Online image sharing community Imgur notified users of a potential data breach which occurred in 2014 which affected 1.7 million accounts. Imgur said that email addresses and passwords might have been compromised. The company said that it got an email on November 23 by a security researcher and said that he had data that included information of Imgur users. “Our Chief Operating Officer received the email late night on November 23rd and immediately corresponded with the researcher to learn more about the potential breach. He simultaneously notified Imgur’s Founder/CEO and Vice President of Engineering. Our Vice President of Engineering then arranged to securely receive the data from the researcher and began working to validate that the data belonged to Imgur users,” Imgur said in the blog post.
This is why I use and donate to community-supported file/image hosts like mixtape.moe, catbox.moe, kek.gg, vgy.me, ect. and you should too.

>>39 But I'm the OP, it was an acceptable sub discussion. The real dilemma is having a long-term file/image storage solution that doesn't have what happened to Imgur happen to it.
that sub-discussion was actually completely unacceptable and terribly shameful.
It went with the general theme of long-term posterity on the Internet. We have archived world4ch threads, there is also a need for reliable and stable hosts for images and other media.

No, that's the topic that spawned the discussion. What it devolved into was a pointless argument about rhetorical questions founded by someone with little to no reading comprehension.
I'm Queen of England, yes I'm the real Queen All you other Queens of England are just imitating So won't the real Queen of England, please stand up, Please stand up, Please stand...ow, I think I broke my hip

Fuck Elizabeth II, she didn't object to her oil drilling shit of a grandson from being engaged to that twice divorced, half Jew, half dindu. The English/British Monarchy hasn't been legitimate since after Cromwell. I now support its abolition and the establishment of a British Republic.
>>63,65 Yes, it is. Although, I use mixtape.moe and catbox.moe more often.

>>68 Why would anyone manage their uploaded content there? If it's a temporary vessel for file transfer, use something that will expire in hours. If you are looking for permanency, use proper hosting.

Because they're a bunch of dummy cats. It just shows that if Imgur can fuck up this bad with user accounts, then they can fuck up regarding other data as well.

>>69,70 I suspect it's in part because Imgur, although lending themselves to typical imagehosting, also presents itself and is primarily a social media site and trying to make revenue as a social media site rather than a nonprofit project like most other image hosts.

>>71 That's precisely why it's bad to use. It's trying to become some cancerous "social media" platform instead of just simple image hosting.

>>1 Can these sites handle even a fraction of imgur traffic? imgur is on the same bandwidth league as Reddit itself.
