Mumsnet insight - email to update details

[JenniMoo]

I'm on the survey panel and had an email to check my details. I clicked through and it went to a non-MN domain. Has everyone had this email? Is it genuine? I don't really won't to add details to the page if it's a phishing email, but if it is they've already got a lot of info on me, so I guess it's genuine...

[DarkEvilMoon]

Don't assume, people can collect a lot of details fairly easily, try reporting your post to bring it to HQ's attention quicker. Hopefully they will be able to give you a definitive answer quickly

[hospitalworry]

I got it too
Interested too?

[RumAppleGinger]

I'm on the panel but haven't received anything. I would be wary too.

[AnnieOnAMapleLeaf]

I got it as well. It seemed a bit odd to me too.

[cozietoesie]

I'd welcome a view from MN. Unfortunately, once a site gets large the phishers become interested so a Yay or Nay would be useful.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Watching, I also got the email.

[VivaLeBeaver]

I've reported the thread to mn to hopefully get an answer.

[missorinoco]

Bollox. I thought this was genuine. Please let us know if not MN.

[cozietoesie]

It might well be, miss - but it would only be a matter of time before they swooped anyway.

[TheColdDoesBotherMeAnyway]

It's worrying if it's fake - the link contains an old mn nickname, my real name and children's birth dates which suggests that mn has been hacked. Update please MNHQ!

[cathcustard]

Bugger, I've updated mine. Is it fake?

[cozietoesie]

It might not be - stay cool until MNHQ get back.

[cozietoesie]

As long as none of you have given out cc details, you're OK at the moment.

[TheColdDoesBotherMeAnyway]

Yes but if the site has been hacked someone has my email, name, address, children's dobs and my local mn nickname. Which is slightly worrying...

[sliceofsoup]

marking place to see MNHQs response. I have updated mine.

[AssembleTheMinions]

Oh no! I completed it. gullible

[CoffeeTwo]

Shit I filled it out too

[toothlessoldhag]

I got it too. I haven't clicked. Awaiting response from MNHQ.

[EeyoresTail]

Oops, me too.
Please comment soon MNHQ

[cozietoesie]

All of that is straightforward, TheCold - and might well be quite authentic if MN have all that on you. Don't worry at the moment.

[YetAnotherHelenMumsnet]

Hang fire, everyone! Right now we nightshifters don't have a way of checking so NO ONE ANSWER ANYTHING. It might be completely legit as we do use third party sites like surveymonkey etc but givvus a sec to check it out?

[DarkEvilMoon]

External sites have been used for surveys in the past, but it is sensible to check. If you have major concerns I would recommend reporting the thread/a post and giving them reasons in the report.
Hopefully HQ will be along shortly.

[DarkEvilMoon]

Ah x-post.

[cozietoesie]

I think they'll need more than wine, Dark.

I keep asking for a gin smiley as well!

[cathcustard]

Actually when I was completing it I was surprised that i'd given the wrong DOB for the DCs. Anyone else notice any discrepancies?
