Yeah but...
That's like a recording engineer going to track a band and forgetting to plug in the microphone.
Some things you just do out of habit.
That's true of a highly skilled, high profile hacker. A site like this is more likely to attract the kind of hacker that runs a program that's written by someone else, possibly to try exploit a known vulnerability that they don't know how to exploit but someone else has.
Ehhh mafia trends towards attracting more folk on the upper end of the bell-curve. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if - even if they are a script kiddie - they wouldn't overlook covering their tracks.

You are both right in the sense that mafia is a game that appeals to nerds and in this specific instance hackers in general, so the odds are pretty high that there are good ones in the player pool, but also that you probably don't need to be a genius hacker to crack mafiascum if you really want to focus on doing something so lame.
You could think of implementing a 2-step verification process if this is a recurrent problem.
I don't think it's a shotty setup. Shotty didn't seem motivated or bright enough to do this.
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.
You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

To add to this, some users may not have received the email at all. I haven't received any notifications since the crash, and I'm starting to suspect that the emails are being blocked if it's not something on mafiascum.net's end.
I'd say not recieving notifications is probably on the Mafiascum end given what i can tell of the issue.
The email i am talking about is the one that has this topic in the message, and according to google "Why is this message in Spam? It contains content that's typically used in spam messages."

Unless you sent account information (password and/or security questions) in a private message (which you shouldn't have been doing), you should be fine. All they would have been able to get from communication re: cards would be transaction IDs. I'm more concerned about addresses being exposed.
Still, it's good practice to change your passwords periodically (and more frequently the more critical the information/access is).

Good to know, thanks.

I didn't get them either and I don't have a spam folder so they can't have gone there. My profile is set to allow admin but not other users to send email so I wonder if that affected it? Although I assume they were sent from an admin account.
