PCGirl Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Well this certainly might explain the Trojan I had infect my system. Thankfully, I caught it as I constantly run virus scans over and above the general quick scan that it does. I did change my login and password, so hopefully no more lurkers..

hard8 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I thought it was Dell's Optimize Your PC scanning program that had missed up my sign in with this site yesterday, I switched internet providers a few weeks ago, and it be normal for the site to be nervous about my new ip address and provider service!..

DaisukeNiwaKun Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 "and thus cannot ascertain how many - if any - email addresses, password hashes and salts were accessed. " - So you inform users about this almost 2 months later? From what I've read you should inform users immediately! here's the source: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/personal-data-breaches/ How users can defend themselves if you alert this so late? Some of us buy premium membership what about payment information, credit card numbers? I know that many people here they do not realize the seriousness of the situation.

As such this may very well be my last successful login, time will tell.But I've gotta ask, just why have so much security your users are expected to remember impossible gibberish?It's not like everyone buys stuff daily...and even if they did...

Some of us buy premium membership what about payment information, credit card numbers?I know that many people here they do not realize the seriousness of the situation.in a post a week or so ago, I asked at what stage of the process that was followed, was the step to tell users executed. The reason I asked that question was because my understanding, based on that link, and other information around data breaches, suggest that the users told as a matter of urgency.
