[PSA/Article] If you use the same login information as Silkroad 2 with other DNM's, Change your password immediately.

The "lead developer" for Silkroad 2 released a database with the usernames and hashed passwords, he is selling the salt to decrypt the passwords.

If you use the same login information on multiple sites, change them immediately.

he's likely raided the best accounts already... could explain a lot of those "I was phished but i never did anythign wroooong" posts... plus also the feds have the same data since they popped blake (or even before since cirrus the UC ran the site...)

Here's an even better idea: Never use the same login information on different sites. Password managers are are everywhere and easy to use.

If you're too lazy or technically incompetent to use a password manager at least use the trick I used to use before they were around. Come up with a pattern you can use that will vary your password in a way that you can easily remember. For instance, use something like:

<last letter of website you're on>XX<base password>YY<first letter of website>

where XX & YY are numbers. So if your base password was 'Password' (and, god, please don't let it be) and you decide XX/YY are the year that you got your puppy, your password for reddit would be: t20Password13r

This isn't really that secure but it will protect you from leaks.

Please, please get a password manager and use it to generate strong passwords. It's not 1995 anymore, people. The internet is not safe.

I don't even reuse my accounts on the same market. I'd rather not have a purchase history.

MORE LIKE "If you use the same login information as Silkroad 2 with other DNM's, you are a complete Idiot!!."

Should have been assumed LE had them Ions ago and would use them to rip your account on any other market

Anyone who uses the same login info is a retard. Mine are different for each market.
