FA hacked, and the panic has ensued.
15 years ago
So...
So I've been hearing a lot lately about FA getting hacked, and how people are freaking out. Notes are hacked! Galleries wiped! Oh shit son! We gotta' get off FA RIGHT NOW!...
Every website that is any kind of popular eventually gets hacked. It happens. Running from one website to another doesn't fix the problem, and you're just kidding yourself if you think that any website is really any safer than any other. If some of the most secure websites in the world, like government sites and such can be hacked, do you really think a site like DA, or FA, or anything of that nature could be more secure?
I guarantee that your email, IM's, any website you use, and your credit card information, will some day fall into the wrong hands. It just happens. Best thing to do, is just be ready for it when it does, fix it when it happens, and move on with life.
Besides, the honest truth is that we're just not that important. Who ever is hacking this stuff is doing it just to laugh at the people that freak out, not because they're trying to discover all our little secrets. I honestly think people are worrying far too much.

I'm annoyed. I'm not leaving, though. The horse has already gone walkies and the barn door's as secure as it's likely to get.
As far as the security issues being known of months ago, I haven't heard that one. But if it's true, that could change things yes.
