It is obvious by now that the admins here don't know what they're doing.

Did anyone question Mr. Dickinson at all ??

Perhaps the lack of news from A-Eon lead him to hack his own account, so his company could enter the headlines again!




Sorry Trevor couldn't help it

Yes, seems so.

We could reset passwords, but a lot of the member emails they used whenthey registed are outdated these days.

@The h4xor

you're pathetic. i realize calling people 'names' is against the TOS of this site, and certainly not in keeping with civilized manners in any case, but i hope the moderators will grant me some slack this one time.

seriously, what kind of deranged human being thinks grabbing passwords is either impressive or useful?!

So, does anyone have screengrabs of the fake postings? I'm just curious.

I believe the fraud posts should not be posted again since it was false info. No reason to drum it up again and it get posted elsewhere out of context.

Let the owners of this and other sites affected only keep it if they need it to track down who hacked Trevor's account.

But leave trash where it belongs, in the sewer.

That is why passwords should always be saved as MD5

Not without a hefty dose of random salt first they shouldn't. Unsalted md5 hashes are weak enough to be found by google search.

Also, a nice, slow, hash algorithm is much better for frustrating brute force determination.

Since a few days ago, i was trying to login into the site. I forgot the password and asked for a new one. It came but i still couldn't log in. Tried again... no chance. And again... still no chance. Left it alone for one or two days then i came back trying (tonight) and i still couldn't log in. Then i read this and i thought my account/pass was one of the unfortunate ones.

Then i remembered the 'refer' thing in the browser configuration. Went to check if it was activated and... it wasn't. That's why i couldn't log in here. All this time i thought i had it activated and it wasn't. Stupid me.

Well, i changed the password that was sent to me a few minutes ago and let's see if it holds, at least for now.

A post on Amigans have said that passwords have potentially been compromised at Amiga.org, AmigaWorld.net and Amigans.net.

actually i think cheesegrate was just trying to be humorous, specifically alluding the famous simpsons episode in which homer goes into space, tries to clean up the mess left by opening a bag of potato chips, crashes into an ant colony, and the live stream back to earth is misinterpreted by kent brockman as the beginning of horrible insectoid-alien invasion.



and i, for one, welcome our new insect overlords....

@cheesegrate

well done. a spot-on simpsons allusion is something we can all enjoy.

There is no hacker, AEON is no more.
The story that the AEON quitting is a hoax, is in fact a hoax.

P.S the utterings of this paranoid poster are not neccessarilly that of a sane person.
P.P.S. Who said that?
