Apparently someone has managed to get a list of all filefront usernames and passwords. I don't think this applys to forums, but only the home site.

I PM'd it to you. I only tried two accounts and I was able to successfully log into them. I immediately logged out and made this post to alert the possibility of a security breach.

Any updates? Is it true? Is it both forums and network? Only network?

Keep us posted. We would like to know.

I tested it out and it seems it's only the main filefront site and none of the networked sites. So stalker.filefront.com, halflife.filefront.com, etc.. are not affected. But that's not to say the username/pw database hasn't been stolen from those sites. As far as I can see the ones I have only apply towards Video Game Downloads on FileFront and no other site or sub domain.

I'd like to see this as well, and forward it to the higher-ups. Could you also PM a copy to me?

Thanks for your help and honesty.

I saw mention of this at the IRC the other night. Some asshats came into #backup and started making threats to go with some "censored" screenshots. They were promptly kicked however.
