Every Nairalander should be mandate to update their password. Most of our usernames and password are being sold on the dark web.

A link got shared in an OSINT group to verify if our data had been compromised, and I noticed many Nigerian websites, including Nairaland, were identified as compromised

Upon investigating the extent of the data breach on Nairaland, I discovered many usernames and passwords displayed were still functional with active users still utilizing them.

What makes the situation even more concerning is that our passwords are not even encrypted, the compromised also includes social media accounts and email addresses of each users. Most of us use a single password to log in to our email and social media accounts which makes it even more dangerous.

We need start taking the privacy and security of our data much more seriously, most people don't care because they don't have anything to hide which is very bad.

He who alleges must prove. I will give you my Nairaland alt via email and you provide the pw also via email

They posted just enough for you to search and login to the credentials as proof, and this is the same with other Nigerian websites i searched. Most of them know their data has been breached but they don't bother to let user's know these details or prefer to just deny it.

Then there's really no benefit changing passwords na. Cos it's just a matter of time for it to get compromised

Most of those details we're gotten via phishing


It happens to any social media


Seun is backward and slow

2FA on a traditional website?


Jeez


I think Seun needs let go of Nairaland to a more reasonable admin who's a programmer
