AMD Raptr Gamer-community Extension Got Hacked

AMD Raptr Gamer-community Extension Got Hacked

Not sure if you actually had used it as it is a POS of an application that comes with AMD Catalyst these days, but the Raptr service has been hacked. Raptr is a NVIDIA GeForce Experience look-a-like application.

CEO Dennis Fong states that the Raptr service has been hacked, and the attackers may have stolen details such as usernames, first- and last-names (names given during sign-up), e-mail addresses, and Raptr password hashes (without salt).

He asks all users to change their passwords, with new ones that are tough (mix of capital and small letters, numbers, and special characters). If your Raptr password is similar to passwords you used on other online services (eg: e-mail accounts), you must change them as well.

Maintaining the highest level of security around your Raptr account information is of the utmost importance to us, so we're very sorry to inform you that some Raptr user data may have been recently compromised in an attack similar to hacking activities that have targeted other high-profile sites and services such as Xbox Live and Sony's PlayStation Network.

User names, email addresses, password hashes, and some first and last names may have been accessed. This means that although the passwords are hashed, users with weak passwords are vulnerable to unauthorized access. It's important to note that our two-factor authentication system used for redeeming Raptr Reward Points ensures that even if your Raptr account was among those compromised, the points you've earned as a Raptr member are protected.

Although the potential risk to Raptr users is pretty minimal, we urge you to access any accounts on other sites and services in which you use the same login and password associated with your Raptr account and change the related password(s) immediately.

Reset your password at your earliest convenience in order to help safeguard your Raptr account. In doing so, we strongly advise you to use a password that is reasonably complex and not associated with another site/service account.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact Raptr's Customer Service group.

We're extremely sorry about this situation and are committed to further improving account security going forward.
Sincerely,
Dennis Fong
Founder & CEO, Raptr

Uninstall, delete your account and never look back guys ... well that's the same with the GeForce Experience app of course.

Is it more of a POS than Geforce experience? I mean, I always uncheck install for geforce experience because I dislike all this, for me, unnecessary bloat. But for people who don't know about settings etc., is it worse? And if so, how?

Calling raptr POS app is stupid. I like the app, it is well designed, optimizing games is optional, it offers a lot of nice features at one place instead of installing 1000000 programs to do them and the thing i like most, the program rewards you for gaming. After year of using it i earned amount of points with which i could redeem on of few available in there games.

nVidia will not reward you, right? And they will tell you your 3,5GB+0,5GB gpu is the product they advertised.

You can see it here, it's an old app which has been around long time before AMD added it to their installer http://raptr.com/download
It's more bloated than GFE, and it's uninstaller did and maybe even still does not remove it completely.
I found it POS too while I had AMD, but each to theirs.
