I can not believe this atrocious mess has occured over the last 24 hours.

It is completely unforgivable that this website did not have the necessary measures and security software in place to prevent such an attack.

The owner of this website is totally accountable for this huge error of judgement, and is totally unacceptable. This is a large forum with thousands of members, how could you not put the appropriate measures in place?!

If my email account and other accounts are now hacked due to TiBB's absymal security, how can I receive compensation from the owner? This absymal hack can potentially cost me thousands of £.

This is totally unacceptable and you should be embarrased by your lack of judgement to not have the latest security in place. You have caused so much trouble for thousands of people on here and hassle.

Please answer my question: How do I receive compensation from the owner if need be?

[Brad.]

will you shut the fuuck up right now. The owner couldnt have prevented this as far as i am aware

[mado]

omg whats going on

[setanta]

Oh Gavin. Is your day incomplete if you have nothing to moan and groan about? Every post you create seems to have that sole purpose in mind. Very tiresome.

Other email accounts can only be hacked if you used the same password as the one you did here..so probably worth changing all of them if you want to be sure...

im interested why you think there might be some financial gain to be achieved from the security lapse..

[kisywisy]

you can't get compensation. it's up to you to change your passwords if they are the same as email accounts etc.

they closed the forum as soon as they were aware of the problem. when it was back up and running the told us what happened, to be aware and to change passwords. that's all they need to do

No, it could have been prevented.

All big websites have measures in place to prevent such attacks. Apart from TiBB.

The atatcks are inexcusable.

I agree they handled it well.

[MissKittyFantastico]

People will find a way to hack into something if they really want to, no matter how good the security.

Why do you think Microsoft et al are constantly having to bring out security updates?

They are constantly having to try and stay one step ahead of the assholes.

You don't see anybody else here complaining, get over yourself.

[Gavin]

Stop supporting the website owners and sucking up to them.

I am telling the truth which many people are thinking. All decent websites have measures in place to prevent such attacks.

gavin, if government systems can be hacked into with some of the best security in the world, then forums can be hacked also

you wouldn't have a chance claiming anything from the government, so you'll clutching at straws to think you'd get anything off tibb

I've had a lot more problems being hacked through being on Myspace than this forum going down for 24hours and the owners being very on the ball sorting it out!

All you need to do is change your passwords for crying out loud.

[paulie57]

If you put too much personal information on any site you run a risk and you are responsible for not being careful for what information you put on them. You should also make sure you have sufficient anti-virus etc software. TiBB have done well and you should be thankful they noticed it, have done something about it and advised us.:nono:

I'm obviouslly pissed off with the hackers.

But I definitely know that this sort of attack could have been prevented with better measures in place.

how about bebo?? or facebook?? both are far larger than tibb and have been the victim of hackers and viruses

do a little research

[setanta]

Don't humour this guy anymore people.... he's out to bicker with people and nothing more. Sure I very rarely see him contribute to other threads so lets not continue with this. TiBB acted quickly and were very good in notifying us and also clarifying the matter with us. I have no probs with them whatsoever.

[werd13]

why ae you still here if you think the sites security sucks

[*mazedsalv**]

Gavin mate, I dont think you will recieve compensation.:thumbs: Its the stupid hackers, the security is as high as possible, DS gets hacked too.

I thought by reading the topic title that it was a really serious issue.:hugesmile:

This is the internet it is run by everyone that takes part in it for good or bad. Nothing is 100% secure on the net.

You have to accept that to a degree really. The net is a double edged sword for your argument which is valid.

[SurferJay]

i didnt bother changing most of my passwords except email and a website that has my dads credit card details. apart from them whats the big deal?

Why dont you wait to see if something actually gets hacked before complaining?

Dude why are you on this site if it's so bad? put up or shut up!
It gets annoying all these people who slate this site all the time but continue to post hear,I just don't get it,it's your choice to be hear or not.
As for compensation you should be the 1 whose paying all us compensation for having to listen to your BS.

