A hacker forum was just hacked and some data of about 300,000 wannabe criminals were leaked. Hashtag sadface, right?
BreachForums, an infamous forum used by hackers to distribute leaked and stolen data, was... hacked, and their data was leaked. According to Bleeping Computer, the forum database was compromised and data of over 300,000 accounts was leaked.
The data contained usernames, IP addresses and some other things. Of course, those of the users who actually were hackers, were prepared for such danger and their IPs were just loopback addresses, which will not allow tracing them. But some of them were not that smart, and over 70,000 of those account will allow the users to be tracked down.
According to the hackers, who leaked the data, the whole forum was just a honeypot operation, used by the law enforcement to lure wannabe criminals, but it is hard to be certain about it. Nevertheless, it will be hard to find anyone else to shed a tear about the whole thing.

In his second video regarding the "Stop killing games" initiative, indie developer Pirate Software again argues how bad the whole idea is and how it will destroy developers. And misses the point. Again.
Over 6 months after introduction of Netflix Games - yes, it has happened, and don’t worry you’re not the only one that missed that - quite interesting numbers were published. Or rather one number - less than 1%.
If you missed the sh*tstorm that just keeps on giving, the Community Contributors walkout in World of Warships, don’t worry, nothing particularly interesting happened. Except Wargaming apologized again. Well, sort of...
Yes, about four weeks. Maybe it is much, maybe it isn’t, it’s not really for me to judge. What am I talking about? About the period of time that really recognizable games can keep their audience interested. Again: what am I talking about? Yes, it’s Phasmophobia again, and Cyberpunk 2077 again. For the last time I hope.
Grant Theft Auto VI, yet another highly anticipated game of recent years, is delayed. Let the sarcastic clapping begin.
With each month you can notice two things on Steam that look coincidental, but really are not - there are hundreds of new titles popping up on the lists and the prices are going up, especially for early access games. In normal circumstances more supply means lower prices, but not in case of early access.
If a company with a reputation as bad as Square Enix reaches the new low, you can count on their new idea being really, really bad.
After stumbling upon dozens of examples of people simply refuse to understand that reviews are opinions, I feel I have to take a stab at the topic.
