+++ IMPORTANT: WEB SHOP SECURITY +++

Post by Mr Arkadin »

I just received the following e-mail:

GERMAN: Liebe Kunden, es hat einen Sicherheitsvorfall in unserem Web-Shop gegeben! Möglicherweise sind auch Passwörter abhandengekommen. Sollten Sie Ihr Passwort auch an anderer Stelle verwenden, ändern Sie es dort bitte! Der Web-Shop ist bis auf weiteres offline. Wir arbeiten an einer Lösung.

ENGLISH: Dear customers, there has been a security incident in our web shop! Passwords may also have been lost. If you use your password elsewhere, please change it there! The web shop is offline until further notice. We are working on a solution.

Kind regards / Freundliche Gruesse

Aaaarggghhh !
WTF !

S|C of all companies,- what do they think ?
Got the email too ...
Password,- I cannot remember I had to log in on S|C website for years.
Was it for the "specials",- p.ex. "NSA" and "4 in 1" bundles ?

And,- no chance to get a "key" actually ?

Well, I think the hackers will be disappointed. What are they gonna demand ? “A million bucks please or no one get their scope keys back”. 😮

What in the world did people want with my server, or with joomlashack.com, createdigitalmusic (blog) and so on? At least with a larger entity it makes some financial sense.

A million bucks or no one gets a scope 7.1 update! :o To quote a much used internet meme, “Ain’t nobody got time for that!”

Sonic Core's email clearly says "Passwords may also have been lost. If you use your password elsewhere, please change it there!"

That leeds me to think their customer database has been accessed by hackers. Our passwords from soniccore (ever used the shop, anyone?) are no longer secret, consider our passwords are compromised.

But of course, any Scope user is old enough to know basic internets 1o1 so nevers use the same password across different sites and services, right. Those few who don't know and re-use The Password elsewhere, need to change these passwords there without further delay!

I tremble in fear of others knowing my addiction to audio and hacking my pre paid credit card used to treat my 3rd Party Developer disease.
