font sharing site DaFont suffered a data breach

19/05/2017 alle 03:28

general public: Please change your passwords immediately for this site and any website that used the same password.

dafont.com developers: please update/strengthen your password hashing methods. MD5 encryption has been basically insecure since 1996, largely due to users creating very short passwords that can be deduced with some brute-force dictionary attacks or mathematical collision detection on the hashed values. The original author of the MD5 password hash algorithm has publicly declared his software end-of-life in 2012 and is "no longer considered safe" to use on commercial websites.
