Quote from: Arminius;788270An article appeared in Gamasutra under his name, with that quote.

Oh wow I completely miss this.  I just read it and holy shit is he stupid.  Wow that whole article made him look more stupid than that pic could ever do and that is a amazing feat to do.

While we're at it, can someone please explain to me why these people are spending all this time and energy to ruin the lives of a few people based on false allegations (again, mostly consultantgate and JDgate) when you've got actual dirtbags like Shipman that they could try to run out of the hobby?  Or why they're throwing huge shit fits and energy into ranting about how the MM doesn't have at least 50% representation of female monsters as if that's the most important purpose of the book and therefore WoTC doesn't really care about minorities, but nary a mention about clearly sexist and child porn-esque games that their friends helped create?

Can someone explain how a unproven thoughtcrime is worthy of rallying the masses of concerned and righteous zealots, but actual crime isn't worth acknowledging?

Sarcosanct that would require work to solve real crime.  It would require going through the legal process of justice and the worst thing about it is that there is no reward for it.

It is better to just attack fake crimes that does nothing to anyone at all.  That way you won't have to prove any thing and gain instant fame from a outrage crowd.

Well, after several hours of fucking around with my router, whoever hacked it can go fuck off and die in a fire. :mad:

How do you know you got hack?

Quote from: Snowman0147;788311How do you know you got hack?

Because I'm the ONLY person who knows the passwords, and they got changed.

Shit.  What password were you using, or does your router come with a password?

What brand of router do you use?

Why do you think someone would target you? (Or is this off topic?)

How do you think they got your IP address?

Not sure I want to share too much more, honestly guys, until I've had time to talk more with the police (I'm filing a Report, just on the off chance someone does go wild with a Credit Card, or worse, I find out they were trafficking kiddie porn while I was at work today).

Luckily, the router comes with a "reset" button on it, and I was able to reset and switch the security settings. After I finished that, everything started working again.

In fairness, we do live on "the po' side of town", so someone might have just been looking to steal my high-speed Internet.

High speed internet theft is more likely.  The chance of having some internet hacker hacking your router for no good reason is too little of a chance for it to happen.  Now it does happen, but it isn't as common as media makes it out to be.

Now some stranger in your area knowing some router tricks is more common.  Especially if you can you just google search it.

True, but it apparently went down shortly after I posted the photos in the thread. The timing was odd, since we've lived here for almost 2 years.

But then again, this summer I had someone steal 3 fence boards in the wee hours of the morning. Didn't realize it till I called for the dogs after letting them out, and the puppy came running back (bell twinkling) through the hole, behind the trampoline...

The only people that read this forum site in good faith are those who are sick and tired of the social justice bullshit any ways.  As far as any social justice group is concern we are lost causes preaching to the crowd.  I highly doubt it was them and especially on such short notice.  It barely even had enough time to spread.

Though the fact you got bits of your fence stolen is pretty telling that you might want more secure passwords for your router.  Possibly better routers that offer more protection.  If they are stealing fences there is no telling what else they can do.

Dude, there's SJW's that spend more time lurking here, than I spend posting here. I would not be surprised Ettin has more hours logged in to theRPGSite, than I.

What security mode do you use?
WEP and WPA are both trivial to hack so turn on WPA2 and disable remote admin. This will mean you need to be connected to the router by a physical cable to do admin but it will prevent anyone from making any admin changes unless they are actually sitting in your house next to it in which case your router is probably way down the list of worries....

Okay, that's just....creepy.
