    Major Data Breach


    I have just been alerted to this data breach of email addresses and passwords https://www.troyhunt.com/ive-just-ad...-i-been-pwned/

    I've changed any passwords which may be affected.

    Link is to a blog and I personally don't take any stock in blogs. If it goes national then I'll take heed of aforementioned warning. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

    While this is a blog post, the blog owner, Troy Hunt, has been running the site "Have I Been Pwned?" for a number of years and has a good security rep. Worth checking out.

    (FWIW, he is a Microsoft MVP and Microsoft Regional Director in AU.)
