    They got lucky the hacker only stole trivial data. No one really cares about IP addresses anymore. HOW it happened is more than concerning though.

      True, this is what actually matters

        xFD A lot of people still have static IP addresses. And it's not just a small niche group of peoples data, this is 1.3 million IPs, emails, and usernames.

            Invenios I know this is nowhere near the level of Plutonium's scale but i've owned Minecraft servers before. I'm the only person who ever even had access to anything even remotely personal. I have never given my staff anything more than that. And the fact Plutonium has given Staff this access is extremely stupid. Imagine one of the staff just decided they don't like someone and leak their IP. I wouldn't be shocked if that has happened before.

              Cigar Very true. This is awful and really embarrassing for something as big as Plutonium.
              There's nothing we can really do besides complain or help repair though.

                Cigar I genuinely believe IP addresses won't matter, except for specific targets.
                Email addresses though, will likely be sold for targeted marketing...

                  It really is odd for staff to have access to this information in such a manner, poor way of handling security.

                      Cigar I don't know any provider that still hands out static IP addresses to the common folk, maybe on request. IF you have a static IP you should know the risks anyway.

                        Cigar I have a static IP, I have been extremely careful about using a VPN and shit. But guess what? I trusted plutonium to not steal my information cause they are "trusted" and now my IP has finally been leaked. So that's fun. Anyone know any good Plutonium alternatives?

                            imsarahh Condolences. At the moment, there isn't a Plutonium alternative that I am aware of. However, I would suggest contacting your provider and try to inquire about dynamic IPs instead of your current static one. Also, changing your information and or deleting your account on the forums would be wise as well if you don't support/trust Plutonium anymore. (Highly suggest doing so.)

                              xFD Fixed, static addresses could be directly used to gather personal identification and or information.
                              You can most certainly leak this, given knowledge.

                              It's absolutely not public information.

                              Either you're being genuine in question, or you're being sarcastic and baiting. I can't tell.

                              Don't make absolute statements whilst not knowing much about a given topic. It's called naivety.

                                xFD An IP (if static) can be used to DDOS, leak city, and scare dumb people. Sure it's "public information" but it's not treated as such (unless you have a dynamic IP) I've been very careful about not letting sketchy websites have it (I have a browser VPN and a client VPN) and now that good streak is ruined due to plutonium's stupidity. Also anyone wanna mention how theres atleast 30 STAFF who have that information. 30.

                                  Even though I am Dynamic, I normally don't give a damn. If something changes in the future, I might reconsider, but for now, I'm deleting my account. However, 1.3M IPs is a considerable number. Larger YouTubers are affected by this, as well as smaller users. I know you notice of this two days ago, but it still doesn't improve Plutonium's lack of security. I appreciate everyone who took the time to read this.

                                    Cigar I don't manage my internet. That's my step dad's thing. He has an old router and he's modded it alot so i'm assuming he wants to keep it. Besides he doesn't care about "static ip's and dynamic ip's" or whatever.

                                      Yeah unfortunately static IP's can lead to people being de-anonymized.

                                      A general location, a little personal info gathered via social engineering or public domain and you can gather someone's info very easily. (Not super common but possible)

Using this service and expecting some sort of privacy or security is, sorry, stupid. if you have systems in place to hide your IP on the internet but disable it on plutonium, then congratulations, you created a vulnerability isaiah666 ImSarah
