I don't think GMs will want that shared

but your name is one of the accounts if you were wondering

And this just contains account name and characters on the account? No other information posted? My password is strong and most of my characters are already in my sig.

This might suck for people who have tried to keep individual characters they play secret (i.e. Toons located in opposing guilds or old toons with bad reputations.

Cycling strong passwords won't help too much if one of the sociopaths on this server doesn't like something you do, and decides to write a script to crack your password for revenge.

That's a good point, as there are currently (to my knowledge) no limitations on login attempts in a time frame, leaving us vulnerable to brute force scripts. Maybe our wonderful devs want to add one, as a preventative measure? Dealing with scores of hacked accounts will be a much bigger headache in the long run...

Just so everyone knows, this is old news. This was released almost 2 months or more ago. Don't let it bug you. If someone wants to hack your account it's going to happen with or without this list.

Probably not related, but the client uses absurdly weak encryption when sending credentials to the login server (specifically, plain old DES with a static IV and key of ALL ZEROES).

If anyone is in a position to monitor your network traffic when you log in, they could have your account name and password within milliseconds. Not that there's p99-targetting spyware out there (why bother) but... security on EQ is really not worth getting worked up about.
