Just wanna let everyone know what happened: a couple of hours ago, someone accessed @Sui 's account and had mod permissions for approximately 5 minutes before being locked out by @LTJG_Pliskin . They used that time to deactivate my account and BearButthole's account, and change Sui's display name, lol.
Since I was streaming, I just shut the instance down entirely until I was done because I didn't know the extent of what had happened. But it took only a few minutes to shell in and reactivate my account, they never had any sort of database access or anything like that. I don't believe anyone has anything to worry about as far as their credentials being compromised, but if you want to change your password as a safety precaution, please feel free to do so! Stronger passwords are always a good idea (as @Sui learned tonight lol).
I mean, clearly it wasn't a permanent delete as both Claire and Bear were back pretty quickly. But we don't usually delete accounts, deactivating is sufficient (and can be undone easier by the Admin, which is why I asked LT to do that to mine). Deleting is usually reserved for pedos off the instance.
Apparently he was gonna do it anyway, he'd had enough of my shit, just happened to be when some sperg was flailing around on my account. Quite convenient really
I have a few ideas about who would go for me and/or Bear, I assume the "hacked by ethan ralph" shit was more down to the whole dramanigger instance narrative. As there'd be no reason to go after Bear before Claire, if it was just because she was talking about how much of a worthless obese faggot he is? Not sure. Maybe we should've given them more rope to hang themselves with lol.
Mostly just glad they didn't manage to do much of anything and we're now all safer from brute force attacks because of their attempt. So thanks failtroll, whoever the fuck you are.
Got her account, started to follow / post some tard shit, got the account banned for 37 years. And Chudbuds just went down at the moment I was telling her to change all her passwords as other things might be compromised as well.
That's genuinely fucked lol, I guess it's time for a new account while waiting for them to deal with the support ticket? Steam's not very customer friendly from experience.
It's interesting that they would not suspect the account being compromised. They should see that it's either brute-forced or PW is recently changed as well as it's accessed from different network than usual. Instead of warning about potential hack, they just ban the account. I guess they just don't give a fuck.
I assume they have all the steam security stuff set up so they don't have to pretend to care about all that? You can lock a steam account up pretty tightly.
Sure, but I believe most hacks are actually social engineering not network or digital security breach. Like 2 corporation / agency persons not recognizing, that they are both talking by email through a literal man-in-a-middle for half a year, agreeing to 100k deal through the guy and he switches up the account credentials in the last mail and they get sent to bookkeeping and money gets payed to random person in some African country. This one is from experience, btw.
