[COGlory]

Anyways, after a wee bit of digging, it appears that the domain is registered to one Cody Ward living at 151 Queen Mary Street in New South Wales.

Although this could be a cover identity.

Checking into it yourself, eh? 

I bet it is actually him, since his first several posts to the forum here were from a real Australian ISP. His later posts were through an anonymizing proxy; oops, too late. I've contacted the abuse department of that ISP with the relevant details. I also contacted the host of the password harvesting script and they've already taken it down pending investigation a few minutes after receiving my e-mail. I'm about to contact the host of the risker.in domain as well.

So, in English, this guy ain't coming back and tale-worlds forums doesn't have any security issues, and you're preventing further security issues for taleworlds/othersites also?/Armagan isn't going to die -cough-?

[Splintert]

it was a guy named "Taleworldsfanboy" or something.

Excellent news.   

EDIT - Queen Mary Street?  What the hell is this?   Bet the guy's a virgin, as well.

Oh, I got that popup yesterday. I'm glad I didn't type anything in.

Has anyone seen "Risker's dox?"

EDIT:  And I also find the "family" category very disturbing. 

[Feragorn]

What's that risker site anyways?

[Trevty]

People are idiots.

[McBeverage]

What's that risker site anyways?

Basically, from what I can tell, it's meant to be an identity database, linking people's various interwebz accounts including their passwords for all to see.

[Childe_Rolande]

I just checked out the risker site, and...that person needs to die. 

...

Yes.

[Sarejo]

What have we learnt here? Never get on the bad site of McBeverage. He WILL find you.

Thanks for the announcement. I'll be cautious.

[LuckyDuckly]

Thank Rick Sanchez I was lucky enough (get it, cuz my name is LuckyDuckly) absent when this travesty transpired. Being the naive idiot that I am when it comes to the internets, I would have likely handed over my information like a 75-year old ex-Amish (finish the rest of the joke please, I am too tired and I have been gone too long to care).

[Faranox]

Such honorless cads we have in our world...

Good work Janus!
