How do we know our personal details were not stolen from your site? I have asked to be removed from this site as a security concern. Sad it happened but having had my personal details stolen on Facebook I don't want it to happen again
Did they hack our webcams? Do we need to put on clothes while PEing?
You have no personal details on this site, except for your email address, which the hacker did not see.Quote:

Yes, it's important to get the facts straight. All you need to join PE is to have an email address and log in password. Most people:Quote:

And having your email address alone is less "harmless" as someone having your phone number (which is often given without you knowing from otherwise reputable businesses).
The best advice that someone can give for PE if someone does obtain your email address is to change your password here at PE and not to use passwords here that you also use with online banking or retailers like Amazon.
I'm glad this is straightened out because I'm one of the members wanting to stay on this forum.
On a serious note - Thanks to Duncan and team for being right on top of this thing. As a very frequent reader of this forum (and occasional poster), I really enjoy this place. Much appreciation.
I got Duncan's email hours before I got the phony email. Good thing, since I am the antithesis of internet savvy.
You can always make a pseudonym email at gmail (a.o) and use it just for this one or another purpose.
Thanks indeed for quickly addressing this situation.
Now we have to find out who really is behind the problem.
There is an impressive list of suspects.
Brian Lane
Geoff Downes
Billy Sherwood
Ahmet Zappa
Jon Anderson's Dark Aspect
Regressive Ears
The Post Neo Mathcore Underground Army
Kanye West
The Birotron Appreciation Society
Lars Ulrich
The Secret Order For the Elimination Of Yes Threads
The Secret Order Against the Elimination Of Threads
Tony Banks' "Joker" Aspect
... we'll probably never know.
^^^Awesome! Is "Jon Anderson's Dark Aspect" already taken as a band name? Bummer if it is...lol....
^ That's some railroad lingo there.
Firefox told me to change my password for this site. How did they know? Anyway, I did change my password.
They know everything, they can tell you when to change your underpants.
They know when you've been sleeping, they know when you're awake.....
That must be the reason for dropping your pants during a reboot.Quote:

Seriously, though - I have a high-tech system to stop webcam hacking. It's one inch of electrical tape!
The hell with underpants, and let the chips fall where they may.Quote:
