Bikeland database compromise - Details

This morning Bikeland's database was compromised in what appears to be a random attack by an unknown source which managed to steal emails and passwords. We do not know how many, but it seems likely they got through a good portion of our member list. As a result we have reset ALL user passwords. You will need to use the password retrieval tool to get your new password, after which you can change it as desired.

Because Bikeland stores no personal information (names, phone numbers etc) or financial information (ie. from people who purchased from our store), no critical info has been stolen.

However, if you use the same email address and password on other sites, we strongly suggest you change your password on those sites immediately (BOTH the same, sites that use just the same email address OR password are not at risk). When hackers steal a list of emails & passwords, they can then try logging into other popular services with those credentials. If you have a habit of using the same login elsewhere, this means you are now vulnerable to unauthorized access on those sites. So again, change your password on sites that share the same email and password.

Our apologies to our members for this rather large inconvenience. The vulnerability has been fixed but unfortunately the damage is already done.

Only the password is reset. Username is unchanged. Just use the "Forgot password" link to have your new password emailed to you.

I am assuming the passwords were in plain text, not hashed. Are you going to change to a hashed password database?

Exactly, 15 year old software means hashed passwords weren't exactly a thing yet. We do have a software update on the horizon which would include modern password protection.

The ZRXOA was hit last week; luckily all the data was backed up. They went back online today,...
