    I'm sorry, but by passwords do they mean plaintext passwords, if so.. that's stupid. Otherwise, not much of a biggy.

    That's it, name and shame your admins... What an idiot. The owner should take responsibility for what has happened as it's there job to ensure admins passwords are secure and regularly changed rather than just tell them to without checking they have!

    I'm pretty sure one of their admins was the owner of that scam room quiz

    Haha I know exactly who this was, and to be fair anyone could have done this sooner, their security was terrible.

    That's the only forum I use a different password on anyway, I don't trust Devy as far as I could throw him... The amount of time his other fansite was closed and re-opened due to him making retro hotels was stupid. Plus the fact that he used to attempted to DOS any new fansites that opened was just childish. He should be banned from having his fansites made official, he's a threat to everyone.

    If passwords are plain text then they should remove all official status.

    Sites need to take user security as the most important thing.

    Our security is just the same as any other fansite. Also i've no clue who you are and past is past.

    We always make security our main priority, however like at any fansite user errors happen. Sadly one of our Admin's got ratted and that is something we cannot stop or control. We warn our staff about rats etc but mistakes happen. The same issue happened to Thishabbo once and many other fansites. This was not because of any exploit within our forum it was a simple user error. Their is not much more any forum can do to secure it because it's all down to the software that is used and what can be exploited.

    I don't even have to be working at Habbox to know that security here is much better and more professionally maintained than other fansites.

    You know exactly who I am if you think hard enough.

    Plus, if you do think hard enough you'll be able to know exactly who Ratted your admin.

    Also, as mentioned above, why were all the passwords saved in plain text rather than hash? What were you planning anyway?

    The passwords was not saved in plain text! All our passwords are hashed and i'll even double check. When a database is accessed people can decrypt the hash some how. The same happened to a few other fansites including Thishabbo. If you was to find the URL to the leaked database you would see that the passwords are not plain text.

    But like i said past is past!
