This is what happens when deaneus is out of action.

Time to update my password from "sacktrigg".

I just checked and realise I have only sent one private message the whole time I've been on here and that was in 2017: "Ha! Yes Sydney are a rather different proposition to what they were when they were 0-6"

Am ok with that being public. :-D

It appears during COVID lockdown that there has been more hacking than usual.

Personally I'm not worried as my PM's will be boring to the average person & my BF email address I no longer use.

However, it's a concern cyber attacks are on the way up & some posters privacy has been threatened through no fault of their own.

From what I am aware it's just your PMs and private boards like the moderators boards etc that the data was accessible.

No emails or personal details were accessed unless you had specifically given your personal information to someone in a DM.

SacktheChap2020 has a nice ring to it.
Easy to remember too.

Amateur hour stuff.

I'm not surprised this happened when BigFooty also love to update elements to their theme/layout on the fly, without testing in a private test server first

 

[Vhaluus]

my only PMs are like 20 Richmond guys laying into me after the grand final because I was s**t talking them for days in the lead up to it.

Feel free to read and enjoy I guess.

Well before it leaks out... in 2014 after early premiership favourites Port collapsed to Essendon in round 15 I went over to the Port board and gave their "The Official Overrate And Get Ahead Of Ourselves Thread" a multi page bump with a bit of a reminder about not getting a head of themselves and got a 3 point infraction from Forzaport.

That's pretty much it. I've learnt from my mistakes and if I had my time over I'd... probably do it again.

Oh man, I'm screwed

Just waiting for the AFL to make a presser blaming the Adelaide Crows for the leak in 3...2...1...

If Phil Harper has a bigfooty account, maybe we'll finally learn what really went down during the Tippett saga.

No emails or personal details were accessed unless you had specifically given your personal information to someone in a DM.

Luckily that's only part of the process when you become a mod so they're the only ones who need to worry....*

 

[Jarman3]

This hack is clearly part of a Russian plot to interfere with the election of a new mod on the Adelaide board.

Yeah I know

I guess it wouldn't be an issue if you were John Smith, but if you have a more unique name then you could be in some trouble.

Unfortunately I fit into that category too !!!!

 

[edge of reason]

from the article "Aussie Rules forum Bigfooty.com has about 100,000 users "

that should read 10,000 users and 90,000 aliases and banned burner accounts.
