Buizel]

Honestly, they probably didn't read the comment since they're out of the office at the moment, right?

But still. Like others said, I would think security is the thing they'd work on the most with updating the site since there have been numerous breaches. A revamped site won't do them any good if people still can bypass everything and take stuff from other users...they really need to step up their game and I hope they address this promptly before the 4th when they are back in office (I think they come back on the 4th? Idk).
