It sucks to continuously change passwords, but it's worth the time and effort spend on that, if you compare that to the time and effort it took you to
build a reputation and a higher rank over the years you spend on this forum. Is Satoshi's account one of the affected users, or is his account
disabled? Well, time to change my password again.
That's inaccurate.
No passwords in their raw form can really be taken, if they could, the bitcoin network would've already failed.
Like how private keys are hashes of specific thngs and tey are almost impossible to break. Breaking these encrypted passwords would take lots of "brute force" to do it.
Instead of qustioning if satoshi is one of the effeted members, maybe try to find if the admins were breached of this issue? Even though they will change teir passwords often (probably) it cannot be ruled out that their passwords are also being sold here.
If you pay attention to this:
What year did you change the hashing algorithm? From what I saw in the database some users who didn't logon after 2012 were not in it.
July 2012.
He last logged in in december 2010! Definitely before that time so he's not on that database.
To clarify, they're selling SHA256 passwords? Hashed passwords! There is great difficulty in converting several hundred thousand of these in one go and highly trusted members may change passwords often so little money can be gotton from this.
yeah to be honest it would be really hard to get the passwords then i think we are safe but we most probably should change passwords
Not probably, but i think you must change the password. The hacker might compare hashed password with SHA-256 database or have hints such as birth date, hobby, etc.
There are some account hacked because this leaked password, you might check this thread if you're curious :
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/i-just-hacked-3-and-scammed-3-members-1544686What you have to think is, why would he sell these for only 1
BTC. and So late on. As if he can't really be bothered with this thing and is probably not even selling the right hashed passwords.
There also bitcoin address staking that comes into acount here as you will still be able to recover accounts that have their passwords compromised.
I have read all the comments above and I think this comment sums them up perfectly.
