Heya Guys,

I did a search on my username and wow it came up with all my details from this site. Enough for ID theft anyhow. So i just checked to make sure it was not cookie grabbing or something else so i typed in a few names from these forums. You would be surprised what i found using <username> atomicmpc.

Tell the Keymaster he left the door opened.

A forum search, or via google or similar?

Too, your details as in log-in credentials and account info, or, you know, all the stuff you've posted on the forums?

Maybe this is why google.com is logged into the forums all the time.

Well, I tried it. I don't know wtf you're on about, codecreeper.

There is just over one page of results for me (once I exclude 'cyber', which clearly isn't me), and none of those is even vaguely more revealing than anyone can see in a standard thread reader. The only userinfo page that comes up is from the last version, not current info anyway, and still wouldn't be personally identifying even if it was.

I am not making this up guys ,so why is my forums profile in Google search ? Not having a go at anyone just wanna find out why?

Those links indicate it is their for our posts in the forums and too promote the forums.

And too Cybes your name is a common variety maybe that is why you cannot find it. Cybes can be shortened for anything beginning with Cybe....

Mate, I can find it just fine. I can also find thousands of hits that aren't me. What I'm telling you is that the security breach you're seeing in your case is not turning up for me in mine.

...are you talking about http://forums.atomicmpc.com.au/index.php?showuser=36024 ?

They're public facing, so by definition anything you put onto them is something you're happy for the public to see. Which means anything on there that enables identity theft is something you've decided can be used for identity theft.

Are you worried that someone is going to find the link to your Atomic username via your actual name and or details, or that someone might find out your real name and where you live based on what you've entered in your profile slash posted on the forums?

Not really that bothered. Was just trying to raise this issue just in case someone hacked these forums its been happening a lot with forums lately.

Most of that info not really much ,if they want to find me their are heaps of other ways.
