I doubt that she needs to.

"I was expecting links to her secret MN username that she uses to post about anal fissures and squeezing spots on DHs back"

that's really not impressive _ I found Justine's address in about two minutes :/

@howtorebuild

Yes that happened to several posts. I assumed it was mnhq trying to protect info.

yes, it is. Thank you all for being so careful with posts. We may have had a few coffees

Really sorry and disgusted to see what's going on.
Poor Justine, must be awful.

Rebecca

you need MrFinch from POI to sort the hacking stuff and MrReese to sort Jeffrey

Stephanie it's fine honestly. It was a stupid and badly worded post on my part.

to Justine MNHQ.

To be personally 'attacked' like this because someone has taken a dislike to your job role is horrific.

"woman posts that her dh won't have sex with her: replies are along the lines of she should reconsider the relationship, would she want to stay in a sexless marriage for the rest of her life etc, quite valid points IMO. But if a man posts the same the initial question is how much does he do to help around the house."

woman posts that her DH wont have sex with her and shes often asked if her appearance has changed usually "Have you put on weight" Ive seen this on a couple of threads on MN and it happens within the first few posts when a woman has asked for a male view of the problem on Dadsnet.
So i would say it IS pretty equal especially as there is always more pressure on women with regards to appearance.

it's a war of attrition, yes it's a definite target of individuals.

Cripes hope that one's not next...

OK something is happening - just tried refreshing this page and it loaded as completely blank, refreshed again a couple more times and same thing - copied the URL: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2452742-Hackergate-part-four-PLEASE-READ?msgid=56236180

I also had another tab open on active convo's and the above URL went into the address bar on its own and tried to load but came up on the blank page, went back to original tab, click refresh and it loaded this page, went back to 2nd tab and active convo's is loaded.

I don't even think we can say that much, it looks like she is targeted as it gets the troll publicity. Much speculation here about his motivation but I still think from watching all unfolding that he (presume 1 individual) is doing it "for the lolz"

I know that you are dealing with a lot of crap atm but dear God I hope you have a meeting with all staff about passwords after all this has died down because I'm gobsmacked.

bitta not for the lols, for the keks.

When I were a lass, 'keks' were underpants/knickers.

Hi Worra

Any data you give to us when entering a book giveaway like this is stored on a completely separate and secure site - so we've no reason to believe it's at risk.

I don't get why he didn't target someone no one likes. There are plenty of people out there that the general public just loathes.

Katie Hopkins perhaps

Justine is really bloody lovely. Of course she was going to have sympathy from nearly all sides, which means that MN will flourish even more as a result of this.

If he wanted to be some sort of hero, he kinda picked the wrong gal.

Me too Don't. If the poor lad is that desperately in need of keks I'm sure we could have had a whip-round and got him a few, there'd have been no need for all this palaver.

Thanks 0010 - as you have deduced I'm out of touch since having kids! /nostalgic

All this for some clean underpants. I ask you.

you're all such n00bs

It's a game for them StephanieBeacham that's all. A game. It doesn't matter who or what the victim is if it gives them enough 'glory' among their followers.

among their followers.

All none of them...
