URGENT: New data leak

226 replies

New data has just been leaked on the DadSec page - all the Mumsnet partner companies.

This is a huge breach and must have come from within your server as this wouldn't have just been phished.

I may well be being thick, but why is it a data leak? Aren't all company details publicly available?

Pffft you only have to spend 5 mins on the homepage to identify most of the companies Mumsnet works with.

That is a lot of partner companies!

Mumsnet, you must be earning a lot of revenue from sharing our data. How about reinvesting some of it in better security?

I wasn't convinced my account was compromised earlier due to phishing, now I'm even less convinced.

Where is the Dadsec page? I've seen references to Twitter etc but can't find the links. Could PM me them I'd appreciate it. I want to know if my username and password was one of the ones mentioned.
