OT: Data Breach

[_illicit_]

Mods, feel free to move this somewhere else, if appropriate.

Just a heads up for those that are unaware and had an account over at *************. They suffered a data breach on 11/6. Email addresses, IP, and hashed passwords were exposed. While it is good the passwords were not stored in clear text, it is not impossible that they could be recovered. I would change your password on that site, and any other that you may have used the same email/pw combination (hopefully you don't do that for any account).

EDIT: Apparently you can't mention that "other" Isles site.

Thanks for posting this- hadn't logged in there in a long time and wouldn't have heard about the breach.

if we're talking 'mania.....and hackers have control of the accounts, maybe some valid and rational posting might happen until they fix the breach?
