URGENT: New data leak

226 replies

KitKat1985 · 19/08/2015 21:08

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.

No don't waste your money, time and energy.

DollyTwat · 20/08/2015 14:03

If you google the number you get a strange result. I think it's a false no

MagpieCursedTea · 20/08/2015 14:16

Phoning the number would be a bad idea, but I'm massively nosey curious about who would answer.

SuffolkNWhat · 20/08/2015 14:19

It'll be one of those numbers that charged you seventy squillion quid a minute for calling it

MagpieCursedTea · 20/08/2015 14:25

I think the mirror might have phoned the number judging by the article about himself he's posted on Twitter Hmm

LurkingHusband · 20/08/2015 14:41

Oh dear ... his(?) site is down ...

Off the point, but the pictures of lone men with laptops in darkened rooms on that Mirror story do make me laugh. I think they're the stock pictures other papers use to illustrate stories about internet porn.

If Jeffrey thinks this is an anti-father website, he clearly hasn't been reading it. Unless a father is demonstrably abusive or violent to his children, anyone who posts on here thinking of stopping their exes from having access is usually told very forthrightly that their children are entitled to see their dads.

Icimoi · 20/08/2015 14:43

sniffs - do you mean why is he being called Jeffrey? A week ago when the first attack was happening, someone said something like "think of the conversation he will have with his therapist about how important he felt, and the therapist will reply "calm down Jeffrey"". It sort of stuck.

I think in fact his first Twitter account had a post somewhere addressing him as Jeffrey, which is why the person posting about the therapist chose that name.

SuffolkNWhat · 20/08/2015 14:47

So he is American then, makes sense the timings etc

Yes, the shadowy, bearded hacker, hunched over his keyboard - compared to the glowing, smiling, white clad mother, almost Madonna like in her demeanour Grin

jokes aside most of the time a poster who seems to be trying to cut a father out of a child's life is given pretty short shrift on here. I've been heartened by the same sort of response when some muppet starts posting about how it's wrong for men to work in childcare or similar. In the main if someone starts with "all men are xxxx" type chat they're shot down pretty quickly.

Of course there are some posters who are anti men but i think it's more that these guys are threatened by strong women, many of whom don't feel the need to conform to gender stereotypes in terms of either family role or attitudes/behaviours. Christ if every anti woman misogynistic forum on the internet was targeted instead the hackers would be busy forever.

ScrambledSmegs · 20/08/2015 15:31

Oh, the 'anti-fathers' bollocks again. This site has 7 million members. All of them are anti-fathers?

It's just an excuse for attacking women as a group. How dare there be lots of them in an online forum, communicating and shizzle Hmm

LikeABadSethRogenMovie · 20/08/2015 16:17

I'm genuinely surprised they're American. The few times I've mentioned MN to people in the U.S., I get a blank 'what?!' response. Sorry Mumsnet Confused

LurkingHusband · 20/08/2015 16:20

I think this underscores the "anybody could be out there" warning about humour, irony, and banter. There are some who don't get it. (There are also some who won't get it).

StatisticallyChallenged · 20/08/2015 16:22

He (they) seems to be awake again on twitter - just posted a picture of armed police with "is it that time again"...

LurkingHusband · 20/08/2015 16:24

I guess schools are out then.

StatisticallyChallenged what Twitter name is he / they under? I'm curious. I note his / their website is down right now.

They might be American but living in the UK, especially if the Mirror spoke to them on that Cambs number.

summerwinterton · 20/08/2015 16:32

Twitter is dadsecurity. Has a new website too apparently.

LoveandMonsters · 20/08/2015 16:33

They get off on threatening women and children. That's all we need to know about these guys.

LurkingHusband · 20/08/2015 16:33

If that number is real, it could be a VOIP one - so go anywhere in the world.

summerwinterton · 20/08/2015 16:34

or dad_sec

StatisticallyChallenged · 20/08/2015 16:35

the website is back up at a different domain. Published on the twitter account above.

LurkingHusband · 20/08/2015 16:39

(revises estimated age of perpetrator down)
