Notification of Plutonium Forum Databreach - September 2021
-
CoinFlipper Leaks like these are how people get added to mass spam lists, it isn't just this breach to worry about it's the linking of multiple data breaches together to form a profile of you as an individual.
Granted, being in a leak sucks and having the information at that time leaked may not seem like a big deal.
But, imagine malicious actors using multiple pieces of each data breach to build up a portfolio as you and then take your identity?
It's unlikely, but not impossible.

imsarahh Just call up your ISP and tell them you need a new IP. Think of some bullshit reason to let them change it and BOOM, you're done and set!
-
this is my last post. Cya guys its been fun
-
xFD okay sry
-
Most ISP's should be able to use your IP being leaked as a valid reason to change it.
-
It is sad to hear it took a whole year to notice this breach, but however it is good to hear it was a breach of a user and not the system itself with the breach only containing semi important PII but nothing that could ruin an individual. Hopefully this is the last and only data breach we hear of come from Plutonium.

imsarahh Have at it sarah, the staff team is just relaying the info im sure he doesnt wanna be the one to listen to everyones problems
-
Mr. Android Everyone's like "Unacceptable!" "You should be ashamed!"
Meanwhile, I don't even know what this means.
-
ChimpVEVO Private information was stolen and is being/was sold online after a Plutonium staffs iCloud was breached by a random person.

For everyone that thinks deleteing your account and using a different client would be the best thing to do, It isn't. The best thing to do now is: Change your password, Make a new email to keep away from spam, call your isp and ask for a ip change. The Pluto team found the attack, and that's what matters, they will learn from this mistake and are putting new security measures in place, lots of other clients would not even try to add new security measures let alone let you know what happened. It took alot for them to even notify the community but it was the right thing to do.
-
glad i could at least alert you guys - take it under your wing and learn from it!
-
So does that mean we're finally having an offline option ? (I mean lan-only with no internet and so no account required)
-
leobipbop that has been an option for a long time. Just have to add -lan to your launch options when launching from the bootstrapper, instead of the launcher, for both the client and server.
-
well this kinda sucks
-
INSANEMODE Did you try it without internet at all

damn people are actually upset about this
your IP address being known by someone that doesnt know you is completely harmless.
your email already gets spammed.
STOP CRYING
