As most if you know, earlier today, LiveWire had a serious security issue brought to our attention.

To sum it up, someone discovered a way to get the password of any LiveWire member. And that person chose to use this to post from the accounts of various members. And also publicly post the passwords of various members and moderators.

Our admin has logged on and fixed this error so please change your password immediately. We cannot guarantee that this person did not look up your password prior to this issue being resolved.

In addition, David has put the image baskets back online so you can use those again. :)

I know this is confusing for people. We apologize immensely for any worry, trouble and inconvenience caused by any of this.

Feel free to contact The Professional or any other mod with questions.

-Audrey

That's the one thing you don't ever want to make public when someone steals your password.

Jesus christ, people are reacting to this like the world is ending.

To change your password to go "My Account" and the link is on the top right bar.

It wouldn't have helped. The password could have just been looked up again.


-- Posted by carbonara at 12:35 am on Oct. 13, 2008

I've had the same password since creation, i guess i'll have to part ways with it now :(

I wish I was high... so I could have babies.

If i were to change my password, the entire planet would get sucked into a black hole instantaneously. I think it'd be better for everyone if I kept it.

Before this, it didn't matter, now there is reason to believe we have security enough. But all passwords gathered beforehand could still be used.
