:attention: :attention: Hackerangriff auf Boinc Stats

[schatten1411]

Mir fiel heute auf, dass auf den Accountseiten meiner Projekte unter "Projects in which schatten1411 is participating" nacheinander die Gesamtpunktzahl auf "0" ging. Mittlerweile existiert das Fenster nicht mehr. Dies dürfte auf den Hackerangriff von Montag zurückgehen und daher zu einigen Schwierigkeiten in der Aktualisierung führen.

2008-06-23: BAM! - Limited number of BAM! user accounts compromised
A hacker has succeeded in retrieving limited information from a few members of BAM!. The members that are affected have received an email.


The hacker in question reported the exploit himself and stated that he wouldn't abuse the information. Yet I urge the ones affected to at least change their password.


I'm sorry for the inconvenience. At least it put me back into the real world, and I'll check all of BOINCstats for further exploits.

Hast Du eine Mail von Willy bekommen?

Dear BAM! Member,

A hacker has succeeded in retrieving limited information from a few members of BAM!. Unfortunately, you were one of the victims.
As I do not know exactly what was retrieved, I recommend you change at least the password of your account.

The hacker in question reported the exploit himself and stated that he wouldn't abuse the information, but in my opinion it's better to change the password just in case.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. At least it put me back into the real world, and I'll check all of BOINCstats for further exploits.

With regards,
Willy
BOINCstats administrator

Ich denke (oder hoffe ), das war tatsächlich ein Hacker, und kein böswilliger Cracker oder ein Skriptkiddie. Ich hab's trotzdem geändert.

Nein, habs so entdeckt. Habe meine Daten trotzdem sicherheitshalber modifiziert.

Edit: "Piwyap" ist heute wieder hergestellt.
