On Saturday, October 3, between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM FST, a cracker broke into Furcadia and went in-game as a staffer. This user then broadcast usernames and passwords on the news channel. Fel posted a news article on the forum outlining Furc's official account of events and naming the users whose passwords were compromised.http://forums.furcadia.com/index.php?furcadia_session_id=12546-nqqw-rzr&showtopic=63072If your main or any of your alts is on that list, then follow the link to change your password.If your password on Furc is similar to any password you use anywhere else, it's time to change not just that password but your password practices as well. Use a different password for everything, because if your password on one site gets compromised and the attacker knows you have accounts elsewhere, he's going to try that same password elsewhere. Use a different password, and if you have to write them all down somewhere, use a small pad or small book, and guard it as closely as you guard your checkbook and cards.
ViewChangesOptionsRelatedEdit Cracking into Furcadia+discussion Well, that's really not many. But, I am glad that my Furcadia profile isn't on there! Wonder why someone would hack Furcadia... it's not like there is any money to be made by doing so. --tbohn (Not signed in).....Tue Oct 06 10:28:34 -0700 2009Actually, there is: alt and digo theft. Some people will pay real money (in both senses) for the right name or expensive items. All the more reason to use a strong password on sites you use, and to scramble the passwords of any sites you leave. --ArielMT.....Wed Oct 07 16:15:19 -0700 2009 Comment: My Name is:
