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

@BURN they should at least use bcrypt

That’s my go-to for any password encoding

Hopefully this gets iRacing to open up their oAuth portal to external apps and someone can develop something more secure.

It really shouldn’t be that hard. It’s an account management and CDN software, it honestly can’t be that hard to build a properly hardened version

@BURN yeah. MD5 for as long as I can remember is compromised.
