Well!

I am fresh out of the shower from a fabulous camping trip in sunny Wales to a call from one of our lovely staff to say that there was a thread started by "Justine" that was really rather vile.

Apologies all, it seems as though we have some nasties hanging around and have managed to hack Justine's account.

Tech are onto it now and we are looking at in what happened.

Justine is on hols atm. Please do report anything odd that you see.

Thanks all and apologies.

It was so ludicrous it was funny. I laughed out loud. Obviously your security people won't be laughing.

We still luff you.

Wow, Justine is going to be a bit shocked about that.

KoalaFace · 11/04/2014 18:32

Oh god, not knowing who it was is gonna bug me...

AllMimsyWereTheBorogroves · 11/04/2014 18:32

She said all the people who post on AIBU were mad, I think, and she thought she ought to shut it down.

Poor Justine- there must be days when she wonders how quiet her life would be had the beast that is MN not been spawned!

AlpacaYourThings · 11/04/2014 18:33

It wasn't that funny Stealth

Just said that AIBU has ridiculous questions 90% of posters already know if they ABU or not.

And she's selling the site.

Was a bit

BoreOfWhabylon · 11/04/2014 18:33

Justine is away skiing atm

Are you sure about that Rebecca ?

Groovee · 11/04/2014 18:33

Och thought she'd run out of Gin!

RebeccaMumsnet · 11/04/2014 18:33

@MrsDonnaLyman

Rebecca, where was the witty deletion message Angry :(

If Justine's skiing maybe it was a dare, I once went bum boarding through a storm of firecrackers when skiing, reckon the altitude does crazy things to your head

Ha! No time for wit Hmm Wink
Justine was totally unaware.

I bet it made a few bums clench. Hackers making off with goodness knows what.
Although an amusing effort I certainly appreciate Justine's usual style. GLC...so 2004.

Thanks for letting us know what MNHQ suspect has happened.

Can we have a Gin emoticon? Some days you know you just need one, and Cake for Tech might not be enough this evening.

CookieMonsterIsHot · 11/04/2014 18:35

Can we have the thread back please?

With a MNHQ disclaimer of course.

Because it was funny. And you'll get lots of hilarious post that will make it worthy of classics in no time.

Cupid5tunt · 11/04/2014 18:35

There may be a print screen on another thread right now for those who didn't see it...

Oh and there it is!

inthemidlands · 11/04/2014 18:35

Are you sure she's skiing and not been kidnapped by NM's the enemy?

VanGogh · 11/04/2014 18:36

That was fun! Thought the site was about to crash!

Feenie · 11/04/2014 18:37

Don't get the Stuart Lee references - have I missed something as usual?

YouTheCat · 11/04/2014 18:39

Most entertaining though. Grin

Trolls are getting better.

She is skiing, I've just called her - international dialing code and everything

Bumping message so peeps will see it

Doasbedoneby · 11/04/2014 18:41

If Justine's account was hacked would the hacker be able to read all her PMs and name changes? (If there are any)
