Tomjw Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I just saw that. Sadly, I remain logged in so I fear I may be compromised 😕 Hopefully they can get things sorted. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 LSP is back up and running so if you are a member there best log in and change your password and any other sensitive info you have on there. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 You're not being thick. If you knew you knew. It's a great website. Dammit why hack something like that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I spotted an email saying they’d been hacked early this week and let Kev know. I was probably one of dozens, but I took the view that if we all assumed he’d been told, he might have remained ignorant of the fact longer. Glad to hear they’ve got it sorted. I’ve no idea why anyone in their right mind would hack a site, but I do know why some seriously mentally unwell people would. We’ve had it before, after all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 What the world needs is grumpy ol' buggers like me to hand out the punishments to those dog bums that do things like hacking innocent websites. I prefer medieval style punishments that leave permanent mark and scars. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Since the hack, and theft of email addresses, I have been bombarded with reminders my McAfee payment is due/overdue/suspended etc, and several 'friend' requests form the usual suspects. All I can say is they must be desperate for friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She must be getting on a bit by now, going by the number of years she's been sending out those emails 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that's not down to the LSP administration so much as the host. Here, touching wood, nothing untoward has come my way yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
