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.Originally Posted by Fatoldbloke
Please confirm if you want me to delete your account.

PLEASE put clothes on! I'm tired of hacking your webcam and seeing ... that!

I got that email message and just assumed it was Steve Howe all pissed off about the way we talk about him here at PE.
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:
- Don't share personal information on PE
- Use an alias for their username
- Don't use a picture of themselves for their avatar
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.
Currently attempting to catch up on all of the chaos in the Market Square.
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.

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 Against the Elimination Of Threads
Tony Banks' "Joker" Aspect
... we'll probably never know.

Firefox told me to change my password for this site. How did they know? Anyway, I did change my password.

That must be the reason for dropping your pants during a reboot.

Do they know if you're not wearing underpants?

No, but I do.Do they know if you're not wearing underpants?
I regularly hack into your PC's webcam ... and I know what you do when you're alone!
LOL
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.
"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
You only need an inch?
You don't even need pants for that problem.
I got it yesterdayHas anyone else seen it? I sent it a few hours ago.
(I'll be honest, though, I've never used the mass email feature before - so I may not have done it correctly)
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
Oh my! See a doctor and get rid of it!!
First thing I did on my new laptop, even before I plugged in
Only take it off when I skype (which isn't often)
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
