"Lost Password" "feature"

Apr 03, 2003 furball link
Ok, some llama who got pissed at me in game has decided that they wish to try and "hack" into my game account. I got almost 100 emails dating from 12:44 AM EST today to about 01:10 AM EST today. All looking like this:

Subject: Vendetta Password Request

In order to change your Vendetta password, please visit the
URL below:

http://vendetta.guildsoftware.com/?recover=<rest of url left out!>

As a reminder, your Vendetta user name is Furball.

I am assuming (and have tested) that the password has NOT been changed yet yes?

Whoever is doing this... give it up...

That sounds like someone is deserving to have their acount revoked. Where's the user agreement? I'm sure it violates that!!

And fur, log on sometime, I have some surprises for you. ;-)

Hacking into someones account just because <begin baby talk> they made you cry, (awww poor baby) <end baby talk> is no reason to hack an account, it's childish, if i had the smarts i would set up a system that would instentaneously fry my chars and make new ones under the same names on a different account, i would most likely need server side information though.

furball,

just to let you know, even though you had attacked and killed me several times last night, i wasn't the person that tried to hack into your account.

Nighty said in IRC about 5 minutes after I posted this thread that he did it and was meaning it as a joke. All I gotta say is that IMNSHO, that crossed the line. That's a line that I never even CONTEMPLATED crossing when StarFreeze and I had our disagreement.

Not a funny joke Nighty.

Remember its only a game. And the consequences or your actions would result in you not playing again.

Think about it.
Me likes furball. (But still wont join Golds)

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

What... fur's back?

Damn, I've not been around for way too long

Maybe the password recovery email system should have some sort of time limit where you can't request a password recovery more than X times per hour or something.

Maybe Lecter should not resurrect threads from the dark ages.

Alright, alright. But it was pretty pitch black where I found this one!

I blame Lemming for encouraging Lecter.
