Sec reminder

Hi all

Security is real problem.

EF I trust, it's why I post here. Sentence of trust to EF was in orginal post but I removed it - EF is forum too. And owner - Neo - is know in community and probably do not want to do mess with his own reputation.

But still database can be stoled. That passwords are not in clear form (some hash, MD5, SHA, etc) makes just few days difficulty for thefts - bruteforce cracking or dictionary words... Piece of cake if you have hash of password.

But there are many forums! Near every society have one, even new societes makes forums and in soc terminal you can read "forum registration required".

If you do not use EU password in forum you still can use your mail account password on some forum. And EU is not all world: collected data from forums can be used to crack Visa card: birth data, rl name, etc, etc. To many security threads to name them all... Even mail addres is valuable for some kind of businesscreatures, spammers for example.

The main reason that make I post was EU Tracker. It was new tool for me and amount of data colected during registration make I post. But still, I registered account in EUT, so I have nothing against EUT crew. Nor other forum I know, what I say in first post.

Still I think it is good to remind that there is no such thing as 100% security, on any forum, tool, online bank and EU (with GC too). There are just harder-to-crack things and THIS IS WHAT EVERY SECURITY SPECIALIST WILL SAY. What marketing specialist say is other topic. If someone will be realy wanted to crack "ANY AVATAR NAME HERE" or any bank on Earth and have some rl money he will broke what hi want. Probably avatar account sooner then online bank.

We just need to avoide traps - things that wait for false move.

Second thing I reminded in first post was: IF YOU ARE BAD GUY YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO BAD THINGS. Pls do not comment about this particular subject, maybe it will be usefull for someone.

And sory Kaiser, you have bad nose. I will never have big posts counter and even have no idea is it usefull for somethink. Is it ? Never say never ofc, we see what happend, but I am not such kind of person. Just have some free time from EU and mining forum was boring lastly...
