Notification of Plutonium Forum Databreach - September 2021
-
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.)
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)
-
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 you can play mw2, ghosts and advanced warfare on x labs
-
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.
MrAmos123 Im baiting as you/they are using a free service provided by people doing it for no reward who have no obligation to value your privacy in any way. 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

yogakumi Oh I love Ghosts. Thank you.
-
Also, if you don't know how to tell if you have a dynamic IP...
Open up Command Prompt and type "ipconfig/all" and look under everything. If most areas that say "DHCP Enabled" say Yes, then it's dynamic. If they all say No, then your IP is static.Also, since no one wants to use plutonium, we can either find something else online, or go back to OG BLOPS2 servers! Right..? -_-

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.

xFD This has to be a staff's alt right LMAO
-
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.
-
imsarahh no, you can add me on discord if you really want to find out. lol

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 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 warfareand you dont need a account
