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.

Can a kind person please message me the link? I want to see for myself exactly what is on there.

CalliopeTorres · 19/08/2015 08:53

Yes you're on gordonpym

NeuNewNouveau · 19/08/2015 08:55

Have pm'd you toad

SylvanianCaliphate · 19/08/2015 08:55

Shins it could be from a fake log in page so if you didn't log in you won't be on the list.
However if that's not the case (I personally doubt it's phishing because the list looks decidedly like a memory dump) he may just have published part of the info he has.
So not on the list may mean nothing.

Can someone check me please? Flowers

themightyfandango · 19/08/2015 08:56

I haven't logged in for quite some time but would appreciate a check. Thanks

SniffsAndSneezes · 19/08/2015 08:56

Epona nope

gordonpym · 19/08/2015 08:56

Thank you Sniff, I have already change the password, now I have to change my nickname. I am reading a thriller now, no inspiring names in there I am afraid.
Is the email also visible? Any chance of receiving the list by pm, so I can control what has leaked?

SniffsAndSneezes · 19/08/2015 08:57

Fandango nope

urbinosparrot · 19/08/2015 08:57

Please could someone check to see if I'm on the list?

SniffsAndSneezes · 19/08/2015 08:58

Urbinosparrot nope

EponasWildDaughter · 19/08/2015 08:58

Really? Wow. Thank you v. much sniffs. You're going to be there all day!

Does anyone know why some and not others then? Is it to do with clicking on a span email?

EponasWildDaughter · 19/08/2015 08:59

spam not span!

MaidOfStars · 19/08/2015 09:00

Oh golly, sorry to add to the 'check me' posts but can someone check me?

I randomly changed my password last week anyway. So if I am on the list, can you tell me if my listed password starts with a letter in the first or second half of the alphabet?

SniffsAndSneezes · 19/08/2015 09:00

I did a quick search for @yahoo, @gmail, @hotmail and @live and only one person came up. I've emailed the address to alert them.

VivaLeBeaver · 19/08/2015 09:01

Am I right in thinking email addresses haven't been published. Anywhere? This is what I'm more worried about. I don't have this username anywhere else and different passwords so not worried about this list to be honest.

urbinosparrot · 19/08/2015 09:04

Thanks Sniffs Flowers

Myturnnow4 · 19/08/2015 09:04

I'd appreciate someone telling me if I'm on there.

It might be better in the long term to just share a list of the usernames that are there (nothing else). Of course, there's probably more to come.

Just imagine if you had the knowledge and time to do this kind of thing. Who do you target? Paedophile rings? Drug smugglers? People traffickers? No - a woman's social website. I think that says a lot.

themightyfandango · 19/08/2015 09:04

Thank you sniffs. Much appreciated.

themightyfandango · 19/08/2015 09:05

Thank you sniffs. Much appreciated.

LuisSuarezTeeth · 19/08/2015 09:06

Does anyone know the purpose of the hacking? Is it a F4J thing or a just because we can thing?

SniffsAndSneezes · 19/08/2015 09:06

MaidOfStars yep you're on there

Pranmasghost · 19/08/2015 09:07

Changed password and username I just hope email not compromised.

SniffsAndSneezes · 19/08/2015 09:08

MaidOfStars first letter is 2nd half

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 19/08/2015 09:08

Myturn, god forbid that women have their own corner of the internet. Even though we have a few men on here too.

Do they fear us that much?
