TSR: In Ur Accounts, Deletin Ur Stuffs!

[dietofworms]

Darqstar--no, they haven't.  I've logged in almost every day and there's been no discussion about security breaches or advice to change passwords.  It's all business as usual.

Secondly, the fact that it affected subscriber accounts. Why were only these accounts affected? Why were they so easy to breach? Does that mean all admin staff have access to subscriber account passwords, and other details? Why were subscribers not told that their details may have been yoinked? Again, shows that subscriber info is far from safe with TSR.

It's a lose-lose situation for subscribers. If their account info hasn't been hacked by an outside source, they'll still have their privacy and security compromised by T$R, who attaches spyware to their pay-files.
It is wise for Delphy to examine all sides of the issue. The accuser is the one who is guilty if the person they accused is innocent, i.e. if Delphy pointed the finger at T$R and it turns out that it wasn't them, that would look really really bad and give T$R bashing ammunition.

The ip's used breaking into Sinthe's account and hacking Simsecret.


The same IP is banned from Naturalsims because it is causing trouble as Atwa.

The email in the second image is from Thomas's wife. Atwa may have been a bitch and used it on purpose.

It is also known from Pescado that the screenshot from Sinthe contains an ip Thomas has used in the past.

Well, lookie there. We got the same browser string, and one of these IPs is, surprise surprise, Thomas himself dating back to olden times. We can clearly see our h4x0r wannabe trying, and failing, at using proxycondoms, probably because noob how-tos don't cover how to configure Furryfox, and as a result, BUSTED.

Both ip's in Sinthe's image have been tracked back as being used in the Proxy Service Thomas has aquired. Thomas has been seen using one of them in the past. The other one was used by Atwa at NaturalSims.

This in relation to the ip's that ruined BuggyBooz'z account: They are from the same service and the same range, and looking at browsers used and the settings, are from the same person.



So - you can definately say that yes - Thomas is responsible. He's is either an enabler or he did it himself.

I am no longer a member, but we have enough spies/people who still have accounts there.  Can anyone verify if TSR has ever asked them to change their password, or put up any type of notice/warning/suggestion to change their password in the last few months?

Nope.

[dstar]

I have a current paid  account and have had my account for nearly a year- TSR " claims" this breach occurred three months ago- I have never received a notice from either TSR or Paypal telling me that TSR had been hacked and had a security breach.

 There were no warnings in forum posts or site issues for subscribers to change their passwords for TSR and no TSR user that I am aware of has received a PM or guestbook msg from Admin telling us to change our info.

Again, there has been no notice that I am aware of - of course all complaints about the new mal-ware, porno advertising V7 of TSR are quickly booted into the site issues forum and " lost" so I don't know if others were notified of any security breaches. Certainly Darqstar was not informed as per the post  and other former FA's and SA's who have posted at GOS and other forums were not told (e.g. Aikea Guinea).


Logic would deduce that this " security breach" is just an excuse to try and shift the blame to Buggy, or Delphy and HP because of  the recent server crash or whatever sorry reason TSR will think up.

[Anouk]

I seriously doubt there ever was a security breach besides the one in Thomas's head.

[siberiansunset]

And I think it's funny how they STILL haven't mentioned any warning to its members about their "security breach." I was very appreciative when I logged onto MTS2 and saw the change your password post along with a warning about info being attained...

So. Tsr. Why haven't you?...

I seriously doubt there ever was a security breach besides the one in Thomas's head.

That seems to be a valid reason why they haven't warned their members...

[dstar]

I seriously doubt there ever was a security breach besides the one in Thomas's head.

I cannot say it- ohhh yes I can - That security breach is big enough to fit the state of Texas through.

Also, adding to the list of WTF questions, why would a hacker change Buggy's policy?  What would a hacker, who is not connected to TSR or the gaming community, gain from that and why would they even have an interest in changing her policy? Why 'yes to paysites and anything you want' if you were a mere hacker and not aware of the paysite issues and Buggys recent problem with a paysite?

[Anouk]

It's been proven that the users of these ip's have been hacking - just NOT tsr. lol

[neo-patriot]

I wish I had you guys years ago when I was in the community trenches trying to prove sub prime lending was a scam and would collapse the economy. Organizin'--ur doin it rite!

I have a free account at TSR. I don't know what it can be used for but I don't use it for anything but to scroll through FA/SA creations and see what I want from the booty. Nobody knows me because I don't create or talk to anyone and the SN is different. Just putting that out there in case I can help because you guys are giving me the "power to the people" bug again.

Very awesome point! How convenient this hacker even knows the dramaz between TSR and BB, and seemingly knows about the great paysite debates. Ah, could this random, unassociated haxor really be doing "pro-tsr/paysite" stuff unawares...

[raebchen]

Shouldn't people that still subscribe to TSR complain to paypal and their credit card companies? I know, this was discussed when they were sharing information, but now that they officially claim there is a  breach and they don't inform users, shouldn't that warrant a flood of complains once again??

[dietofworms]

Absolutely, Raebchen.  And in addition I think we should ask Thomas to 'splain this "security breach." Has anyone tried to post in the TSR forum about this? I'm dying to read the non-response.

[Anouk]

You will be supporting their lies, though.
