Notification of Plutonium Forum Databreach - September 2021
-
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
? -
This post is deleted!
-
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
-
Mr. Android I have a dynamic IP so I'm guessing I'm fine, and I'm hoping you'll remove all this sensitive information from the hands of everyone at the plutonium staff, really don't know why they would even have access to this.
-
chasef7 People just want a reason to get mad over everything, especially in gaming. I'm sure in a few days everyone will forget about this and things will be back to normal.
-
inb4 I start receiving mass spam emails

IHateBlackOps4 you don’t know how true this comment is.

yall needa chill lmao
-
if anyone would like to know where you live anyways lol

Soliderror I wish I could say they learn, but they don't learn and they have proven it before. It's the reason I have left, and why many others have left plutonium as well. There is a wild lack of care to make a community or listen to it, and that is why the Discord server is left mostly dead. There is still a playerbase, but at this point, likely on a last limb after this information. They even locked down the discord server, simply because they didn't want backlash from a problem of their own making.
