Justine's account

Well!

I am fresh out of the shower from a fabulous camping trip in sunny Wales to a call from one of our lovely staff to say that there was a thread started by "Justine" that was really rather vile.

Apologies all, it seems as though we have some nasties hanging around and have managed to hack Justine's account.

Tech are onto it now and we are looking at in what happened.

Justine is on hols atm. Please do report anything odd that you see.

Thanks all and apologies.

Thanks :) Glad it was mildly amusing/naughty rather than just vile (could have been a LOT worse).

Gosh, I guess we are all worried that we will be taken over by poo trolls and Friday Night Sumbexers hacking us all, turning this into a golden shower opportunity.

Oh, we are being told to remind everyone to hit 'keep me logged in' on all your various devices, fingers crossed that was it.

LottieJenkins · 11/04/2014 20:16

Still happening! Very annoying!!!

We are tremendously sorry about all this upset on A FRIDAY NIGHT, just to be super duper clear.

I heard amazon was, but to be honest that was not something I read somewhere, but heard in passing, so could be wrong.

SquirtedPerfumeUpNoseInBoots · 11/04/2014 20:09

fwik Amazon wasn't vulnerable to heartbleed. One of the few.
facebook was and still is.
I'm working :-) , but will come back with a link later.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 11/04/2014 20:09

Amazon. Thank you Quint. I knew there was one I had forgotten.

EmpireBiscuit · 11/04/2014 20:08

Hmmmm - cookies.

Quinteszilla · 11/04/2014 20:05

As we should with all our online accounts in due course. Especially Amazon.

Quinteszilla · 11/04/2014 20:04

Right, Maybe a good idea for us all to change our passwords in view of the Heartbleed Vulnerabiity?

We are keeping him in touch with what's happening here, obvs, so will report to you all as soon as we hear from him.

In the meantime, we will hand out blankets and hot soup for those dispossessed by the logging out and in and out and in again. Many apologies. Tomato or chicken noodle?

Message from Tech...
"I've reset all the cookies so most likely every person on the site will be asked to login again shortly. Sorry, but it had to be done."

Morgause · 11/04/2014 19:51

I don't like being logged out.

littledrummergirl · 11/04/2014 19:50

I had to log in as well, didnt have to change my password though.
Thank goodness mumsnets staying. Phew. As we were.

Thattimeofyearagain · 11/04/2014 19:50

Me too , been logged out against my will 4x now

RustyBear · 11/04/2014 19:50

I had to log in, but I thought that was just because I've just changed my password.

(Yes, I know Tech said we didn't have to, but I'm currently changing them all - I've now got a system and folders in my password manager and everything...)

ScrambledSmegs · 11/04/2014 19:50

A-ha!

And as a PP said^^, is it a Heartbleed thing?

LottieJenkins · 11/04/2014 19:49
