Don't know if I was on the list but have been logged out by MN twice now & had forced password resets. Will never remember the new one however as is so bloody long...

I've literally just registered on Twitter yesterday so thatcO can contact MNHQ.
I think I'd better just dereg. seems more grief than use

Hi MNHQ,

I appreciate it that you may not be able to say, but am I to assume from your last post that the person targeted had engaged with him / them on Twitter?

Huge, huge sympathies to whoever got swatted last night. Hope they weren't too badly shaken up

I don't think everyone flamed you Maryz.

I think you might have a tougher job linking Jeffreygate to the retention of Classic though.

I think I've found the Twitter user if it's the right one, she was really giving him grief and winding him up so it's not a surprise if she was the targeted one

Woah Arkko victim blaming much?

Fully agree with no linking fb, twitter or any social media to each other. Yes, it's a pain to manage all the passwords, but I have a fairly public job and I'd rather keep some stuff private and should shit happen, that it happens only to one of the accounts.

Oh hardly, but the last targeted member swat was interacting in the same way. So it wouldn't suprise me if she was the target of last nights one that's all

Not victim blaming ffs

The social media buttons on MN don't link anything. This is nothing to do with that. I find them annoying and have hidden them too, but they aren't dangerous, honestly.

Yy Bertie.

Viva I tried messaging her to ask if she knew about it, but MN wouldn't let me send the message.

I took a screenshot of the post though, and sent it to MNHQ.

Arkko

don't be that guy

Oh that wasn't my intention at all

I was just trying to say that interacting with him like that obviously is what causes him to persue the swat attacks

Sorry I didn't mean any offence by it at all

argh, can't leave Twitter.
just seen photo of amazing sky pool and coffee warning label that translated "crotch area" to L'Area De Oolala"

that makes more sense Arkko
and sounds better

@headlesslambrini

Justine can you say whether or not this MNer was on the original list?

Do you know if he only got 3000 details or everyone's but just hasn't published them yet?

Have all Police forces been alerted to this?

I think we need a few more details if you csn give them.

Not on the original list - but as has been said here it's quite easy to garner info of someone once you have basic details often found on Twitter accounts.

It's been a long day that started at 4am thanks to dd

I know who arkko means - and yes I did wonder whether she would be targeted.

I hope whoever it was is okay.

Arkko

don't swat it

oh ffs!
I meant don't sweat it!

Not on the original list

I think this is important from Justine's post - it wasn't someone from the 3000 list.

awesome typo zing!
