If email addresses haven't been published should I still be worried?

God. I found it. Darn those hackers!!!

Where was this published? Apparently, I was on the list, but don't even know where?!?

"still couldn't log in then had cock pictures pop up" ... Yes... I remember something very odd - I had an escort page pop up and then disappear...

Something on 12th August, late at night and it was for 'Viva Street' an escorts site.

I was wonderin the same thing. I Was able to change my password and I thought that was all I had to do. I log in with my username but couldn't log in, so got a link sent to my email address and changed it that way. Now I'm wondering if that was a mistake.

I'm clearly thick, but how do I check the list?

I'm not very techy at all, but for sure know problems were happening on and before 7 August because I emailed mnhq when I was repeated logged out, asked to reset password, still couldn't log in then had cock pictures pop up. I'm not sure what my point is but they seemed totally unaware or unsure of what to do to solve my issues. Because I tried unsuccessfully to reset password or log in for 2 days, I'm unsure if "the list" is infact full and complete reflection of all people affected.

I'm not on the list (it is linked on twitter).

My MN account is linked to a spare email account, not my main one. No sign of hacking on it but I've set up second sign-in protection on it. This is also on my main email and does seem to stop hacking in.

my MN password is not one I use elsewhere and I haven't filled in profile data.

have I forgotten anything?

I'm not getting spam on my email so far and the lists will likely be widespread. (They just represent money and they do exist.) Change passwords and keep an eye on things - there's not a lot more you can do with any internet system.

Meet, they could write a program to log in as everyone.

"They do know your email address because all they needed to do was log in as you and read it from your account details."

highly unlikely that they did log in as everyone though!

Have any of you successfully changed you email addresses? I'm getting the message "your changes have been saved" but the old email address is still there???

They've had the passwords for God knows how long, and they could have written a program to do the logging for them.

your username plus email address opens you up to a hell of a lot of abuse if you've been unfortunate enough to be targeted by any of the extremist groups that have come in here in the past and set up 'shitlists' of mn users they dislike on other sites. which has happened before.

They do know your email address because all they needed to do was log in as you and read it from your account details.

I changed my name after heart bleed to Ella big boobs.... Im going to go check my spam now!

*not my real name, but you'd prob be able to identify me in a line up anyway

Can someone point me to the link of the list please? I'd like to check what info of mine is out there, thanks.

*me not materials

I personally believe those of us that log in via email aren't listed as they are more valuable to the hackers

Not sure that's true. I use username as does my friend just making materials a brew and we aren't on 'the list'

Pretty sure that the if the data can be sold it would be? ?

My username is on the list. I changed my username this morn (password already changed last night).

My email has a different password (although linked), now changed as well.

My email is made up of my name though so I might change my account and set up a new one with a less identifiable email...

Nue - that is because i am lying - sorry!!!! (I did not mean to)!

I am fraught this morning, trying to sort my email account out and get rid of personal details.

My email address WAS NOT publicly published, but it HAS been accessed by the hackers.

When I registered here, I used a made up Christian name (cannot remember why, must have made sense at the time), it is a name I have never used before or since.

The spam mails I am receiving, if they have a name in them at all, it is this made up name. Therefore I KNOW where the address has come from.

I am really sorry for saying my address was out there, I just linked the obviousness in my head. My email address does contain my real name.
