How long do you think it would take them to break my password, [Removed by Support]? Do I need to change it?

Why does your (Chris W.) Title read as if there was a 'potential' breach? As I read your statement, it was clear someone was in your systems and network. Whether or not they copied or downloaded the data is in question but they still viewed and have knowledge of any of the information they viewed during that time so that IS a breach.
Thank you!

For what? being transparent? It's not transparency,it's a common sense and i do believe that in certain regions a requirement that if any or/and all private user-end information has been/might be compromised that they have to make an announcement.

This is a fuck up,there is nothing to thank them for,sit back and hope that nothing much got leaked.


Not exactly. I said this in a previous post, but I'll reiterate. The laws vary from state to state in the US, and AFAIK there isn't much federal regulation on this yet. In most cases, a company is only required to notify you when "personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person". Chris said here that there is no evidence any information was leaked, and as such they are probably not legally required to disclose that their system was breached.

The world extends beyond the borders of the US and GGG waited nearly a week before making this public. Passwords are not needed to start causing harm to others and everyone is thanking them. Someone with malicious intent needs no more than a user name, real name and an associated email address to start doxing individuals. Just having access to email addresses opens the community to targeted phishing and email scams.
