so if you have an account there, with a pw you use for pretty much everything, id recommend getting it changed, starting with ur email, paypal and battle net

Yeah, pretty fucked up. I use variations of my gom.tv password on several accounts so I decided to change my passwords. Apparently they just stored all passwords in a txt file without any form of encryption. Pretty ridiculous.

GOM.TV is the website where you stream and check the Korean GSL matches of Starcraft 2 by the way for those unaware (although you probably don't give a crap if you don't know what it is).

Don't know what GomTV.net but how fucking stupid do you have to be to have the same PW for different sites, really...?
