No, no I'm not.

See the stickied thread from Justine re hackers and go to the end. The Troll has just dumped a load of MN usernames and passwords on twitter.

Mine is on the list posted but it's my old one, I changed it today.

If you know any MNers on FB etc, make sure they know.

It doesn't matter if people don't rush to change their passwords because none of them work. MNHQ voided all passwords earlier to force people to change theirs.

ghostspirit · 19/08/2015 00:26

can someone link it?

OrangeSquashTallGlass · 19/08/2015 00:27

When was this? I thought their twitter account was suspended?

hashtagwhatever · 19/08/2015 00:28

A poster has said her new password is shown on the link so not all are old passwords

wickedlazy · 19/08/2015 00:28

I had to change mine earlier, wouldn't let me in. I don't have the app downloaded but are those people personal files at risk? Photo's etc? Where is the list, think after trouble logging in earlier i'll be on it Sad.

Only found out mn got hacked a little while ago. Can anyone link to Justine thread again?

wickedlazy · 19/08/2015 00:29

Hopefully mine was just voided and not hacked then, but would like to double check.

Good point Cote - was rush of blood to the head Blush

But if anyone uses the same pw for anything else they should change it.

Did it earlier this evening. Saw the sticky from MNHQ, though missed the list on Twitter.

Bumping again- they are back on Twitter. The thread is a sticky at the top of Active convos, and Dad Sec is commenting but being deleted.

dont know if all is ok or not now... :/

DisappointedOne · 19/08/2015 00:33

FFS! Stop posting the sodding list!

TheFormidableMrsC · 19/08/2015 00:34

What a bloody horrible picture he's got on his Twitter page..I am a bit wary of clicking on the links...anybody else done it yet?

CoteDAzur · 19/08/2015 00:35

hashtag - No, that MNer says she just changed her password (as we all did today) and that her password on the list is the one she had until half an hour ago - i.e. That was her old password.

ElderlyKoreanLady · 19/08/2015 00:36

I've been wondering why it told me my password was wrong for the past couple of hours! Just went and changed it so I could get in.

ProfessorBranestawm · 19/08/2015 00:36

I copied the list into Word - if you click 'find' you can type in your username or password to see if it's on there.

(obviously I deleted the list after, I have no use for a bunch of user data!)
