We will have a look at this Flip, thank you.

Send it to [email protected] with URGENT FOR TECH in the subject line and we'll pass it over. Thank you.

Also, JustineMumsnet has posted an update on the 'technical details' thread over here.

Here's a c&p for convenience:

"Morning all,

Here's an update of where we are at. The tech team found the hole which was accessed to capture user login data via phishing and patched it yesterday pm. Then, as you probably know, we forced another password update requiring higher-security passwords last night (once we'd rebutted a further DDoS attack).

We are undergoing full security testing by external experts over the next few days to determine if there are any other weaknesses which might be exploited. We'll update you when that process is completed.

Many thanks for your patience and understanding. The best advice remains to update your password here and any passwords used on other sites that are the same as ones you've used on Mumsnet before yesterday.

We're really sorry for the extra bother any anxiety caused."

Hello MotherOfFlagons, and others reporting the same issue - Tech are currently having a look at this. Will report back as soon as I get more info.
