Data Breach!

Gold Embellished Lock




It's come to our attention that another site pet site that our users frequently play on had a security breach that included usernames and passwords, so we'd like to take this opportunity to remind you to:

  1. Have a different password for every site! We recommend using a password manager to automatically generate passwords, but even changing the last letter is more secure than using the same password on every site.
  2. Change your passwords once a year, or even more often!



If you used the same username/password combination as you did on that site, we recommend changing your password immediately.

glad I don't play on that N place anymore. It went down hill.

Also, a delete and/or edit option for new post comment would be great.

Awesome heads up, but they're claiming that it happened a few years ago. Hopefully nobody has had the same passwords since then!

I know talking about other pet sites is taboo but it would be REALLY helpful if you said which one.

I left them when I joined Subeta, but I think this is a nice info for some others here, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks, Keith!

This also goes for a lot of e-mail services, too! Careful, folks.
