Yeah, people's information being stolen is hilarious.

 

[Maintenance]

I thought GB fans would be above doing that.

 

[Teletraan1]

I had never heard of Rooster Teeth before Gerstmanngate 2: Fallout Boogaloo. The hackers might not have either. Scary place the internet.

Plain text passwords ↓

This should have been the first post.

 

[KarmaCow]

We're quickly approaching the moment when there will be a Giantbomb gif for everything.

 

[Peanut0423]

Dr. Tracksuit did this.

 

[Neuromancer]

I heard Jeff's hacker gang blew up a van years ago.

 

[Merguson]

Hahahaha

wait i had an account there.. shit

 

[JumpCancel]

"This security breach is brought to you by Fallout 4"

 

[Myggen]

I thought GB fans would be above doing that.

Quite the leap to get to that conclusion.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I wonder if the bombcast is going to reference any of this?

Doubt it.

 

[The Flash]

Quite the leap to get to that conclusion.

The Cult of Gertsman is hacking all yo women and daughters RT accounts!

 

[WrenchNinja]

No wonder jeff isn't on upf today

He's on the run

 

[studyguy]

I thought GB fans would be above doing that.

GB fans get irrationally angry at a lot of shit. I wouldn't put them above doing anything more than I'd put other sites above doing shady things on the regular. Internet's a big place with lots of shitty people. GB crew isn't indicative of their fans, everyone has some crazies following them after a fashion.

 

[Rubezh]

It was Jeff!! It was Jeff all along!!

 

[Twin Tails]

Plot twist it was actually Mega 64

 

[TouchMyBox]

I thought GB fans would be above doing that.

If it was actually a GB fan, then maybe they just did it for the lulz and won't release the passwords, and in that case they'd actually be doing RT a favour by giving them a spanking for having shit security before someone looking to do some damage came along.

Or maybe not.

Fair enough.

 

[Traffcore]

Those freaking GB gifs are hilariously funny. Hacking is bad though!

 

[Confusatron]

well deserved after their childish comments about jeff's review

"I don't like the words you said, so I'm going to screw with you and all your users."

...Really?

 

[ultratruman]

It's really more like Gerstmanngate 6 at this point.

 

[Tecnniqe]

 

[TheAutomator]

Ahh shit. I got an account there.

I think I'm fucked.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Spectacular week for them.

 

[The Flash]

Fair enough.

Lol. It's all good, man.

 

[louiedog]

If there's anything that I've learned about companies admitting to security breaches, it's that this probably happened a week or two before they acknowledged it publicly.

The timing is funny, but I wouldn't speculate about it being related to the GB stuff.

 

[beancent]

LOLLLLL

 

[Altairre]

It's a real bummer that people's account information got out there. That being said this thread is killing me.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Ahh shit. I got an account there.

Never ever ever use the same password across services. Always prepare for your passwords getting stolen, this shit is inevitable.

 

[FStop7]

Yeah, people's information being stolen is hilarious.

I hope that's a joke.

Yeah, it's probably unlikely that this is something that happened a couple of days ago. And even if it did it's quite the leap to automatically connect it to that silly drama. In any case we'll probably never know for sure, hackers don't really announce why they did some shit.

 

[mattp]

man, seeing the string of giant bomb gifs in this thread is fucking embarrassing
i feel bad jeff & co have to deal with a segment of their community being such shit heads, and you guys all posting that shit in here, seemingly endorsing this, aren't much better

 

[Zemm]

The first page is amazing, those gifs

 

[davepoobond]

great

Yep but watch what they say to our comments.

 

[Jawbreaker]

This is not the way.

 

[oti]

they don't give a fuuuuuuuuuhuuuuuuuuhuuuuuuck

 

[Myggen]

I hope that's a joke.

That's probably a troll, yeah. You should check out his Etsy thread.

 

[LoveCake]

Man, those Jeff Gertsmann fans don't fuck around, do they?

All joking aside, it's a real fucked up situation...

I was just reading that thread & then this was the thread below it.

 

[Loudninja]

I dont see how this is funny. :/

People even posted here that they have accounts.

Agreed. If the password were in plaintext this is fucked for users.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Suge Knight is the rap game Jeff Gerstmann

Great example of GB fans.

 

[davepoobond]

did they switch to a new account system at some point?

 

[mattp]

Yep but watch what they say to our comments.

like, how embarrassing/annoying must it be to have this small army of idiots(obviously this isnt the majority of the gb community. i love gb, too) "representing" you every time that same army of idiots stirs up a controversy involving you, that you probably don't even care about in the first place

 

[DR2K]

"This security breach is brought to you by Fallout 4"

Haha.

It sucks for the people that got their information compromised.

 

[Teletraan1]

It's really more like Gerstmanngate 6 at this point.

Yeah but I don't have anything to go with a part 6 other than Leonard Part 6 which had no previous entries in the series and with the star of that pictures current legal troubles I doubt we will be seeing the prequels anytime soon unless it is a Jail production.
