The lack of administrative action makes me think the mod team here are about as useful as almost all the cops and agents in Die Hard. I watched the movie recently, fresh on my mind.

CHANGING YOUR PASSWORD WILL NOT CURRENTLY HELP IF THE EXPLOIT(S) CURRENTLY USED TO GAIN USER DATABASE INFORMATION IS STILL USEABLE (WHICH IT PROBABLY IS, CONSIDERING THAT ADMINS ARE ASLEEP). IF CHANGING YOUR PASSWORD, DO NOT CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYTHING YOU USE ELSEWHERE.

Not sure why everyone is cursing and "scared." I can almost guarantee that this was just a simple bruteforce to get passwords and not an exploit. Similar to how users crack Netflix and Hulu accounts. The same thing happened to Se7enSins when some script kiddies got ahold of SentryMBA. This has an easy fix.

1. Change your password to something new. I recommend using this site
2. Enabling 2 factor authentication. This is what the staff team here uses so even if your password is compromised. No one can use your account unless they can get this second code(which expires after time) You can find this in your account settings.

If you do one or both of these you will be perfectly fine. Although I doubt most of us will have any issues anyway since the script kiddies are only interested in popular/powerful accounts.

i.e Hundshammer and staff members

10th time maybe? I don't know, last year and this year I watched the movie twice in short spans of time, it somehow gets better each viewing, recognizing the wealth of memorable characters in there, not just McClane and Gruber.
