Feminist Current's website and Twitter account have been hacked.

Twitter must have had plenty of reports of hacking

Feminist Current is back on line!

.... The reason I am a target is because I come from the left and have long identified as a feminist (though I have begun to distance myself from such labels, preferring free thought and to identify myself as someone who advocates for women’s rights, so as to wrest myself from ideological conformity and limitations on my free speech and independent thought). ....

But seems the twitter account is still a bit??? WtF twitter - sort it out.

Am disgusted to see that twitter is still allowing whoever has hacked the twitter account is still there. What the hell is wrong with these people? Obviously it isn't a tech issue as they are a tech company. Makes it look like they are letting it go on when they could stop it.

Shame on twitter. If anyone is on twitter can you tell that what w***s they are for not acting with due diligence and care of their customers.

At least the web company have acted.

There is an update from Feminist Current on their facebook page with info about help needed. www.facebook.com/FeministCurrent/posts/4198519366852877

Even if you aren't on facebook you should be able to read it, you just have to keep getting rid of the irritating pop up box asking you to join facebook.

I always find it very interesting which posts or topics those who monitor our posts appear to find too close to the bone to be allowed to stand. It's an education in itself

Too close indeed in this case

I looked though the rules and the only thing I could find is that someone could've claimed it was 'obscene' because I said the 'd' word instead of penis. Which is a joke considering the language used on the rest of the site (not just by me) because how could they claim it was 'phobic' when nothing about trans was even on this thread about hackers posting vile things on a feminist website?

(Obviously, if you did, please don't post the screenshots, just thinking it is good to have the evidence of the threatening behavior).

Did anyone manage to screenshot any evidence of the doxxing for future reference?

These hacks and attempts at hacks and ddos attacks etc do serve to underline the importance of keeping your own good cyber security practices if you don't want others to have your data.

Do you think it was teenage boys, sitting in their bedrooms, being cross with mummy, no friends, having wanked too much and desperatly trying to regain a sense of control over their empty lives?
Or do you think it was grown men, sitting in their bedrooms...

Anyone else hearing the theme song from Two & A Half Men ?

Agree

Absolutely pathetic.

I forget exactly what the comment was but something along the lines of how they're obsessed with their penises. And if a person is hacking someone else's website and posting articles about penises, I'd say that's a pretty fair comment!

Given MN don't monitor our comments, they only act if someone's reported it, we must be being watched - and it plainly touched a nerve, I'd say!

Or is the worry that we could hurt the poor hackers' feelings by mentioning that they keep posting things about penises?

I mean, what???

Oh FFS. Is "penis" joining the list of unmentionable words?

Seriously Mumsnet?! We didn't get our nest of vipers reputation by having comments like that deleted!

Some people watching our every move are obviously offended by comments about how important penises are to the kind of people who hack a prominent women's website and put up articles about penises! Surprised MN is indulging them though.

(Casting no aspersions about what kind of people they are in this post - their behaviour shows, they are literally hackers who post articles about penises).

Obviously these people are on the right side of history.

What a bunch of wee fannies.

Glad it's all been taken down and hope nobody is harmed by this.

I didn't look tbh. I clocked it was an address and phone number, but I didn't read the details.

There was also an article "why peeing with a boner is worse than childbirth" or something like that, but I didn't bother reading that either.

Address where? She doesn't live in Canada anymore.

It's been taken down, thankfully.

For those who didn't see, it had Megan's address and phone number on it, inviting people to harass her basically.

Same old.

Pathetic.
