You only receive a bounty / reward if you disclose something responsibly (ie email it to [email protected]). Let us know if you have any other reports.

I see, yes I knew that oh well, I didn't have the time to fully demonstrate it or create an email account that can send emails as I do not own one. Oh well, maybe next time.

Actually I think I've found something else, it's an isolated attack but possibly much more severe (don't worry I found this same problem on linkedin.com and a large number of other sites). I'll email you when I get a fully working demonstration together.

Thanks for the report, this has been patched Smiley

Do I get a bounty? Cheesy

I'll test it out later and ensure it is patched correctly.

If you feel compelled to tip for any reason: http://1v.io/[email protected]

Note: I haven't actually scammed anyone, this account received a precautionary scammer tag.

On a related note during my "security audit" I noticed there was also an IP filter on inputs.io. I found out that it can be circumvented by tricking the account owner into visiting a site with some simple JS that takes advantage of an old DNS rebinding attack and allows me to essentially use their browser as a proxy to access inputs.io or any other website of my choosing.

Whoever owns your account email owns your account. So you should be careful about using non-existent webmail accounts, mailinator-type sites, etc.

I think you nailed it.

A while ago, I remember WhiskChat's inputs.io account used a disposable yopmail.com email that I was able to access...although it wasn't much use as if I remember correctly you cannot reset password by email using inputs.io. I also remember Whiskers used at least one other disposable email account for other purposes too. I'm assuming this is how his website and forum account were compromised.

How was whiskers & whiskchat hacked?

Probably his password or account was compromised and that probably led to the database being compromised. I did hear something about an old hotmail account, but that's about it.

OK, have him send me (signed) the email address I should use for the account. He can then use the forgotten password feature.

Theymos, I believe you own this website.

As new users, do we have to worry about account security? Why are individual accounts being hacked?

What purpose would it serve to hack user accounts of an online forum?

Thank you.

The forum database wasn't compromised. There was a site he owned and that database got compromised, his password probably got compromised too, maybe from the database, a virus, etc. But none of it was due to a security leak in the forums.

Right. Thank you.

Have him sign a message with 1whiskrpGeZVd5ormX2ihifc9uB2YSz82 or some other address associated with the account.

He created back then a locked thread with his GPG key:
