With v1 coming up in 1 day, the protection must much better! Most peace-countrys are hacked and the hacker(s) canceled the mpp's. When wars will started in v1 its very unbalanced in peace!

I ask the admins for a better protection. And all wars must be canceled in v1, until there is a better protection!

Admins please fix this!!!

VOTE+SIGN so the admins can read and think about it!

Noticed some funny erepublik things
:
-You need your old pass to change your password, but you can just as well just change the E-mail and request a new pass

-I apparently logged in while they changed my pass? Do these active sessions ever time out?

-Before this I\'ve seen SO\'s with strong passwords getting hacked time after time. And add this, and it seems it\'s pretty much impossible to keep them out.

-Hackers changed the wellness of people, so apparently they hacked a lot more than just accounts.

Most passwords aren\'t that protective.

When you have a password with 7 characters

capitals and low cases, numbers and symbols, then your save.

Not when they had access to the DB and it seems like that happened.

hannes3510 Day 327, 08:43

yes they do.

passwords are encrypted with md5-hash, so the only thing they can see is usernames, gold, nlg, email, ... but they can\'t see the password.

And when they got access to the db, much more harm could be done, like erasing all data for example.

That or they put up a phishing site that re-directs to the real one.

They didn\'t guess all the passwords, that isn\'t possible.

yethur Day 327, 08:50

zij bereiden reeds deze beheerders voor, die geen oorlog gaan zien beginnend met de nieuwe versie

hannes3510 Day 327, 08:54

phishing or bruteforcing

and my guess will be bruteforcing.

No, completely false. We had several instances where exactly this happened. Hell, I said this right above your post.
Even if we didn\'t KNOW that strong passwords were hacked, it\'s pretty clear that they didn\'t hack so many people with brute forces password cracking..

Also:
>your save.
