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.

Where is this list and could someone check if I'm on there?

SylvanianCaliphate · 19/08/2015 08:04

Ip can locate the approx address you log in from, the machine and also any other places you go on the net.

Blueandwhitelover · 19/08/2015 08:05

i can't see you Twentieth

TheCunnyFunt · 19/08/2015 08:05

No it won't have done your phone any harm. Are you using an iphone Twentieth? If so, type your username into the Safari search bar (you don't need to actually press search) and it will come up with web search and also 'find on this page'

zombiemeow · 19/08/2015 08:05

Can someone check if I am on there please? Tried to look but it's so long Confused

kungfupannda · 19/08/2015 08:05

I'm on that list and it's clearly come from a phishing exercise. I could be wrong because I always stay logged in, but I don't think that was my most recent password. It's a random word type password I was allocated by IT at an old workplace, and I'm pretty sure I changed it a while ago. When I had to re-log in and couldn't, I kept trying it as it was the only other one I knew I'd used on here. I'm guessing that's where they've got it from.

Clearly someone is upset with MN, and given they are clearly a twat of the highest order, congratulations everyone. Keep up the good work!

Blueandwhitelover · 19/08/2015 08:06

Can't see you Sansyra

SniffsAndSneezes · 19/08/2015 08:06

Sansarya nope

ChalkyC · 19/08/2015 08:06

Oh blimey am I on there? Can't work out how to change my password on the phone app....

TheTravellingLemon · 19/08/2015 08:06

On a lighter note, I'm a bit embarrassed that you've all now seen my password. At least I didn't go for bumsexfriday Grin

Ubik1 · 19/08/2015 08:07

Oh great Sylvanian

That must be how they found addresses.

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me if I'm on the list?

Blueandwhitelover · 19/08/2015 08:07

Can't see either Pile or Zombiesniff

TheCunnyFunt · 19/08/2015 08:07

You're not there Sansarya. The list is linked to near the top of this thread.

SniffsAndSneezes · 19/08/2015 08:07

neuroticattimes · 19/08/2015 08:08

Could someone explain to a very unsavvy NCer what the risks are, in very simple terms?

FourEyesGood · 19/08/2015 08:09

Sorry to be a pain, but please could someone check the list and let me know if I'm on it? The link's been removed.

Blueandwhitelover · 19/08/2015 08:09

I think the link has now been removed, Sniff

zombiemeow · 19/08/2015 08:09
