It's amazing that people reuse usernames, passwords, and emails on shady sites like that.
Indeed, though they've probably learned the hard way now.
BadBear if you could please tell me the rules on this if you have time. Is it actually ok for someone with good intentions to change passwords on this site? It just sounds like unauthorized access to me, and even with good intentions I just am really surprised anyone is doing it. Below is what caused me to ask:
There's nothing anyone can do about it if their details are public, but if he's actually saving the people from having their accounts hacked it's best that someone with good intentions does it than someone with nefarious ones.
Not against the rules, no.
Is your problem that it happened, or that you don't trust the person who did? Would you still expect action taken if it were someone you know and trust?
If allowed my fear is someone claiming it is for good "to stop hackers" and just collect accounts. I'm guessing a list is made of usernames and passwords. I guess I don't like the idea of someone being able to claim being a good guy when making a list of accounts and passwords.
And what would you suggest be done about it? Say "no, you can't do it"? Not going to stop anyone is it (good or bad)?
