no thanks

I didn't join reddit until 2010. I was still mad about them killing digg.

>reddit

I only joined 3 years ago.

I also don't use any passwords from last year, let alone 2007

Not as bad as the great Jow Forums hack of '16. Everyones usernames and passwords stolen. Even the dogecoins tied to peoples accounts.

Fuck that means everyone here is at risk.

wut?

>still keeps data from 10 years ago

>I'm an oldfag! I remembre playing Wii Sports with my big brother when I was 7!

Old fag here since February 2018.

Sure. Just keep in mind you were still in middle school when I joined and installed Gentoo.

I installed that shit while still in the womb, git gud.

>passwords that were already salted and hashed (or scrambled for protection).
So which is it, shitty ass Verge writing cuck

>How many of you fags just had your data stolen?
Anyone who has an account on reddit should be banned anyway.

I change my passwords every month, I think I'm good.

>he wasn't alive in 2007

Mods are reddit though. We are fucked.

That's the danger of onions.

it still hurts...

Nah, that's even worse. We just need to face the fact that most of us are gone just like the oldfags before us that left.

that ship has sailed years ago

fuck user, don't make me remember...

Underrated post. Isn't that against GDPR?

fucking summerfags
Jow Forums has been "hacked" like 20 times

I have images from Jow Forums older than you.

Doesn't mean shit. I have files from Jan 1 1970. Fuck you boomer.

I was on digg around/before 2007, I remember the reddit migration when you couldn't bury stories anymore.

>2007
>I was 9/10 years old
Now if Club Penguin or Neopets got hacked, I would be in trouble.

I might lurk reddit here and there, but I've never registered.

They didn't. Kevin Rose killed it with his shitty algorithmic changes and sponsorship.

Why do you even care?

You're on Jow Forums. Are you hunting for lelkarmas?

you broke reddit

No one asked what you think.
(But yeah, Reddit is shit.)

thank god I've never used reddit

Wrong, Kevin Rose left and sold his ownership of the company and the new owners brought about the new changes.

>11 years ago
literally who fucking cares

The Wii was a comfy little family pc, loved the weather channel.

Who of you broke reddit? I can't access Jow Forumstechnology

Luckily we are just as cancerous as the new user base so it's fine. Nothing of value is lost.

Everyone in this thread has to go back.

>phoneposter
>redditor
>trap loving cuck zoomer
and nothing of value was lost

Reddit niggers cucked again! This is why you should always use throw away emails and never give out your personal info online.

Fucking newfag, lurk more.

WTF. Someone go on Twitter and tweet "Shame on Reddit for even holding a decade old database"
That shit should have auto pruned.

Lurk more faggot.

Only ever made throwaway accounts with nonexistent emails to pm people about technology :^)

>try to visit reddit during downtime
>big splash screen says "YOU BROKE REDDIT"
>being blamed for something I didn't do

Reddit is SJW garbage

yep I'm sure, and they're hoarding it
how does any site keep data from that fucking long ago

My little user can't be this autistic.
It's clearly a joke you dense kunt.

Do you realize that you never had to insert your email to register?

Try registering now with an EMPTY email, it will let you.

I've made over 50 plebbit accounts throughout the years and only once did they ask me to confirm an email or my account would remain inactive due to some phishy shit they didn't explain to me.

>11 year old data
So what were they looking for?

jailbait pics

They weren't """hoarding it"""

Ever heard of the wayback machine geniuses? Obviously someone used it and hacked an older version of Reddit to get this data

OP is a faggot and should be banned for posting reddit.
MODS

Ban your fucking life!

Ajahahahahaahahahahahah funny user. Clearly a child. Mods please ban

>registering to reddit
>using your real email address
>not just making shit up since they don't verify it anyway
>not making throwaway accounts for every post

You are a faggot for ever even posting there, and who are quoting?

reddit was always too right wing for me, i only ever used metafilter

>tfw made Reddit account two days ago purely for Girls Frontline communities
Is this what it feels like to be a normie

I'll suck your dick you fucking queer!

It's all relative. Bernie called Hillary right wing bevause she didn't support a 90% death tax.

I don't think the wayback machine does much archiving of internal databases...

test

Well I guess that shows how technologically illiterate you are. As expected of a 4channer

K.

Unless Reddit had world-readable DBs hanging out on their servers.

sure. I'm not completely retarded. But since only accounts active in 2018 and a list of accounts who signed up prior to 2007 are compromised, i am not.
But i am an autistic cunt, so i am going to change passwords on most of my other accounts now.

I dont give a shit about my throwaway accounts.

They have to thanks to the new EU privacy act, Americano.

They've already proven not to respect GDPR though.

1 moot didn't code the site. 2 it has been hacked a million times.

neopets did get hacked

>people here actually post on reddit

>people here are unironically born before 2007

>Database with usernames and passwords
Did these absolute retards not even encrypt the login credentials?

>being unironically born at all

it's a pop-tech magazine article. the moron who wrote it probably doesn't know what a password hash is, and neither does the readership.

>>has never been hacked
kek

aussies, remind him

You have to go back

as far as i am aware, didnt leddit had plaintext password storage until 2015 or something ? it isnt really a surprise that a website for subhumans, by subhumans got its data stolen

Ugh. Why don't you do some basic research before posting next time?

*steps out of the shadows*
This thread....has certainly earned my attention.
*slow claps back into the darkness*

it got hacked once, but there was nothing of value to steal other than ip and email addresses

TFW you realize kids born in 2000 are 18 yo now.
