Security Warning​


First of all, I want to make something very clear.

If anyone on the site or in Discord messages you with something like "hey, I just finished my game, go check it out", and then sends you to some random site outside of LewdCorner, do not download it.

I am serious.

If it links outside of LewdCorner and they are trying to get you to download files directly from some off-site source, do not trust it unless it has been properly vetted. Far too many of these files end up being infected, compromised, or loaded with things you do not want on your system. Not every external link is malicious, but enough of them are that it is not worth gambling with your PC, your accounts, or your data.

The reason I am bringing this up is because Fallen Angel Productions' account was compromised.

LewdCorner's database is fine.
LewdCorner itself was not targeted.

The most likely scenario is simple password reuse across multiple sites, with one of those other sites being the actual point of compromise. That is exactly why I keep pushing people to use unique passwords and to stop reusing the same login across multiple platforms.

Please use common sense when downloading anything, and do not blindly trust off-site links just because they came from an account that looks familiar.



Bot Progress​


On to other news.

I am still actively running tests on the two Python bots I have been working on for LewdCorner.

  1. Image Fixer Bot
    This bot is being made to repair broken game images across the site. Right now, I am focusing on the regular /games section first before expanding it further.
  2. Post Bot
    This bot is currently on hold until I finish the image repair work. I do not want to re-enable or move forward with certain posting-related features until the image situation is handled first.

Once the broken images are in a much better state, I will be re-enabling overview images on the Latest Updates page.

That has been one of the bigger priorities, because there is no point in pushing presentation improvements while a large chunk of image content still needs cleanup.



Latest Updates / Games Field​


As for the /games section and the Latest Updates field, I am still planning to go back and fix the add-on I built for it.

That said, I still have a lot of other work ahead of it, so I want to be upfront and say that it is not abandoned, but it is also not the immediate first thing until the image repair work is out of the way.

There is still a lot left to do behind the scenes, and I would rather get the foundation cleaned up properly than rush half-finished fixes out.



Other News​


Also, it appears that ATF is no longer shutting down, which is good news, so I wanted to mention that as well.



Weekend AFK​


I also want to point out that I will be AFK this coming weekend.

It is my birthday, and while I am not exactly sure what I am doing yet, I likely will not be around much.

No, I am not saying my age.
Just know I am not in my 20s, and I am not in my 40s.



Birthday Note​


And just to be clear, I am not begging for money, and I am not forcing anyone to donate.

But if anyone feels like throwing the equivalent of a birthday coffee my way, I would appreciate it. I genuinely like trying good, weird, or random coffee shop drinks on my birthday, so that would be a nice little bonus.




Please stay safe, use common sense with downloads, and do not trust random unvetted off-site files.
 
I just keep an encrypted file with my password templates. Don't want to risk losing a password manager to a session hijacker, and the templates are easy for me to remember and hard for others to guess. Then I just put the changed characters for each website in the template list.

Almost forgot, Happy BDay, man.
 
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday and a wonderful weekend ahead!

I use a piece of paper for my passowrd and i got some of those flash drives that look like normal stuff hidden :)



I would not jump for joy over ATF they can still get shutdown so i would recommend backing stuff up
 
At least we don't have to do the outdated "change your password every 3 months" rule here. But the "don't reuse passwords" advice is solid.
With disposable VMs, you can do risk mitigation, but I guess the general advice should be simple: don't follow links.
 
Considering I (and a few others, but mostly me) got a good reaming over discord over proper internet security stuff and see other people fall for it, I don't mind beimg forced to see this thread.
 
Why do i feel like basic cybersecurity knowledge has weaned in the past decades. I understand why older folks get got but it seems a lot of younger people have the same issues.
 
Why is there no two thumbs up react for a solid OP like this?

Strongly recommend a decent length pass-phrase for every single place you need a password. Given most cracking is not done by direct human effort, length is you friend, and forced capitalization and special characters are not especially useful.

eg: qDgr6x!w is crap.

eg: lewdcornerhasCGIslutsIlike!!! is much better. (not mine, and make your own).

Every site can be it's own hint to your pass-phrase. Use language/spelling you'll remember, good with l33t? got texting on lock? Sindarin, Klingon, whatever, romanized, sweet.
 
Normally those forced ones are just annoying, but on this occasion I appreciate the information about ATF being pressed into my face 👀
For the security stuff...
well, as long as 123qwert and such stay on the top of most used passwords, I don't have much hope, but without trying it would get even worse....


Also happy B-day 🎂 and have lots of fun 🥳
 
happy birthday

I'm glad and grateful for the warnings; it's not the first time I've had to completely reformat my PC because of some son of a bitch who gave me a virus.
Excellent news about the ATF; pages like that and Lewd Corner are unfortunately very rare to find.
And while we're at it, congratulations to everyone who makes it possible for us to enjoy the games we love, thank you!

Happy Birthday.
And I'm also very grateful for your reminder, which prompted me to re-examine my password.
