Twitch hacked. Change passwords.
- Thread starter Plainview
- Start date
The fact that i had to look up what twitch is add to the idea that i am safe.
I stopped using twitch to be honest. I might change it, who knows, but I livestream on dailymotion currently.
Of course I just used a credit card on their for the first time a couple weeks ago. I think this is all from March 3 though so hopefully good. Either my CC is changing numbers soon anyways. Think I use the password on another site but it's nothing important.
Yeah, it went down around 3PM EST yesterday and were urging users to change pw's.
I actually recently just started streaming on a daily basis playing mostly Destiny and sometimes the odd game here and there. Do people watch twitch streamers here?

Rubbish a properly salted and hashed password cannot be "decrypted easily" you need to brute force every single password due to the salt and brute forcing large cryptographically secure hashes is not viable.
Hell a hash cannot be "decrypted" at all its a one way function all you can is find one of the inputs that gives the same output as you want.
As in watching other people on the forums? I haven't watched anyone but also never see anyone at least on Xbox stream. Only person I really watch with regularity and subscribe to is Maximilian Dood for fighting games.
Whatever hash you are trying to brute force is s***.
Try cracking a Whirlpool hash and you'll be there for decades if not the heat death of the universe.
Try crack this:

Its a Whirlpool Hash so tell me what it is.

No what you did is made a objectively false statement ("hash's are easy to crack") sure some are, but you have 0 chance of cracking the one I posted. Any sane company will use a real cryptographically secure hash that is probably going to take longer then the heat death of the universe.
I'm not talking about the one you posted. I'm talking about the thread topic and specifically, I commented on a post asking about hashed and Salted passwords saying they can be easy to break. Which they can be. You're saying good encryption makes it next to impossible, and yes, you're right. I'm in no way disagreeing with you.
