        was MB the only place you used that password?
      • Lotheric
        no but I know I used it here for a while (maybe on the wiki)
      • ruaok
        this makes me really nervous.
      • Lotheric
        that's why I tought maybe I should say something on IRC about it
      • someone tried to reset my netflix password this weekend at 3am (wasn't me)
      • I use another passwd on netflix
      • and don't share my credentials
      • my email has been in a few breaches (I checke don https://haveibeenpwned.com/)
      • so it might not be related to the MB one
      • but it happened a few days/weeks after your blog post
      • better safe than sorry, I think I'll install bitwarden and change all my passwords :)
      • reosarevok
        I'm pretty sure we're not leaking passwords, even if we were we have them pretty well hashed IIRC
      • ruaok
        Lotheric: I sent mail to the three mb devs and asked them to take another look.
      • yvanzo
        Yes, there is no chance that MB website could possibly leak the password.
      • reosarevok
        I'd suspect something else here, but we can look around just in case. No idea about the safety of the wiki, that's a standard mediawiki install I think but I haven't touched it
      • kepstin
        doesn't sound like any password leak, yeah, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to try to reset your password. but still using a password manager to generate and save unique passwords per service is always a good idea
      • Lotheric
        my netflix password isn't the same though, otherwise he'd be in :)
      • I changed it again anyway
      • reosarevok
        I've gotten one of those old password "totes going to malware you" emails too at some point
      • But then, I knew that pass was pwned
      • Lotheric
        might not be because of the MB leak
      • Oh no — pwned!
      • Pwned in 9 data breaches and found 1 paste
      • it's not my first rodeo
      • hehe
      • kepstin
        yeah, probably the person sending that email just found the paste and decided to spam everyone in it in hopes they'd get lucky
      • Lotheric
        he's definitely phishing because he says he got pictures from my webcam and my contacts info from facebook and messanger
      • kepstin
        just someone with an old/useless list of passwords hoping that they can extract some value out of it.
      • Lotheric
        I do not use facebook nor do I have a webcam
      • lol
      • kepstin
        i'm kind of surprised you even saw the email, those usually get caught by spam filters
      • (since it's generally a template sent out to a big list of people)
      • Lotheric
        it went to spam in gmail
      • it caught my eye becuase the subject was my password
      • old password
