One of the major concerns was that users could not change their password, which is required to decrypt your files. To allay that concern, Mega <a href=\"https:\/\/mega.co.nz\/#blog_5\">now lets you change your password.<\/a> Users can also reset their password under the following scenarios: <\/p>\n<li>You are still logged in<\/li>\n<li>You are not logged in, but your account is empty (password resets with data present are considerably more tricky \u2014 we do not want a breach of your e-mail account to jeopardize the integrity of your files \u2014 and will be addressed at a later stage)<\/li>\n<p>The change doesn&#8217;t address all of the concerns, but it&#8217;s a good start. For the other concerns, security researchers will have to break Mega&#8217;s encryption and prove that it needs work. From there, Dotcom and his team of developers will hopefully fix any problems found. <\/p>\n<p>[h\/t: <a href=\"http:\/\/thenextweb.com\/insider\/2013\/02\/01\/kim-dotcom-puts-up-13500-bounty-for-first-person-to-break-megas-security-system\/\">The Next Web<\/a>]<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=iIXrr9GEZ1Q:2mcV2tXi3b4:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=iIXrr9GEZ1Q:2mcV2tXi3b4:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=iIXrr9GEZ1Q:2mcV2tXi3b4:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=iIXrr9GEZ1Q:2mcV2tXi3b4:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=iIXrr9GEZ1Q:2mcV2tXi3b4:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=iIXrr9GEZ1Q:2mcV2tXi3b4:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=iIXrr9GEZ1Q:2mcV2tXi3b4:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=iIXrr9GEZ1Q:2mcV2tXi3b4:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=iIXrr9GEZ1Q:2mcV2tXi3b4:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/iIXrr9GEZ1Q\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mega has been under a lot of scrutiny since it launched over a week ago, and not just from the copyright lobby.
