Neopets security breach

[Chaos]

Trying to think which (if any) sites share my neo password and it's quite annoying bc I'm sure I'll eventually think of some site that I barely use that turns out to be important too late or something

We made the news yay

Time for the chorus of people who left years ago being like "Wait, Neopets is still alive?"

Happens every time the site makes the news in some way.

Wtf, of course the one day I'm afk most the day I miss all the fun. Finally caught up on this thread. Disappointed but not surprised! Now to update all my passwords, yaaaay




Does this mean that we should change the zip code on our account too, on the section where we edit our userlookup, or does that not make a difference? I never really thought that mattered, and that they tracked your location through your IP address.

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.

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

'While neo_truths has had access to the Neopets database for some time, they told BleepingComputer that they were not involved in this recent breach and believes the threat actors gained access using a flaw unrelated to Neopets code.'

Well there you go.

"A Reddit user named neo_truths told BleepingComputer that they have had "read" access to the database for at least a year after finding exploits in the site's leaked source code."

Haven't touched Neo since the NFT announcement but was just informed of this...I'm baffled but also not surprised this happened (again) despite TNT knowing about someone having access MONTHS in advance. I'm most worried for people's credit card info since it seems to be dubious if it's acquired or not. With how Neo is held together by paperclips I wouldn't be surprised again if people's CC info got out.

It somehow not surprising to me that n_t is using this to get more attention and trying to be the one in the knows that tell everyone else what happens.
Seriously how can people even trust them
