Neopets security breach

Yep they store zip codes, so worth changing imo, though I might be going a bit overkill it can never hurt! You want them to have as little accurate identifying info as possible.

Oh that's good to know, thank you for the heads up! I almost forgot the option to put that in was even there. No clue why I entered it on there in the first place when they clearly can't be trusted with our info, lmfao

What IF they manage to sell it, would that change a thing? They could keep the data and resell it again? Why is he asking 4 from one person while he could sell it for 1 to multiple people?
And if they sell it, there are more people with access??

Because most buyers would want exclusive access, the value drops significantly when a leak is shared. Looking at his standing on the website, I don't think he'd want to risk his rep by reselling after initial sale. But anything goes!

But what is the use of "exclusive access if he's not the only one with access? We know some people here got access too, it's not exclusive?

Imagine if more people decide to sell it for cheaper lmao

[Zapdos]

He's the only person we know of with the level of access he has (live access), although there's undoubtedly more. I guess we'll see if anyone steps forward and undercuts him lol

We made the news yay

knowing how bad TNT are with databases, I wouldn't be surprised if they lost months of data by running that drop table script

pleasantly surprised they actually commented on it on-site
(I didn't see this posted already so feel free to remove if it was!)

TBT when Tony P was being a hardass to that poor user who wanted their account back and that user had to go to law enforcement for stuff to prove their pixels (iirc)

This statement rings really hollow when this is the THIRD time this has happened. Like, they didn't learn the first OR second times, what tells us things will be any different this time? Thankfully my passwords on Neo are different from my other accounts because it was just expected for Neo to have *another* data breach sooner or later smh.

there's definitely at least a couple more, it's how item sellers managed to get hold of effectively impossible to get items for years

Wow didn't expect to read this today, but sadly, I'm not surprised. Guess it's time to change my password again. I'm shocked that they advised against changing passwords. You know what they say - changing your password everyday keeps the hackers at bay! Okay, that's a bit excessive, and no one probably says that, but you get the point haha!

Pretty suss how neo_truths near instantly reports a new db dump being sold on some random darkweb .onion site nobody has ever heard of.
