Drawcash passwords wiped

[Error]

Console's what you normally want to be using to make sure that you're not going to give your /drawcash password to the world (or local chat) if you've forgotten to type in the all-important forward slash.

Call me old fashioned, but a nice ball point pen and note book is a safe enough place far from hacker hands for my passwords. Just cause we have such convenient things as google docs and pastebin and imgur and the like now days does not mean we need to use less of our brain. take the time to make the effort to make this place fun... even if that means you have to write something down.

As for the whole console Vs. forward slash thing.... my suggestion, NEVER DRAWCASH IN SPACE. Only do so in the relative safety of a space station. the only players that would see the msg should you forget the / would be players actually ON the base when you are.... unless you were to type /s /l or /r. then others will see it as well in most cases.

Take the time to check your passwords y'all... its basically like your bank account, if your old enough to have one that is.

I use console to RP... Somehow I end up dead, most of the times.

I use the console as a little notepad, where I write down how much I still have to get from food/water/oxy/alloy for my bases and I had never problems with it S: , I hope the green's won't feel disturbed by me un:

It sounds like it wasn't a breach of DGC servers, but rather players using not-very-secure ways of storing stuff.

The way I see it, from a Cyber Security standpoint, the admin team shouldn't have called it a "gaping security hole", more just a very bad case of user error. However that being said, the admin team really did everyone a solid by wiping the /drawcash command codes.

If its something else, then it may as well have been a security hole. Something like default RDP passwords.

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.

Guys, I was overexaggerating on purpose, if you read over the post you'll find it excessively over the top. The truth is that people need to watch what they post in their logs, and if we get a tip off that some kind of silly thing is about to happen, we'd rather remind *everyone* about their security (such as for example resetting all passwords) than wait until we get silly reports about stuff being stolen before we deal with this.

You guys are missing the point.


You know how you chill in chats with your peeps and you want to show some logs you found funny? Yeah, but remember that Pastebin auto-uploads them as public and once your session ends (12 hours) you cannot change that setting again.

You are uploading not only potential passwords there, if you show these links to people you trust, but also you are potentially giving away information you do not want the community to read. I have rummaged through that pastebin, when someone pointed out how that works, just to see what I could find.


The passwords were the reason I told the staff to reset the passwords, but I also found plenty of skypelogs mentioning me and other players of the community, hacking, cheating, metagaming and various malicious acts.

This thread has nothing really to do about drawcash codes, since the stolen credits can be traiced. The thread is about putting need-to-know-basis info on a site, which auto defaults on public access.

This is about jeopardizing your image to the community by not making sure you keep sensitive info to yourself and whoever you wanted to share it with.
