BMG Data Leak

Postby TheCosmicFang » Wed Jan 02, 2019 1:08 am

So, there's been a data leak, involving everyone's passwords, emails, usernames, IP addresses, and payment information. If your email and payment passwords are the same as your BMG account password, GET THEM CHANGED, NOW.

The link to my source can be found here: https://blog.dehashed.com/town-of-salem-blankmediagames-hacked/

Please, BMG, do something about this, ASAP.

Some notes about dealing with this breach:
  • Changing your details won't mean your information isn't still out there. You should change your passwords especially if you didn't use a unique one when signing up on any of blankmediagames' websites. (And you might as well use a password manager while you're at it. In case this happens again, here or somewhere else. And it will, believe me.)
  • Expect a lot of spam to your email address. Don't trust anyone, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
  • If you ever purchased anything from Town of Salem then those payment details are also leaked. You should not forget this if you see any suspicious activity with your payment accounts.
