Ian Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Hello everybody, Recently, another web site (that is out of Bumpwire and The Daily Neopets' control) on our web server was compromised. This web site has been secured. But, we believe that this may have affected The Daily Neopets and TDN Forums. To keep your TDN accounts safe, we recommend you do the following: Update your myTDN account password Update your TDN Forums account password Your Neopets account has not be compromised in any shape or form, no worries. This is specific to TDN only (and has nothing to do with cookie grabbers whatsoever). In addition, we have taken these steps to further secure TDN and TDN Forums: Deleted all user-uploaded attachments (in case of malicious files) Deleted all user-uploaded forum avatars (in case of malicious files) Disabled the avatar upload form * Disabled PM attachments Disabled post attachments (basically, attachments everywhere) * Our forum still allows avatars though! You just can't upload them here. You can upload them somewhere else like ImageShack or Photobucket (then input the URL here), or you can choose an avatar from our preset gallery. We appreciate your understanding. Best, Ian The Daily Neopets Management Quote
ΩCCΩ Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Man, that just sucks . Hopefully we can get back up though :yes:. Thanks for informing us Ian! Quote
Lion Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks much Ian. I guess that means I really should change my password to both the forums and myTDN... especially since I have staff powers for the BP now. You are extremely good for doing this. Also, may I ask, what was that debug information doing down at the bottom of the forums pages for the last few days? o-o Quote

Also, may I ask, what was that debug information doing down at the bottom of the forums pages for the last few days? o-o Oh, that's not just me for the debug thing? -whew- At first, I thought it had been there forever and that I just never noticed it. o_O; Quote
Tre Le Coco Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks for the information, looks like i'll go change my password :) Quote
orevrille Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 ok that's a good thing to do im changing my passwords know i hope this does not happen again Quote
-Ryan Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Dang, that sucks. I have mine loaded to photobucket and my laptop is SO slow on there. Thanks Ian. Edit: Er, why is mine still here? Quote
Viridian Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Probably since you got your avatar from an external link, just like I did. Mine's still there too. Anyway, on to changing my passwords for safety now. Hope everything's alright. Quote
stephie23 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I wondered what the debug thing was yesterday! ... I just hid it away... ok ... *goes to change password* Quote
flyingeevee Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks for the updates Ian ^^ Going to change the TDN password since I just changed the forums one at least! Quote
Denisa Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks for the update.. Just changed my avatar and my password. Quote
SarafinaWolf7 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I changed my passwords and my avatar. Good thing I was able to find the avatar again on the web. Although now it's smaller :eh:. Quote
stephie23 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 ya it wont let me upload my picture :( any suggestions? (Im using the exact same one...) Quote
SarafinaWolf7 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 ya it wont let me upload my picture :( any suggestions? (Im using the exact same one...)Where's your avatar originally from - web or your computer? Quote
Vixensykerd Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Ekk! Well, at least everyone's taking proper measures and hopefully everything will be cleared up soon! Quote
stephie23 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 its from my computer (its the same picture I uploaded before, so it SHOULD work) ... I edited the web version, so I cant just go ahead and use the web one... when I try and change my personal photo from the control panel I get this message: No access permissions Sorry, the board administrator has not enabled your permissions for this part of the control panel.

-Ryan Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I wondered what the debug thing was yesterday! ... I just hid it away... ok ... *goes to change password* So, THAT'S what that debug thing was. I thought it was just Ian doing a big update. D: Quote

Upload the avatar to a photo hosting website (like photobucket) and use the address from there. So, THAT'S what that debug thing was. I thought it was just Ian doing a big update. D:I was wondering what that was. I thought there was something wrong with the Internet or the computer. Quote
Lia Seeya Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 That explains the bunch of coding I found a few days back. :laughingsmiley: Always late to the party, am I? Thanks for the info Ian! *runs off to change passwords and reupload her avatar* Quote
