Email asking for security update

[GrahamS]

If you receive an email purporting to be from us advising that security details have been compromised then please do NOT click on any links contained within as it's likely to contain a virus

The email is not legitimate

 

[trax]

Out of interest how do they get all the email addresses?

Someone must have hacked the site to send out the mail from 'Sletti' on Saturday night?

Thanks,

It didn't read like a Graham message so I thought I would pop back here to check first.

sadly that is what it is looking like :thumbsdow:thumbsdow

I suggest as a matter of caution, everyone should change their password.

I can confirm a hack and would highly recommend every user change their passwords

I've just logged in and got a message saying that my password was 700 dyas old and needed to be changed, which I've done, was this message to change password genuine?

Yes that's ok Geoff. I'm trying to force everybody to change their password

What a ballache. As a result the amount of junk I've received has massively increased over the past few days. No coincidence, surely, or is there another reason why I have become very attractive to all those Russian ladies?

Yes me also 19xx days old:laugh:
Please change your password, now I've changed it I'll never remember the new one

I've changed my password :thumbsup: it's probably North Korea looking for Nuclear secrets :grin:

 

[GrahamS]

If you use the same password on other sites (you shouldn't!) then I would advise you to also change your password on those sites. And make them all different

 

[davidball]

i got the email and changed passwords. what should i do now

 

[francisn]

As Graham advised, change the password on other sites where you used your original password.

password crap

Oh, for goodness sake. About as much security as my bank! (also crap!)

Except this place is run by volunteers unlike a bank. You are out of order:thumbsdow

All changed...no big deal. Thanks to all in trying to keep a tight ship. I was hoping for a lottery win or a deceased relative leaving me 15million U.Sdollars. Spoilt my fun

We don't own the server and we didn't write the software this forum (and hundreds of others) runs on. Given those 2 facts if you can come up with a way to make this place totally secure I'm all ears. Seriously, I'm open to suggestions. You've had to change a password. If you think that's all the management team have had to do over the last 48 hours you'd be mistaken

On top of what the others have noted, judging by the number of us who haven't changed our passwords for 3 or 4 years, we aren't helping ourselves either
