Trading Paints Credentials Leaked - CHANGE PASSWORDS - Lemmy.world
Hadn’t seen this posted, but for anyone who uses Trading Paints in conjunction
with iRacing you need to go in and change passwords NOW! There was a leak of
270,000 accounts with emails/passwords in md5 format (easily reversible to
plaintext) If you use the service make sure to reset your passwords asap and if
you use the password shared on other services you should make sure to change it
as well
fucking md5. which one of the devs thought this would be a good idea?
Seriously. MD5 is in no way secure. At the very minimum it should have been encrypted with an algo that isn’t already broken. Pretty disappointed in the TP devs TBH. That’s not an oversight, that’s a complete and utter disregard for the safety of their users information
What’s crazy is that I think this service was developed after md5 was shown to be widely compromised (2011-2012). Not 100% sure though, I wasn’t able to find an exact release date.
Even so, after it was cracked that should have been the #1 priority to fix. There’s absolutely no way it’s acceptable that they haven’t fixed it 10 years down the line.
Unfortunutly there is no other service like it so they can afford to be lax cause you know. Who else is going to do it?
Be interesting if someone does get compromised and given the clear lack of effort in properly securing the personal data if they attempt to seek damages against TP
