From what I just read, its been undiscovered for two years so if any info has been taken then its been taken.

 

Security/safety on the internet is an illusion. It's a game of cat and mouse. You always gotta stay ahead of the bad guys.

 

It's possible that some people knew of this vulnerability for years, but its unlikely that someone of that intelligence and mischievousness would go after this site. I'm thinking they would go after governments, and the giant commerce companies like amazon, walmart, etc. to steal credit cards.

 

Who knows, but one thing for sure is BE CAREFUL what you put out on the internet.

they will go after the easy sites to get usernames/passwords and then use them on the big sites :) thanks for the info.

You are correct, however we have taken many precautions to ensure we are not an "easy" site. We take security very seriously.
