On November 11, Dr. Morbius received a notice that he had set up a new username and password at Gawker chat rooms. Because he knew he did not request this, and also had been told by someone else that he had been logged into Campfire (but also knew he had not), he asked members of his team to investigate. He did not however bother to change any of his other accounts that used the same password as his Campfire account.

Can I do the old "I tried using 'penis' as my password but it told me it was too short" gag now, please?

not really trying to zing morbz. I work for a website and can peer in at user pw's. I'm just amazed at how little thought goes into them. hogsfan, gohogs, f00tball, thurman94.
And that's not just the pa$$words, birthdays and us3rnames typed with numbers. If I ever get drunk with power, I could probably have a field day reading email at AOL.com.

that forbes blog post is interesting but is weirdly written, like it's been google-translated or somethign

Maybe written by a Polish hacker trying to throw everyone off the scent.

I think the real mistake was in creating a gawker account

i'm gonna keep a running tally of sites that have closed my accounts due to suspicious activity
- gmail- linkedin (lol you guys can take this one)
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 14 December 2010 04:23 (fifteen years ago)
wait, they closed your gmail account?
― markers, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 05:09 (fifteen years ago)
yeah -- when i woke up this morning my droid had an error message (OS is linked w/ google) so i knew something was up, went to gmail & had to enter my phone number, they texted me a code, i entered that code into gmail & they allowed me to change my password
so i'm back in now
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 14 December 2010 05:11 (fifteen years ago)
oh ok
― markers, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 05:12 (fifteen years ago)
Oh shit, I registered a Gawker account at some point? Fuck me.

i received an email from gawker 9 mins ago
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 14 December 2010 05:13 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, my email was from 20 minutes ago.
But I mean: I don't even know when I posted on Gawker, so I have no idea what my password even was.
― Zsa Zsa Gay Bar (jaymc), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 05:14 (fifteen years ago)
maybe idolator?
that's where my account originally came from
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 14 December 2010 05:17 (fifteen years ago)
Ohhhhhhh...
― Zsa Zsa Gay Bar (jaymc), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 05:18 (fifteen years ago)
i received an email from gawker asking if i had heard from max and whether he was ok
― tickle me imo (s1ocki), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 05:19 (fifteen years ago)
i feel like people wondering when/why they created gawker accounts could be the plot of The Killer Inside Me 2
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 14 December 2010 05:20 (fifteen years ago)
I'm not super familiar with Gawker. Just curious why a lot of people hack it.

So I originally registered for Idolator in 2006, and I'm pretty sure I don't currently use that password anywhere (whatever it might have been). Now a search of my Gmail indicates that I reset that password in 2009, probably to something I do currently use elsewhere, but since Idolator was no longer part of Gawker at that time, I should be OK, right?

this was posted upthread http://undertow.jedsmith.org/gawker
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 14 December 2010 05:34 (fifteen years ago)
ah mine must have been idolator too
max emailed me at 9pm - customer service!
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 14 December 2010 05:36 (fifteen years ago)
Well my username/e-mail have definitely been compromised. But that doesn't mean anything if the password was unique, no?
