bitgamer hack - 2015-11-26

Recently we've become aware that bitgamer.ch had been compromised again, or still was. We've also come to know that they in fact store passwords in plain-text format, which we find simply unacceptable anno 2015. We have gotten our hands on the list with all usernames and passwords, so we have simply forced a password change for all 159 matching usernames. For us, this is the safest and easiest way to handle this breach of their users' safety. If you're on bitgamer.ch, but use a different nick here you won't have been forced to change your password, but you should still make sure that your HDBits password is both unique & strong.

Be reminded that the security of your account is your responsibility, so, yes, if your account gets compromised, we will hold you accountable for everything bad that happens with it. It's also a very good idea to enable 2-step verification. Not only does it protect your account against attack vectors that even the strongest of passwords will not, you also get an additional 5BP/h for free! Even if you're not seeding anything at all.

Rest assured that your passwords on HDBits are stored as a salted hash using a more than sufficiently strong algorithm and verification cost.
