Its EOF , even shitposting has to happen in moments like this.
The best thing we can do is change our passwords and do not enter to the Luma3DS github repo

Mine got moved to EOF and @Costello told me when i notified him that it must have been something i did to get hacked

Oh, hah, I just changed the pass I use for this account, and checked what pass I used for it. Um, w/e lol, I don't care if this account gets hacked, and I have 0 personal info on this account.

I'm still scared, as a developer that is. So, I've changed my password, and changed some external ones. I'll keep my eye out.

Not sure why everyone is cursing and "scared." I can almost guarantee that this was just a simple bruteforce to get passwords and not an exploit. Similar to how users crack Netflix and Hulu accounts. The same thing happened to Se7enSins when some script kiddies got ahold of SentryMBA. This has an easy fix.

1. Change your password to something new. I recommend using this site
2. Enabling 2 factor authentication. This is what the staff team here uses so even if your password is compromised. No one can use your account unless they can get this second code(which expires after time) You can find this in your account settings.

If you do one or both of these you will be perfectly fine. Although I doubt most of us will have any issues anyway since the script kiddies are only interested in popular/powerful accounts.

i.e Hundshammer and staff members

i dont see links to 2fa here i never have.

i always keep mine random, i keep timestamps next to each site in a .txt so i know how old they are and when to change them

Its prebuilt into xenforo. An admin would have had to physically go into the ACP(admin control panel) and disable it..I really question things of someone did indeed do that

I hope this cunt, sitting at his keyboard (probably some 14 year old cunt) gets caught, maybe prosecuted.

but how to get to it? *-*

 

[Modder]

I rarely come on here anymore but I'd prefer it if any account I own isn't hacked, so I changed it. Thanks for the notice.

on the other note, github has 2fa so perhaps this is a good time for him/her to add it. (after recovering)

 

[Gimzie]

Someone mentioned visiting the Luma3DS repo puts you at risk?

 

[Alex4U]

WAIT, SO CHANGING THE PASSWORD doesn't HELP?
woah spoooooooky
also, i don't care if they hack my account, i don't have anything import--- shit, soniccloud nudes.
