I had a push notification to say mumsnet had a data leak and my password had been shared.

Did anyone else get this?????

If it's happened again I'm off. Seriously, there's been enough instances of this over the years for them to get their act together.

I use a generic password for sites that don't involve money or other security issues. I put it into a different site and got told that the password had been compromised. Then windows gave me a list of the sites I use that password for and told me to change it on each of them.

It didn't say which of those sites had the data breach though.

Nicknacky · 30/10/2020 23:18

If there has been a data breach, MNHQ will laugh it off with a “Whoops, silly us” as they usually do.

GreenPlum · 30/10/2020 23:21

No. But earlier today I couldn't post (iPhone app) without having to log in again. I never log out.

MarthasGinYard · 30/10/2020 23:21

Oh no

Not more data leaks and Swatting attacks Confused

Do you have a screenshot? It's the sort of thing I would take one of.

Frdd · 30/10/2020 23:25

Oh no.

Frdd · 30/10/2020 23:27

Is that why there’s been all the weirdness with cookies?

CoRhona · 30/10/2020 23:29
