Nice to know a member here could access my PM account and send Admin a PM via my account reporting the fact.
When this problem first arose this morning, I was 'logged in' to many accounts across my computers. Including MaxD and NeilW. I was not able to access anywhere, it would log me out or throw up a security error. Likewise when people contacted me, having been logged in as me. For instance Mark at 32Red. I asked him to access my inbox and he was unable to.
Hey! That's an art project... for a very discerning buyer... who collects beauty in all forms... bathing in lime jello...
Jeeze this is one clusterfuck. They had my admin tags up plus my PM's. Wow.
what is happening ??????????
it's to bad for it to be a 1st of April joke as I had acces to lots of PMs that were not mine
and who had acces to my PMs ?????
Your third message down in your inbox - the Nigerian stud is a fake picture and don't send him the $1485 air fare he wants in order to visit you in Helsinki - it's a SCAM!

I have nothing to hide.. but yeah this isn't cool
here you are, sorry! as said I only wanted to see if I can actually read somebody's PMs and as you had meiseter's PMs opened one of them for my own curiosity.
yeah, not cool at all....
and seems that data breach now means '''unexpected' behaviour so that's that
We could spin it positive and call unexpected behaviour, "interesting new feature"...
FWIW there was no "data breach" in the sense of getting hacked or whatever. It was a tech issue on the server-side where a particular version of their software glitched with a particular version of our software and produced those "account ghosting" issues. We've thoroughly investigated the post and access records for all of the Admin level stuff and nothing unexpected happened there, it seems the Admin level was and remained secure.
The vast majority of ghosted accounts were unable to do anything, they got "Security error" pop-ups and were automatically logged out. Obviously that wasn't true in all cases but the Dunover thing seems to have been the exception not the rule.
I'll update further if and when we have more info to share.
Are you saying that someone did manage to use your account, but you couldn't?
How many member accounts were compromised?
... Unless anyone knows otherwise?
