As an fyi on the Private Notes thing, all admins can see any private note they are directly linked to...we can't go crawling through people's inboxes or anything like that.
yes, helloif you know anything about how computers workyou can turn this into "any person on who has access to an administrator account can see any private note (ps this person is not necessarily an admin)"

Maybe the admin system doesn't allow for admins to crack open anyone's list of notes and read them

Instead of coming up with a longwinded rebuttal, including a few lines about how stupid you are, i'm just going to post a link to a note: http://www.furaffinity.net/viewmessage/972564/
14:59 < yak[away]> I wanted the status update to be 'yes we we hacked. yes we have everything under cntrol. we are currently figuring out the extent of the damage. so far we know that 41 people including admins had their notes leaked and some people had their galleries deleted; the latter we can restore. I will post more updated as we have them'
I downloaded the Gawker database and ran every FA admin's username, and if they listed it, email address through it. I got two results other than Pinkuh.A possible match for Irreverent. They list no email address on their FA page, and the email doesn't seem to support a match.Then there's Rhainor, or Gawker user zachcoggin. Email addresses match. The irony here is his FA page says "Greetings. My name, as you can see, is Rhainor. No, it's not my Real name; I'm not about to give my Real name across an unsecured web site.", yet it seems he used his real name for his Gawker username.
Did you account for every FA admin's alternate username(s)? Running "Preyfar" through the aforementioned Slate widget gives you: Your password was released, and it's been decrypted. You should change it ASAP. Hmm...
But it isn't Princess Piche's fault. He's only human after all.
Yes it really stopped the attack. That's why the site is working fine right now.Oh, wait. No it's not.
They sure do have some important things to talk about in the admin treehouseforums.
