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.

Yes, lots of Darcys and Harry Potters and children and weddings and the word Mumsnet and Password in the passwords. You couldn't make it up Wink

JanineMelnitzGlasses · 19/08/2015 07:18

What a dick. Changed mine.

I can't see it actually being a dad. It's probably some troll that had a strip torn of him.

LaurieFairyCake · 19/08/2015 07:19

I'm not on that list - the most likely explanation is because I didn't click on a phishing email

WorktoLive · 19/08/2015 07:24

I've never clicked on a phishing email and I'm on there.

Worried.com. Luckily changed password and my mn password is totally different to everything else online. This list shouldnt be allowed to be published and shouldnt have even been accessed. Makes you worry how safe everything is online. So glad i dont have much of an online presence.

BlueMoonRising · 19/08/2015 07:29

Phishing sends likely looking at the number of duplicates on the list too.

Worktolive, they didn't say a phishing email. They said a phishing website linked to the login button on the website.

DizziDoll · 19/08/2015 07:31

I am not on the list. Itend to only use the app though. Also, some usernames are on there more than once, which fits in the scenario that it is a phishing website behind a login button somewhere. It can't be an insider as even mumsnet employees don't have access to the passwords.

Shocked at Mumsnet Lisa's password though Shock

ZetaPu · 19/08/2015 07:31

I'm glad I use a separate email address for forums and social media and another one for the real life stuff.

nicemarmot · 19/08/2015 07:35

So if I couldn't log in last night was that just MN just forcing a password change?

Also does anyone use a password manager or is that not safe?

zombiemeow · 19/08/2015 07:36

I don't know if it's related but all the info from that cheating website has also been put online last night Shock

SniffsAndSneezes · 19/08/2015 07:37

Ok so I'm on this bloody lost and I'm rather frightened now- am I going to have to change literally every account I have that uses that password?

Snoopadoop · 19/08/2015 07:37

Why would you post the list! Can you not see that you are making it worse? Why would you want to alert more people about where you can find our passwords. It's bloody ridiculous.
Also why would you go through it looking for people you recognise - has our privacy not been invaded enough already?

TheTravellingLemon · 19/08/2015 07:39

Can someone who has access to the list please look and see whether I am on there? Thank you.

TheCunnyFunt · 19/08/2015 07:40

I'm not on the list either, I can't believe this has happened, there must be hundreds if not thousands on that list :( Angry

FishWithABicycle · 19/08/2015 07:41

Phew I don't think I am on the list (assuming I can rely on my phone's search function.

Thank you MNHQ for helping me get back into my account. I had a horrible half hour last night where I actually had to talk to my DH instead of MNing.

Eva50 · 19/08/2015 07:42

How can I find out if I'm on the list?

ButterflyUpSoHigh · 19/08/2015 07:42

The travelling lemon yes you are on there Sad

Trufflethewuffle · 19/08/2015 07:42

Can someone please check for me? Thanks.

SniffsAndSneezes · 19/08/2015 07:42

TheTravellingLemon fraid so love.

FernsNotAHappyGully · 19/08/2015 07:42

I'm not on there as far as I can see but I did change my password yesterday when I couldn't get in. Done my username too now.

I looked at the list but I didn't take any notice of the passwords, I was only looking for me.

LaundryFairy · 19/08/2015 07:42

Can someone who has a copy of the list please tell me if my username is on there? Very worried....

DisappointedOne · 19/08/2015 07:43

Only 2 follows on the hacker's Twitter account: both FFJ.

Blueandwhitelover · 19/08/2015 07:43

You are on there Lemon , I can see your password :-(

ButterflyUpSoHigh · 19/08/2015 07:44

Eva50 you are not on the list