That's because you seem pretty uninformed about the whole thing. Some of the worlds largest sites have been, and will continued to be attacked. Twitter, Reddit, PirateBay are 3 off the top of my head that had the same thing done to them, and they are mutli-million dollar businesses with a dedicated team of security experts working full time (and with Reddit they didn't even encrypt their passwords), and if I searched I'm sure I could list many more.

The security things is a 2 way thing. Yes our security failed, but we put the site in immediate lockdown which was the best thing we could have done. We didn't bring the site back until we were confident it would be OK. Your side is making sure YOUR passwords are secure, hard to guess and not the same on multiple sites. You complain that people could get into your bank and it costs you money, but if you are banking online with passwords that are generic, and the same on all websites, then the blame is almost as much on you as it us.

Here's an article on how to chose a good password. http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=41970

[Brad.]

Spot on mark :thumbs:

[vladicus]

cant anyone ban godboy ?

[Shasown]

MD5 encryption of passwords is quite secure Gavin, however if someone has hacked the site and got all user names, their email addresses and their encrypted passwords, it will will take them a while to decrypt your password.

If you use the same password on multiple sites, you are asking for trouble.

Incidentally what are you so worried about them hacking into your email server for, you got emails on there from sites that a good christain(who is full of tolerance and forgiveness) shouldnt have? Mucky site memberships etc?

Before you start gobbing off, I think you should in fact thank Mark for some sage advic about your own online security as opposed to whining. Just remeber this regardless whats ecurity measures are put in force someone is capable of hacking it. An example of this would be people hacking Norad Defence Computer systems etc.

So do us all a favour if you have nothing constructive to add to the situation, keep your unwise whitterings to yourself.

[vladicus]

Shasown i think gavin just kicks off for the sake of it he seems kind of sad really

[Harry!]

No 1 . You are not sexy in any way please no.

No 2. The mods really try hard on here without everyone bickeing like parrots so please keep your opinions zipped.

No 3. I hope it will never happen again just cross fingers.

[vladicus]

you say you go to church and love god and that your church is so powerful but you want compensation for something you havent fecking paid for what kind of christian are you because you sound like an arsehole thats got nothing better to do with his life aprt from start crap with people behind your pc you sad loser get a life

[Shasown]

Oh incidentally gavin in answer to your question about who do you see for compensation. I dont think compensation is available for being stupid. however you could try speaking to the clerk of your local civil court.

This will have a three fold effect:

One. Give the staff at the clerks office the chance to meet you and realise even some computer users can be total dicks.

Two. Get you offline for a couple of hours and give us a break from you of the same duration.

Three. Have everyone on the forum ptsl at you as you complain on here how the clerk eventually threw you out of the office after first bursting out laughing at you, then explaining the situation to you, then asking you to leave without registering your complaint after you refused to listen to him as he explained your password is your responsibility, keep it secure and only use it on one site.

[Marc]

Ugh.. stop complaining and **** the forum if you that worried

[Chuckyegg]

Why has this stupid troll been allowed to troll this site for so long.

You have a duty to care for your own security. Of course, a clever person like you will have unique high quality passwords for each of your ap p lications, so don't worry your pretty little head.

[BBUK4LYFE]

Apparently this site wasn't up to date with the latest security software because of the type of forum software that they were using.

So it was easy to hack.

The hackers that did it, said it was bound to happen anyway because of that.

[BBUK4LYFE]

You don't see other forums like DS going under attack like this.
Forums get hacked all the time.

I've been a member on 3 boards that were hacked so far.

If you even go on that hacking site, they have several threads on forums, university sites etc. that they have hacked with in this month alone.

[Tom]

TiBB isn't a commercial site and only makes 1p a year, so unless you're willing to fund any extra security you'll just have to make do with what is here. You should change your passwords all the time anyway, and Facebook, the internets most popular website, gets hacked all the time.
