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't find you Laundry

SniffsAndSneezes · 19/08/2015 07:44

Truffle and Laundry you're not on there

BerniceB · 19/08/2015 07:45

I've tried three or four times to reset mine, but gave up and started a new account in the end.

TheTravellingLemon · 19/08/2015 07:45

SHIT! thanks guys.

LaundryFairy · 19/08/2015 07:45

Thanks very much for checking Blue. This is nightmare stuff. So much personal information out there for others to access.

Eva50 · 19/08/2015 07:45

Butterfly thank you.

twirlypoo · 19/08/2015 07:45

Can someone send me a copy of the list? I have had a pm with my password but I want to check name changers if poss?

This is actually really scary

Trufflethewuffle · 19/08/2015 07:46

Thank you

nicemarmot · 19/08/2015 07:46

Sorry, can anyone check if I'm on there please.

LaundryFairy · 19/08/2015 07:46

Thanks for checking, Sniffs.

TheTravellingLemon · 19/08/2015 07:46

I knew I would be. I had to randomly relog in the other day.

Blueandwhitelover · 19/08/2015 07:46

It's scary really isn't it, I can't find myself on the list thankfully. My Mum insists on a different password for each site she is on and keeps them written in a book next to her computer but most of us use the same one I would think.

SniffsAndSneezes · 19/08/2015 07:47

Marmot nope you're fine

Blueandwhitelover · 19/08/2015 07:47

You're ok Nicemarmot

ItsAll · 19/08/2015 07:48

I can't see a link on this thread. Can someone please post a link?

Ingles2 · 19/08/2015 07:48

Can someone tell me where to find this list please.. I keep seeing it mentioned 'on the other thread' but there are now so many Smile thanjs

Vatersay · 19/08/2015 07:48

Would someone mind checking for me please?

NotMyName123 · 19/08/2015 07:48

I'm not on there, and it wouldn't matter if I was as the email account whose details MN has is one I use only for MN. I would suggest that if anyone is worried they do the same - you can set up an email account very easily through hotmail or gmail.

nicemarmot · 19/08/2015 07:48

Thank you so much

Northernlurker · 19/08/2015 07:49

It doesn't matter whether you're on the list or not. Your password has been changed since then. All that is now is a list of old passwords and possibly current user names.

At the bottom of this attack, I believe, is misogyny. The hacker wants to shut women up and doesn't like a group of women talking together, getting strength from each other, laughing together (and at men Grin). So he's trying to shut us up. Don't let him succeed.

msgrinch · 19/08/2015 07:49

If anyone has a moment could they check for me? This is awful

Blueandwhitelover · 19/08/2015 07:49

I think you are ok Vatersay

Blueandwhitelover · 19/08/2015 07:50

and you are ok Grinch

Bearsinmotion · 19/08/2015 07:50

Would be very grateful if someone could check for me :(
