Gawker Hacked. If You've Left a Comment on a Nick Denton Site, Change Your Password ASAP.

December 12, 2010 at 12:47 pm PT

Have you left a comment on one of Gawker Media’s sites? If so, you should change your password there, and on any other sites where you’ve used the same login/password combination, as soon as possible. Gawker says its “user databases appear to have been compromised” by hackers. More background from Mediaite and The Next Web.

To the ten people “authorized” to comment on their site, I’m sure this is depressing news….

In other words, they like to ban people for saying even remotely critical things about them or their opinions, professionally, and despite the commenter being right or making good sense. Pretty heavy-handed, unfair, and just plain shit behavior. Then there’s the whole issue of them even qualifying as professional to begin with but that’s another matter.
