Leviathan (2016-05-20 10:19:37)Given that I use different passwords for every website, the only thing they will be finding out is my IP address and my E-mail.
To be honest, I knew about this a long time ago and tried to tell people, but nobody listened. Someluigi acted like he did but never apparently did anything about it.
I'm an open book, there are few questions I won't answer honestly, no matter how embarrassing.
NodePoint (2016-05-20 10:23:46)^ They would also have your password hash but for this site.
^^ The passwords are hashed, not encrypted (and they should not be encrypted).
Regardless, the authentication method used involves storing a cookie of the member ID and hashed password. This password cookie can have its hash easily replaced by something else. So that would be how one can get in once getting hold of such information.
Just be glad that the actual password (as in plaintext) cannot be obtained.

NodePoint (2016-05-20 10:35:11)^ They should not be online dating here anyway. Whoever does it would do it in their own risk.
Even if those were to be encrypted, they would still be able to be accessed if the user gains access to that user's account which really is not hard once you get hold of the required information. (Assuming that the password would not be asked for before-hand and the actual value would not be stored in a cookie.)
Leviathan (2016-05-20 13:35:52)^ Because A. Thats immature and stupid as
. and B. We have it in the rules not to do so. And C. Were getting hacked, thats why people shouldn't have been online dating. I myself know for a fact that whoever decides to inject the website is getting a ton of child porn for Christmas. This post has been edited one or more times, the last time was:2016-05-20 13:36:15

^^ It could be seen an an announcement but it is literally about the site and this forum is more active than the announcement forum and so it would be most appropriate to have it up in this forum.
