Re: Epic Games forums breached, salted passwords nabbed
My password format makes me secure against all these shitty attacks and allows me to use countless services without having to remember each one.
Try it:
passwordbase (lower case) + service (uppercase)
If you make the passwordbase part super long (like a phrase or something) then it's impossible to reverse the salt... as long as you never use the real passwordbase alone as password.
Example:
thisismypassword22UT99
thisismypassword22EPIC
thisismypassword22GIT
etc.
BTW, never do a salt lookup of these passwords or someone might actually be able to reverse it.

Yes, and now with Higor's passwords I can run amok on those forums and replace everywhere he put "ferbots" with "furrybots"!

I was reading the news about this but there wasn't anything too much alarming. But if I remembered... here is the link I read it:

Sites are still down. Best to change passwords regardless of what they say.

Now I have to look if I have used the PW somewhere else and replace it as well. I hope not.
Re: Epic Games forums breached, salted passwords nabbed
Many thanks for the heads up. Considering this site and UnrealSP are my primary sources for UT/Unreal related info, I may not have otherwise read about this...

That and there's some real prizes from other posters, like this gem:
Someone posted that to the Epic forum of which we speak.
I giggle my ass off everytime I see it!
