OK this was posted on my torrent site (not what.cd) so if you use what.cd then you might want to check out your password and change it.  I don't use what.cd so I don't know if they notified there members or have this posted on there site.  I just wanted to pass on the info.... 

 posted on 11-13-07 (on another Torrent site)

Oh and if you are/were a member of what.cd.  Change your password right now. They got hacked and are unsure if the hacker got any passwords. ie: he's probably got them.  Also we'd like to remind everyone that it's more than a good idea to have different passwords for every site your on.

It's a torrent site (to download music, programs, games...).  I wasn't a member of that one but I know others here are or where. So I couldn't tell you if they are a music torrent only or what.  Some torrent sites only cater to certain downloads.

Oh. Ok. Thanks for the reply Smartmom. 

I can't use torrent cause I'm clueless as to how to use it...But that's something I'm thinking of learning to do in the future. Seems like everyone other than me uses it for something!!! :)

yes, what.cd notified their memmbers. What.cd has a staff thats very open with their community. This hacker issue has all been taken care of. Even if the person got the passwords which I highly doubt they were stored in salted MD5 so to break the encryption is highly unlikely.

uhm.... is it encrypted, or just hashed and salted? if it's just hashed and salted, that's not much protection....
