    Yeah, unfortunate for those affected, still, at the end of the day what matters is that Plutonium failed to keep users information safe and also failed to inform users in a timely manner.

        I never understood the whole if you have my ip you can find where I stay crap. Like wow they know you live in such in such city. In my case it's like over 50miles of the city. Cause it doesn't give my specific town and even if it did my town is still huge not to mention if they could find all that info how are they gonna find me even if they did get down to a 1-2 mile radius of they don't have any real info. Other then a ip. Sure they could contact my service provider but they won't give that info out.

            It's a case by case thing, most people will not be at risk from their IP being leaked, though there are some that will be.

              OhTanoshi I live in a small city. And my IP is exactly in my city.

                xFD If you were baiting, then that's fine... I guess... It's a little redundant since people like me waste their time correcting you.

                I'm personally unaffected by this leak, so I couldn't care less. But falsely stating facts will only cause misinformation, which you're a party to.

                  Could someone explain to me why the average user should be worried about Email addresses and IP addresses being leaked? For the average user, i.e. not a public figure, there is no reason to be specifically targeted by any attack.

                  The other information is either already publicly available (Usernames, Registration dates, Last login dates) or only relevant to Plutonium services (User IDs). I'm not sure why anyone should care about these being leaked.

                  Not trying to discredit anyone worried about this leak, just trying to learn.

                    MrAmos123 What type of misinformation? Check the thread, it's filled with people not knowing what theyre talking about. Pluto got it right by just muting their discord until things have calmed

                      You say this.

                      It's not like its private information.

                      This is false.

                        You most likely don't have anything to worry about if you don't have a static IP.

                        If you do, still unlikely you have anything to worry about unless you use identifying information such as your full irl name on public domains like Discord or other social media that can be linked to your Plutonium account in some way.

                        Edit: You personally have a new account so aren't affected by the leak

                            This is kind of like saying "she was asking for it, look what she was wearing" type shit.

                            If you provide a service, you are absolutely expected to value your users information and work your hardest to ensure issues like this don't occur.

                            There are paid users/donators also involved in this breach.

                              guys if you are leaving plutonium i would recommend x labs because there you can play mw2, ghosts and advance warfare.

                              iw4x = modern warfare 2
                              iw6x = ghosts
                              s1x = advance warfare

                              and you dont need a account

                                  Mr. Android what’s even worse is that there are staff members on the team that are cheaters. Besides that, all the cheats that get to bypass plutonium. A staff member falsely said ā€œ98% of cheaters can’t even make it past the main menuā€. The idiot that wrote this is VERY incorrect. More than half the player base uses cheats in some way. Even staff members used cheats. If you guys can’t even detect a simple cheat then there’s no surprise it took over a YEAR for you guys to detect a data breach this serious but yet so easy to patch.

                                    I wouldn't say this will cause Plutonium to die but we the users have to be careful now.

                                    They had the duty to inform the users and failed to protect them.

                                    With such a breach, will we see it happen again? Staff members having files of information on users should not be a thing.
