Hadn't seen this posted, but for anyone who uses Trading Paints in conjunction with iRacing you need to go in and change passwords NOW!

There was a leak of 270,000 accounts with emails/passwords in md5 format (easily reversible to plaintext)

If you use the service make sure to reset your passwords asap and if you use the password shared on other services you should make sure to change it as well

Wow they really didn't try at all to be even somewhat secure.

Not even the bare minimum of effort. It’s really disappointing.

A first year CS student knows better than to md5 hash passwords, let alone without a salt
