It doesn't appear that Rennlist, Pelican, or 924board were impacted, but many of you may also have memberships in sites that were compromised. Word to the wise, consider changing all of your forum passwords...

Useless news if they dont list the forums that were affected so everybody can check if they are on the list or not.
Anyways...whats the use of tech forum ids?

The value of forum credentials is that most people reuse the same credentials at every website. So attackers can use this to gain access to other sites and to perform other types of identity theft. It's also likely if they got passwords that they got challenge-response questions and other demographic data that would be useful for identity theft.
