[About XDA developers] Tann San:
I posted in the other thread about this but figured I'd chime in here as well. I also use my own xda-developers@mydomain.com address just for this site. I've never posted the address publicly and I always make up new passwords for each site. Those are at minimum 8 random characters/numbers/symbols.

In the other thread it was proposed that an admin/moderators system may of been compromised and a screen scraper had seen our emails. I find this pretty unlikely since my last post before the ones about this was in March. Are you sure all the moderators/admins can be trusted not to of sold our information themselves?

I think enough people have reported this problem that you should acknowledge it on the homepage and ask if people receiving these emails can post back so you can get a real idea of how many peoples accounts have been compromised.

Until you have found the source of the leak what is the point of changing our emails/passwords, they could just pull the new info again, besides, it's a PIA to keep changing my email address. Is anything being done about this or are you just waiting for some good willed hacker to email you at the address you posted?
[About XDA developers] Saxtus:
Tann San,

I have a zero-tolerance policy about spam and getting the information I trust to a site, leaked all over the place,

but the only reason I've posted about it, is to confirm that indeed happened, after seeing bitpushr's post,

so the sysadmin(s) can look into it.

After said that, please keep in mind that even if they find out what caused the leak this time and patch it,

that doesn't mean that it won't happen again in the future. So the least we (the members) can do,

is to follow svetius advice and keep different passwords for each service we subscribe to and different e-mail accounts

whenever possible, although most of the disposable e-mail services, sadly are banned in this site -- obviously to fight spam accounts.

I hope that this can answer your question about why to change email/passwords this time (and every time after that).

I understand your frustration, it is indeed PITA, but one can hope that whatever backdoor was open to our data, it is closed for now...
[About XDA developers] Tann San:
You misunderstood me, I do use different email addresses for all my logins, that's the benefit of having my own email server. I also use different random passwords for each account. What I meant was that it's a annoying to change my email address here more than once since the leak hasn't been identified. For example, I can change it right now to another one but then whoever got our addresses already could go back and get my new email address, so then I have to change it again.

I don't really use my account here very often but I do read the RSS feeds/articles every day. I'm just saying that it seems a bit irresponsible to not let people know that their email accounts and who knows what other information has been stolen. That is also part of the reason I asked what was being done about this besides waiting for whoever it was to tell them how they did it.

Unfortunately "hoping" that the leak has been sealed is not a solution.
[About XDA developers] othermark:
I wrote the screen scraper suggestion, and that's a pretty unlikely scenario since those are usually used against high value targets for banking info/logins. Most harvesters use the outlook address book or mine the browser cache of victim machines. The most likely explanation is that this was a sql injection attack on the forum software and probably took place "many moons" ago. :D
[About XDA developers] Rinkink:
Ditto

Not sure if you want more confirmation, but I too have received Diablo III related fishing messages - to an address specific to this board.

My best bet is that someone sold a list of email address on...

Not a big issue for me as I'll just change my email address if the messages gets too much. Going to change my password just in case, but I haven't noticed anything strange.

Good luck!

XDA will never, ever ever ever sell E-mail adreses!
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
We have looked for any suspicious activity carried out by authorised users, and have found nothing so far.

I'm currently working backwards through years of vBulletin emails to see if there's anything from the past that could be an issue.

Your actual password isn't stored on, or transmitted to, XDA. It's stored in a hashed and salted form, which is more than can be said for many high profile sites unfortunately that were in the news recently...

Still, we'll not be happy until we can work out what's happened, no matter how long ago or recently it may have been.
[About XDA developers] Nerdfest:
Android App

I got hit with my one-off private domain email address as well. I don't know if it's related, but I did just log into the Android application a couple of hours before, and for the first time in many months.

Very disappointing.
[About XDA developers] mikef:
Not sure what there is to be disappointed about. The sharpest guys at the very top are aware of the problem and are actively looking into it.

Do you use the free app or the premium app? If is it the free app, I wonder if some ad is copying your email address somehow.
[About XDA developers] Nerdfest:
It's not a big deal, it's just that this is the third or fourth address (not from here, from other places) that have been compromised in the last year or so. Whether it was an add or not (it almost definitely was not), it was an exploit of some sort. Many people download software from XDA and it lowers the trust level.
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
An advert shouldn't be able to obtain anything like that. In fact, I don't think it's possible to, since your registration details are not transmitted.

When you log in, your user name (which anyone can see), and a hash of your password (not even your full password!) are sent to the server.

In return, if your login is verified, you are sent a session number which authenticates further requests.

There is no transmission of your email beyond the registration process that I can find.

I'm intrigued as to why none of my addresses were hit (I am in no way disbelieving anyone, rather just curious).

It seems that most users who have experienced this issue have been registered here for a while, and are not the most active of all posters.

I'm on phone so can't check the recent reports of the issue, but I've not yet seen it affect a user registered more recently.

