Please Reset Your TechPowerUp Forums Password

btarunr · Nov 22, 2012, 02:25 PM

Earlier today (22/11), TechPowerUp servers were hacked. The attacker gained access to the forums user database, the one which stores user information. Details such as usernames, hashed and salted passwords fell into the wrong hands. Thanks to GPGPU, the passwords are as good as compromised. We have undertaken a security review, and are mandating a password change for all users. Your old password will not work, click on "forgot password" link and follow the instructions to reset it. If you use the same password (as your old TPU password) elsewhere (other sites), change it to something completely different. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and promise to improve our security infrastructure.

If you no longer have access to the email account you used to register, please email w1zzard@techpowerup.com and mention your username, old e-mail, new e-mail and IP address you typically use to post on the forums.

Thanks for the heads up, done.

Twitter is quite nice in these situations to get the word out quickly. Reset.

btarunr · Nov 22, 2012, 02:29 PM

It's already tweeted when the post was made.

Lipton · Nov 22, 2012, 02:30 PM

Yeah, that was my point as it's where I got the news. ^^

mtosev · Nov 22, 2012, 02:32 PM

forum not up to date and someone found a security hole and hacked the forum?

Well only for people using it

so it is quite nice to have a news here also

manofthem · Nov 22, 2012, 02:32 PM

Ah, so this is why I couldn't log in earlier, had me worried. After submitting the Forgot Pass email, it did take a few minutes before receiving it, which also had me worried. Hopefully we are safe now

But why would anyone want to hack TPU? This is the bomb diggity. I just don't get it.

Agreed! It should be capital punishment for this offense

Also, should we change it to something different than it was before?

Thrackan · Nov 22, 2012, 02:40 PM

changed, hope my recent policy of making different passwords for different services is paying off

JrRacinFan · Nov 22, 2012, 02:44 PM

Had me worried there for a moment. My password has been changed. Have a safe & happy Thanksgiving to those in the States!!!

That would be a good idea.

Password changed. For a second there I was having problems trying to get the "reset password" link to work. Kept giving me error 403.

Doc41 · Nov 22, 2012, 02:50 PM

Done, but now i''m very curious about who hacked TPU

Thrackan · Nov 22, 2012, 02:51 PM

TPU did the best it could in this situation if you ask me.
No mass-spamming to prevent a login/reset rush or dubious emails, just disable the old passwords.

MRCL · Nov 22, 2012, 02:52 PM

Good thing GN posted the news aswell, as I'm recently not very active here. But no one shall dare to steal my identity.

manofthem · Nov 22, 2012, 03:06 PM

I just got a pop up here at TPU telling me I needed to enter my username/password and like an idiot I did. It continued asking me for it, so I didn't enter it again. Anyone get that? I don't think this hack is done.
