22:31 MagicalTux; i'm hearing places someone is selling your database, might want to look into that
22:32 [22:31:16] MagicalTux; i'm hearing places someone is selling your database, might want to look into that <- already saw it, pure FUD (you wouldn't go far anyway, password are encrypted one way with salt)
22:32 (and of course salt is random for each user)
22:33 If it's random for each user, doesn't that mean the database would also store the salt?
22:33 it does, and that's perfectly right
22:39 MagicalTux: And you database is leaked?
22:39 lolcat: I don't think so
22:40 Should I change my email adress?
22:40 lolcat: I see no reason so far, someone claiming they stole the db doesn't mean anything
22:42 none of the servers (backup or live) have any suspicious login
22:42 MagicalTux: They couldn't have edited the log?
22:42 lolcat: in that case, they could have just taken the bitcoins
22:43 Good point
22:43 or taken the access to LR
22:43 or to Dwolla
22:43 or to the EU bank
