Has anybody else had an email from EA Customer Support with a URL to change your password?

I have, think everybody on the bfheroes list got one. Says password has been reset for security and you need to make a new one.

Can't log in till you do anyway and if you're not sure it's legit, just put email on ea site and hit forgot password, and you'll get another email with a password reset link.

I was quite surprised to *not* find my username/password on there. Luckily I change mine periodically anyhow - most recently last week

I was definately on there, but I haven't had one.

BTW, what happened with Topiary's trial? Has he been sentenced yet?

Retromatic · 15 Sep 2011 at 15:54

Did they arrest Sabu?

He dissapeared from Twitter a while back....

Mark A · 15 Sep 2011 at 16:14

Yeah just noticed that. lolspoon (kayla) also disappeared from twitter on the 1st sep.

There is a news report that 20 odd people were arrested across the USA recently. Says they were members of Anonymous though.

Regarding passwords.

Rroff · 15 Sep 2011 at 19:33

Except for a lot of systems it won't matter if they used "Tr0ub4dor&3" or "correct horse battery staple" even these days by far the larger number of backends will crunch it down to say 13 byte "hash" and I've seen some that only use 8 bytes still... not sure if thats any worse than storing the original password in plain text on the server tho heh.

Software properly storing the password securely and in a length that makes cracking difficult are still the minority :S
