PLEASE SHARE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FOR THE GOOD OF ALL THE COMMUNITY/FANDOM AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS!
Good morning everyone !
I wanted to let you know, in case you didn't already know, that the popular crowdfunding site Patreon (and pretty popular on FA) was hacked yesterday, affecting 2,330,382 users, and leaking 14 Gb of personal data, such as e-mail addresses, and payment histories, as well as millions of private messages!
Please, go to the site and change your password, and if you used (or still use) the same password for other websites, please change those too.
Here's the e-mail I received from Haveibeenpwned.com (A website that tracks your e-mail address and shows if it was dumped on the web by hackers)
I also advise to subscribe to the aforementioned website to receive the following alert whenever your e-mail address is compromised!
"
You've been pwned!
You signed up for notifications when your account was pwned in a data breach and unfortunately, it's happened. Here's what's known about the breach:
Breach: Patreon
Date of breach: 1 Oct 2015
Number of accounts: 2,330,382
Compromised data: Email addresses, Payment histories, Private messages, Website activity
Description: In October 2015, the crowdfunding site Patreon was hacked
and over 16GB of data was released publicly. The dump included almost 14GB of database records with more than 2.3M unique email addresses and millions of personal messages.
You can also run a search for breaches of your email address again at any time to get a complete list of sites where your account has been compromised.
As with any data breach, the usual advice applies: go to the impacted site and reset your password immediately plus, of course, ensure that you're not reusing that password on any other sites."
In case this could be misinterpreted as advertisement for the website (idk how but oh well), I haven't been paid or received any advantages or such by promoting the website
Thanks!!!!
