What happened

Arcbellover 9 years ago

Me and lucid figured out what happened. It was an old XSS that somehow wasn't patched. I'll keep you up to date as to when it's fixed here.

So arcbell should I even bother playing my hearts of am I gonna get fked over again
I'll message you an account you can click on to test and see when lucid's fixed the exploit. You can *probably* play your hearts but it's not outside the realm of possibility that another attack will happen if it doesn't get fixed soon.

Changing your password is a good security practice, anyways, PonyLove.
i bet this user uses the same email and password for EM as she does for her bank account
seems like a good idea to me.

wonder who could have done this...
Considering it's an XSS that's been public and we thought was fixed for months, anyone who had the idea to try it and see if it still worked and has enough coding knowledge to deliver a payload that phishes passwords leveraging the trust users place in the site itself could have done it.

In plain english, any amateur who got lucky and tested some code that was made public months ago.

this is a huge security risk, people's accounts are on the line
I mean, honestly, people can do whatever they want, change the password or not, I mean, if changing your password will make you feel better, do it, but this thing isn't affecting the average em person.
blasphemy! on the contrary, if you don't change your password, you will lose your hard earned pixelated trophies and points that have earned you nothing

yes it is ponylove. there is an open XSS in the angular that's gone unfixed for months and which anyone who logged in on a specific day months ago could have access to

It is fine. I talked to him earlier, there is no need to scare everyone Arcbell
ponylove you dont know what's going on. the only sense of safety (about your account) you should have right now is that the attacker probably won't do it twice in a row on the same day, and may not be gathering pw's en masse

and then the pony mod abuses. i believe there is a rule that prohibits this
