Or maybe I should just join you, resistance is futile after all.

We have had working jet packs for forty years, they just suck in reality.

haydenaurion: Not yet, is it good?
I watched it on YouTube recently, it's good, a really good 30 minutes or more of you time wasted.

Maybe I should have said, wasted time. But I recommend watching it wasted too.

The water jetpacks are reality, i'ts only a matter of time when one invents one that can 'repel', everything but themselves.

You should give the water jetpack a try. You might change your opinion.

Why would I want to use a water pack when we have real combustion jet packs that suck less than water packs but still suck more than they should.

In fairness, those water packs are mad fun. Assuming you have or can rent a jetski, and have access to a lake or relatively calm cove or something, they're really great. I didn't bother watching the linked video so I don't know if it's representative, but - to totally diverge from what should have been a thrown away one-liner and be serious - those water jet packs are really fun - much more fun than any jet pack demonstration I've seen has looked.

In all honesty I'm pretty much just saying stuff while I wait for morning meds to kick in and I can be coherent.

Did you factor in the 'real' and 'fun' factors?

ne_zavarj: So is this means the GOG Galaxy client insecure ?
avatar
OneFiercePuppy: No. You know better. Correlation != causation, and all that.

More precisely, with the (likely large) influx of new users picking up Galaxy and Witcher 3 and the otehr fairly new, AAA games that GOG has very recently released, there's bound to be both more attention, and more accounts made with very poor security. How many new accounts have been made in the last ten weeks with password equal to a simple variant of username, or with the same password on an already-compromised email account that got the notification of the account creation and such?

Sure, Galaxy could be insecure, but I've worked IT and infosec for decades, and I can tell you, humans are the greatest weakness in any computer system. Always.
The thing is I had this account for years and my email requires phone verification to get in sooo I have no idea how the "hacker" could get my password

Both are real one doesn't require you to stay over a water source.

In any case, I think the gog staff really need to look into this (whether it's Galaxy or the site itself) and keep an eye out just to make sure this isn't a potentially more serious breach.

Furusu: Welp I noticed today while trying to log into GOGalaxy that "user" is not found when using my email.
I'm still logged on the gog site though and by checking my account settings I noticed my email and password got changed. I sent a support ticket but apparently support doesn't work on weekends, so some random guy can now use my account to download some games.
When I tried changing the email back to mine it told me to log-in which is silly since I am logged in on the site.
Am I just supposed to wait until monday without the ability to use GOGalaxy ?
I am confused by this and your subsequent posts. Could you please elaborate on the password thing. You've said you noticed your password was changed, how did you notice this?

You'd then subsequently stateed that you've no idea how the hacker could get your password.

I don't use Galaxy enough to know what's going on here, but it appears to me as though someone is "showing you" your password. No product would ever do that.

Maybe someone could fill me in here as to what's going on.

Tried logging into galaxy today, using my normal email, user was not found, went to gog.com and I'm still logged in on the site. I went into account settings and noticed my email got changed, so did my password.

AND the site is telling me to log-in when I try to change the email back to my own so I'm stuck.

It's the password thing that's bothering me. You say it got "changed", are you actually now just seeing a load of "*****" characters? that's not meant to reflect the length of your password.

The email thing is more interesting. Did it get changed to an address you recognise? Possibly a family member etc. Are you using a computer in a shared environment like an internet cafe?

GEE I WONDER IF THE PASSWORD GOT CHANGED IF MY PASSWORD ISN'T WORKING.

I wouldn't be saying the account got hacked by someone if i recognized the email, read the first post god dammit.
Who the hell goes to internet cafes in 2015?

Heres the email I'm seeing in my account settings.

That is not helpful. I'm trying to help you.

You haven't explained how your password isn't working. you appear to be able to access your account (because you claim the email is different), yet you say the password is changed. How can you access an account where the password has changed?
