Reporting News: Roll20.net Data Breach? Yikes.

So this was posted up recently on Roll20.net as they have been listed as one of the sites that got listed with a data-breach.  <---Direct link of post.

If you use Roll20, I suggest you log in and update your information, change your password.

From the looks of things, your payment information should be safe as they use Paypal and Stripe for transactions which they assure never hit the servers. 

As a secondary precaution, I'd log into the services connected and changed those passwords as well. Call me a bit paranoid, but in these types of situations its best to follow through with changing passwords on the site in question along with any sites that are connected to the main site.

Stay safe.

- Evil out!

G+'s final days, Count down to April 2nd, Official Email.

I made note awhile back, when I wrote this post here about G+ Shutting down some time soon.. 

Well that soon is here. 

I finally got the email telling me when its happening and what to expect. 

Looks like April 2nd is the deadline. 

So if you have photos and communities on G+, start downloading all your stuff ASAP.

G+ was an interesting concept when it was first announced and I think they had some nice plans for making a social network that was connected to everything, like Blogger, Youtube and other various Google properties. 

But Google is like a small child with lots of ideas, just implementing them with out much research. Then as time passes and its not the new shiny anymore, or doesn't interest them they stop paying attention to it, until they basically just drop support for it. (Ehem, iGoogle, Google Wave anyone?)

Anyhow, RIP G+!

Here is the email, which I'm sure if you have an account, you'll be getting this shortly.

From: "Google+ Team" <noreply@plus.google.com>
Date: February 1, 2019 at 3:09:39 AM CST

Subject: Your personal Google+ account is going away on April 2, 2019

You've received this email because you have a consumer (personal) Google+ account or you manage a Google+ page.
In December 2018, we announced our decision to shut down Google+ for consumers in April 2019 due to low usage and challenges involved in maintaining a successful product that meets consumers' expectations. We want to thank you for being part of Google+ and provide next steps, including how to download your photos and other content.

On April 2nd, your Google+ account and any Google+ pages you created will be shut down and we will begin deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts. Photos and videos from Google+ in your Album Archive and your Google+ pages will also be deleted. You can download and save your content, just make sure to do so before April. Note that photos and videos backed up in Google Photos will not be deleted.

The process of deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts, Google+ Pages, and Album Archive will take a few months, and content may remain through this time. For example, users may still see parts of their Google+ account via activity log and some consumer Google+ content may remain visible to G Suite users until consumer Google+ is deleted.

As early as February 4th, you will no longer be able to create new Google+ profiles, pages, communities or events.
See the full FAQ for more details and updates leading up to the shutdown.
If you're a Google+ Community owner or moderator, you may download and save your data for your Google+ Community. Starting early March 2019, additional data will be available for download, including author, body, and photos for every community post in a public community. Learn more

If you sign in to sites and apps using the Google+ Sign-in button, these buttons will stop working in the coming weeks but in some cases may be replaced by a Google Sign-in button. You'll still be able to sign in with your Google Account wherever you see Google Sign-in buttons. Learn more

If you've used Google+ for comments on your own or other sites, this feature will be removed from Blogger by February 4th and other sites by March 7th. All your Google+ comments on all sites will be deleted starting April 2, 2019. Learn more
If you're a G Suite customer, Google+ for your G Suite account should remain active. Contact your G Suite administrator for more details. You can also expect a new look and new features soon. Learn more

If you're a developer using Google+ APIs or Google+ Sign-in, click here to see how this will impact you.
From all of us on the Google+ team, thank you for making Google+ such a special place. We are grateful for the talented group of artists, community builders, and thought leaders who made Google+ their home. It would not have been the same without your passion and dedication.
