The admin team are in the process of commissioning a new forum server. We will post more information as it becomes available. Once the Kodi forum comes back online we will provide instructions on how to complete a reset of your Kodi forum password. If you have used the same username and password on any other site, you should follow the password reset/change procedure for that site. Users must assume their Kodi forum credentials and any private data shared with other users through the user-to-user messaging system is compromised.There is currently no time estimate for the forum server being online again our focus is being thorough, not being quick. ![]() This will also impact the Kodi pastebin and wiki sites. The forum server has been taken offline while this activity completes. The admin team are investigating how best to perform a global password reset and how best to assure the integrity of the server host and associated software.This requires actions from the team, and forum users: At the current time, we have found no evidence of unauthorised access to the underlying server that hosts the MyBB software.Īlthough MyBB stores passwords in an encrypted format we must assume all passwords are compromised. The nightly full backups that were downloaded expose all public forum posts, all team forum posts, all messages sent through the user-to-user messaging system, and user data including forum username, email address used for notifications, and an encrypted (hashed and salted) password generated by the MyBB (v1.8.27) software. The admin team have disabled the account used in the breach and have conducted an initial review of team infrastructure the team member had access to. The account owner has confirmed they did not access the admin console to perform these actions. It also downloaded existing nightly full-backups of the database. The account was used to create database backups which were then downloaded and deleted. MyBB admin logs show the account of a trusted but currently inactive member of the forum admin team was used to access the web-based MyBB admin console twice: on 16 February and again on 21 February. This post confirms that a breach has taken place. In the last 24 hours we became aware of a dump of the Kodi user forum (MyBB) software being advertised for sale on internet forums. In addition, the Kodi wiki and paste sites are now back online. If you need help while we recover/rebuild the systems, you can find a read-only April snapshot of the forum on the Internet Archive here.

But not the revolutionary rework it needs. ![]() We’ve seen some improvements, and that’s not nothing. Many defenses rely upon unbroken trust in a central authority (the company). has for years faced criticisms about the basic structure of its security by prominent cryptographers and technologists. So you need to be thinking about how to continuing protecting people by making the service accessible *even after the block.*Īnd this is where we start getting to my core concerns. You can’t keep an independent, destabilizing service from being blocked in authoritarian regimes, you can only delay it. Moreover, Snowden questioned why Telegram still encourages “dangerous cloud messaging instead of secret chats.” He also advised Telegram to come up with features that may help the people by keeping the service accessible “even after the block” by authoritarian regimes. But this is unsustainable, which he should know: after all, he was forced from Russia for not doing enough favors at Vkontakte. If we presume is acting morally, this might sound like an argument for Telegram to do whatever they can to keep their Iranian presence alive. Snowden then tweeted to Durov and reminded him of what happened when he was forced from Russia for not doing enough favors at Vkontakte (VK), a Russian-based online social media and social networking service founded by Durov. Should Telegram shut one Iranian channel down to preserve access to all the others? Most would say “of course.” It’s more important to keep that tether to their ecosystem alive, right? They’re in something close to a monopoly position, where the fallback for many is unsafe SMS. And here’s where we start getting into complexity. Today we saw the communications minister demand a big channel be shut down. On the other, it means will face increasing pressure over time to collaborate with the Iranian government’s demands for this or that. The latest example of it is the suspension of “amadnews” Telegram channel. Snowden, on the other hand, highlighted the fact that due to its public channels the company will face pressure from the Iranian government. Be careful – there are lines one shouldn’t cross. If confirmed, we'll have to block such a channel, regardless of its size and political affiliation.Īnd then came the suspension order from the CEO:Ī Telegram channel (amadnews) started to instruct their subscribers to use Molotov cocktails against police and got suspended due to our “no calls for violence” rule. It happened after Mohammad-Javad Azari Jahromi, Iranian telecommunications minister, tweeted Pavel Durov, the CEO, and founder of Telegram.Ĭalls for violence are prohibited by the Telegram rules. Competing services are often blocked, but Telegram makes concessions to avoid this (like setting up local CDNs ).Įarlier today, Telegram shut down a channel that called for “violent protests” against the Iranian government. Its “public channels” are an important source of news for many low-tech users. ![]() He then gave a brief background of Telegram in Iran due to the sudden political unrest and protests against the government and how the authorities can use Telegram app to track user conversations for political advantages since Iran has more than 40 million people using the app.īackground: has a special position in Iran. Some presumed I just don’t understand how channels work. Many don’t seem to understand why I object to having unsafe, censorable public channels in an app that is promoted as a secure messenger. According to Telegram FAQ page, “Channels are a tool for broadcasting public messages to large audiences.” In his first tweet, Snowden wondered why an app like Telegram has unsafe and censorable public channels when it claims to provide secure messenger service. But today, citing the tense situation in Iran, the whistleblower has posted a series of tweets explaining why Telegram Messenger app is unsafe and it can be secured with little effort. In fact, NSA documents leaked by him showed how Microsoft handed over plain text Skype chats of users to the agency. For years, the ex-NSA (National Security Agency) whistleblower Edward Snowden has been raising awareness about so-called secure messaging applications or programs and publically criticised apps like Skype, Google Allo, and Telegram. ![]() ![]() This new cross-play support in We Were Here Forever will make it easier than ever for players to experience something thrilling together – even if the puzzles may test your friendship at times!”Įxpect to see We Were Here Forever release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PS5 come January 31st 2023.
