Nick Denton's discussions

@VeeArrrSix: From the statement released by Gnosis, seems this was general hacker solidarity. Read more

@Whack-A-mole: You can certainly trust that we've received a huge wake-up call. Obviously, we changed passwords as soon as we realized, but not before the hackers had copied the user records. We're upgrading the encryption of the user database. And a security firm will be advising on further steps, particularly to do… Read more

@Roberto G.: We will certainly not taunt them in the belief that we are inviolable. Read more

@14Kgold:betastar misses MizJ: When you get a chance, do dig out the numbers you're talking about. I'd love to be able to describe more convincingly the balancing act we're attempting between frequent commenters and the millions of women we're trying to reach. Read more

@Jessysaurusrex (regina): Well, I wouldn't exactly say I'm enjoying myself. But it's an interesting discussion. And I am quite bowled over by how much you care about the site. Or cared, in some cases. Read more

@Thus Spake Kate is effulgent.: No possibility of drunken, tearful reconciliation? Read more

@Brontolona: Yes, you can absolutely request it now. We'll be in touch as soon as the functionality is ready. Read more

@14Kgold:betastar misses MizJ: Actually, that's not remotely true. Jezebel readership runs more than double the level of a year ago. Though this incident has reminded us that breakneck growth can be dangerous. Read more

@Jessysaurusrex (regina): We're trying really hard to allow for communities to develop and thrive — while still pursuing our wider editorial mission. It's a challenge. The open forums have helped and we'll continue to support them. Read more

@14Kgold:betastar misses MizJ: I see comments from you on various stories as recently as Friday. But, anyway, if you feel so unhappy about the site, I entirely understand if you go elsewhere. Personally, I love how Jezebel is breaking stories this year. But I'm not in the target audience. Read more

@HonkyGeisha: The fun and the daring are the heart and the soul of the organization. But the smug definitely got knocked out of us yesterday and today. Read more

@gertymac: We're working on a way not just to delete an account but also to erase all comments made with it. It should be ready later this week. You can let me know right here if you want to nuke your account; but you'll also be able to do it from your profile page. #requestdeletion. Read more

@14Kgold:betastar misses MizJ: Actually, in the new layout, we're going to explicitly recognize this fact. Much of the time, the role of the writers is merely to set the subject line of the discussion. The actual discussion, analysis and wit is provided by the commenters. We're bringing in a new kind of post called… Read more

@Janet.Jopler: There is a picture of me with a pie over my head from a few years ago. That's the best I can do for the moment.

@Jessysaurusrex (regina): You know who called the commenters "peasants," yes? It was Richard Lawson, noted humorist and a former commenter himself. Read more

@lil red: Yeah, we were growing fast. We'd scored some big stories. And our tech team was focused on the new layout. The security of our infrastructure — and most importantly, the user data — hadn't been seriously challenged. It was as if we were feeling good — and didn't have time for the annual medical checkup. Read more

@brunetteburdette: We're working on that. Until then, you can make your username and password unrecognizable. Read more

@brunetteburdette: We're working on that. Until then, you can make your username and password unrecognizable. Read more

@Gearhead_42: I'm told there is no way the hackers could access Facebook accounts through this breach here on Gawker. Read more

Hey, I'm jumping in here to express my apologies both to Jalopnik commenters and to the writers, who are dealing with these questions even though they're still partly in the dark. The comments add so much to Jalopnik. And our thanks has been to expose other accounts that might share the password you use here. I'm here… Read more
