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

Well that's slightly cheering that the hackers or shits who just want to be a pita arse father than shits who want to sell details onto to dodgy folk.

No, I log on with my user name and password.

I have seen the infamous list and my email address (real name@blahblah) and MN password is in plain text - that pisses me off more than anything.

Email addresses are easy to find, so not blaming MNHQ, but in this instance, definitely related.

I log in with username rather than email, am not on the list, have had my emails hacked, use a different password for emails than for MN. I assume that the hackers have accessed my email address from my account details (along with postcode, worryingly).

tooold interesting as I can see you on the list I was sent a link to but can't see your email address anywhere. Not that I am trying to stalk you merely trying to work out if email addresses have been published.

If they had user names and passwords then surely they had access to e-mail addresses. If you use same password for both then that would be a problem.

HoneyDragon - I'm on the list, and I log in using my email.

I've namechanged since though, which makes me think that they've had this data for a little while, as I've been using 'Murloc' for a couple of weeks now since a family member came looking for me on here.

Namechange, password change, and I've just registered for a fake gmail account in a made up name and am using that now too. Fuckers.

I agree with Honey on the email thing. I am not on the list and I log in with my email address. I know that I logged in recently (frequently over the last week) as every time I came to MN I had been logged out.

I use my email after years ago when HQ ballsed up and son of us ended up posting as other users for a few days.

So I'm screwed if I got phished.

I am on the list and my email address is shown in plain text.

I have been spammed - I had over 900 emails in my inbox this morning and as quickly as I was deleting them, more were popping up. I know it is linked to the hack because i registered here with a pretendy Christian name which is now appearing in the spam mails.

Therefore, they DO have your email address!

Can someone explain to me what might happen? What should I be afraid of?

That would make sense honey. I use my username as I can't remember which email address I use - im on the list

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

(and my name isn't on the list)

I changed my passwords on other sites before changing my MN one.

If I hadn't, I would change them anyway I think.
