Are you ever going to do anything about trolls?

I know what he was saying. I just didn't believe him.
And also, after the Heartbleed hoopla I've changed all my other passwords so it wouldn't particularly worry me if some knobhead had nothing better to do on a Sunday night other than pretend to be me on Mumsnet.

The Internet isn't and never will be 'secure', it's just the risk you have to take if you want to use it. All we can do as individuals is mitigate that risk as much as possible by using good password protocol and good quality internet security products.

If you're doing that then I really wouldn't worry about some school holiday nonsense. Don't give them the credence they don't deserve.

Like here we are but we won't say who we are.

Well yes. But they don't advertise individual members.

It's secret and yet they have FB and Twitter.

And before anyone asks no I don't have any "proof" of my friend being a member but I do believe that they are. It's not secret for nothing.

I posted on that thread. I "know" someone who is a member of anonymous ( fairly distant associate of mine) and that troll as I said is embarrassing to be even be considered a member.

Yes Lefty, and it is unnerving.

Well the individual last night - genuine or not - was saying the site still isn't secure.

Which is a worry.

I know what you meant Buzzard.. I think it is the announcement that sets my radar aglow rightly or wrongly.

And it's because more often than not the subject matter that follows is often bonkers.

Plus IIRC the trolls from last night have cottoned on to it haven't they?

I've got to be honest. I didn't take a single word of that thread seriously.
I certainly don't believe for a second that it actually was 'anonymous'.

Once a site's been hacked then the challenge is over. Where's the fun and the achievement in doing it again? That's what hacking's all about isn't it, the kudos of finding a way in.

Admittedly it's not my area of expertise but I'm pretty sure the actual hackers will have moved on to their next 'project'.

None of the above made sense, I am in pain, I agolopise

I have another name that I post really personal stuff under as I like this name to be used as my escape from the crap that I live with daily...but, I never have to announce the nc as if you always use it then people can see you have 'history' and not just some random comments in any thread that starts with an a, b or c. Maybe people should just have a 'personal' and a 'usual (not the usual ) nn? There must be an answer to this surely? Limited names might stop the sock wearing activity too?

Keep changing your passwords.

My concern was site security, Rebecca. Hence why I emailed direct rather than click report. When one individual then said they were reading these report emails I got even more concerned.

I genuinely believe they had access to somewhere they shouldn't last night. Can you tell me if that was the case? Did mn get hacked? Are our accounts secure?

I fell asleep tbh, it was past my bedtime!

Anyway, I only came on this thread to tell someone I've never seen before that I find all her repetitive whining (which as mentioned, I have never seen before) annoys me every time I see it.

So what I'm going to do is just say that over and over again.

I do think 'Namechanged for this' needs looking into. I sort of see why they say it in that everyone will cry 'interesting first post', BUT lately 'N/C for this' precedes a WTF style thread where everyone is anyway.

something like that randall. It was very late. Then there was an awful lot of cake.

Wasn't he going to 'mess us up' or 'fuck with our shit' or some such guff?

which is a little more threatening than the average troll, even if its an empty threat.

YY OYBBK and said they would come back as 'one of us' next time.

Morning Rebecca.
I think that because of heartbleed, things feel less secure than they did. The really annoying troll last night mentioned 'anonymous' - which any troll can throw in as 'frightener' but is there any evidence that the targeting is more malicious than usual?