I don't know if this is coincidence or not... I shall try to investigate.
[About XDA developers] Tann San:
Just for the record, I don't and never have used the XDA mobile app. I have logged in using my mobiles browser before though. I've only used a few roms, first on my HD2 and then on my Galaxy Note. Roms I've used are:

HD2

Energy

HyperDroid GBX

Galaxy Note

RocketRom GB

RocketRom ICS

Generally I start off with the stock browser and then I install Dolphin via the google store, I've only been using that for a few months though. I could start listing out all the apps I have installed atm but I doubt I could do that all the way back to to the past (^_^)
[About XDA developers] SUMM0NER:
Received the Diablo III spam email this morning too. :(
[About XDA developers] gdi2290:
just noticed the email in my spam folder (5 days old)

[EN]Diablo III Account Locked - Action Required

from pvc@www-9763e06e580.org
[About XDA developers] RoadHazard:
I also got the D3 phishing e-mail to the address I have registered here (just noticed it in my spam folder, seems like it was received two days ago). Although this is not the only site where I use that address, it sure seems likely that this is where it leaked from, considering what others have said.
[About XDA developers] plwalsh88:
I also received this same spam email. Any headway made on the investigation? In response to pulser_g2 above, I seem to be the most active poster of the ones in this thread who received the email (I didn't notice any of you mods/admins saying you received the email). I also seem to be the most recent registeree at April 2011. So I guess that would narrow down point of attack to no earlier than April 2011?
[About XDA developers] wbxv:
Also phished

I also got the Diablo/WoW phishing email to a only-used-here email address (xdaforums.com@mydomain.com).

I joined in March 2011, and have never posted previously, nor have I accessed the forum with an app. This is the first time I've logged into the forum in 2012.

Cheers.
[About XDA developers] NxNW:
also got this msg 8/29
[About XDA developers] EazyDude:
Same email received here. Would never have thought of XDA, but Google brought me here.

I've used the app, website, and downloaded ROMS.

A partial header if it's useful.
[About XDA developers] xargs1:
I got the same Blizzard phishing spam from the same Chinese IP last week to my xda-unique email address, so this is still ongoing. I probably haven't logged in to this forum in a year or more, so it's not related to forum activity.
[About XDA developers] xXJay_RXx:
I have this too. But on my second email account. Thing is, I don't play Diablo 3. Also someone said that it only seems to be affecting older accounts. Well I had an older account that I barely used registered to that account. When I couldn't figure out my password at the time I decided to make a new account. Ever since then I never touched that account. Fast forward to years later. I forget that the username was registered to the account. I check that email account's spam folder for a footlocker promo code n I seen that email. I found it weird because I don't play the game.
[About XDA developers] personality:

(Sorry for the useless one-word reply, but I figure that administrators need to know that many users are affected.)
[About XDA developers] Determined:
PWNED!

It looks like XDA is owned (again?) using one of recent recent vBulletin exploits, possibly faq.php 3.8.7 exploit. XDA currently runs 3.8.7.

Everybody, assume that all your data is compromised. If you use the same password on other websites -- CHANGE IT.
[About XDA developers] Saxtus:
For what is worth, I've changed my e-mail since my first post in this thread

and I haven't got any spam at the new address.

Would be possible, those that got the new batch of spam, to tell us

if they changed e-mail address since the first database compromise?

There are more ways than a database dump to get email addresses...

We've spent a considerable amount of time looking into this and haven't found anything which indicates a full database dump or a breach of that magnitude.

As we have said in a previous post, we are keeping an eye on things, and if anything indicates that a whole db dump has occurred we will be the first to say change your passwords, which is good practice to do in any event.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radeon_x:
Has anyone else noticed that the framerate when "flipping" in Flipboard degrades occasionally?

This started happening to me recently and I'm really at a loss as to what could be causing it. It normally goes like this: After rebooting, the performance is fine (i.e. looks like its running at ~60fps). After closing the app / switching to another app and then returning to Flipboard, all animations become really choppy (looks like they're running at ~20fps).

The really frustrating part is that it never used to be a problem. I've tried uninstalling, clearing data, the old version, the new version, etc, etc. Nothing is fixing it. I'm trying to narrow down if something else that I installed is causing the slowdown, but so far nothing is making sense. Also, nothing else on my phone is experiencing any performance problems.

Anyone else have the same issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] King Shady:
This happened to me when I first got my GS3 a month ago. Idk why but maybe there has been performance updates for the app - because Flipboard is buttery smooth now.

I have the AT&T Note flashed with the T-Mobile modem(test4.zip to be exact).

If I was to put an AT&T sim card in the phone, would the phone be able to connect to either 3G or 4G LTE?

I figured I would probably have to flash an AT&T modem, but was hoping for simplicity if I was to sell my Note for the TMO version.

2. after installing super user from custom recovery can we install stock recovery. as with custom recovery i am having many issue such as inbuilt defragment not working etc.

Superuser is automatically installed when you root. You do NOT need a custom recovery.

The recovery allows you to backup/restore, factory reset, and flash custom ROMs/mods/kernels.
