Security - Hackers accessed the data of members of the American forum Android Forums, which has more than a million members. NVIDIA has closed the developers area after an intrusion.
In a message, an Android Forums administrator warned Tuesday its members that their email addresses were certainly consulted by an intrusion in their database. Android Forums, with more than a million users, is a community of reference.
The Manager ordered everyone to change their passwords (encrypted and dirty), ensuring that the fault has been corrected and that the rest of the site has been verified. For him, it's probably a recovery of email by spammers addresses operation. Successful, it seems, if the forum addresses million has been collected.
