45 Million VerticalScope accounts compromised
Just stumbled across an article about a data breach for VerticalScope, the media company behind websites like AutoGuide and The Truth About Cars, and also forums like ClubWRX and VWVortex. Since this is a car forum and many of you may have accounts on affected websites, thought I might post a warning.
http://www.zdnet.com/article/hacker-...sports-forums/ List of automotive websites owned by VerticalScope http://www.verticalscope.com/automotive/site-list.html Website to enter your email address to determine if your account may be compromised https://www.leakedsource.com/ They also host sport and tech sites, so this may or may not apply to everyone; however, if you have an account on one of these websites, I suggest changing your password for them immediately. Provided you care if someone shitposts as you on VWVortex. If you're also one of those bad people who uses the same email and password on multiple websites A) Change those, too B) Don't do that, C) This is why: https://xkcd.com/792/ |
