? Security Alert! ?
There was a notice on the site earlier about a possible security breach on Subeta. Upon being alerted we moved into what we refer to as code red immediately, informing all of you to change your passwords.
Upon further inspection it appears that the hacking was incredibly isolated, and we believe from a non-Subeta attack that leaked emails and passwords from third party accounts.
As always we recommend changing your password frequently (one account hacked today hasn't been logged in to for five years, and their password was floating around!) and checking lists like Have I been PWNed to see if your personal information has been released in a hack.

Thank you so much for looking out for us! Usually I never know about these things, so thank you<3
My current email seems to be ok, but it says my old one was pwnd 3 times...the email I can't access anymore, so I'm not sure if it makes a difference :/ I would change that password if I could

The lost password form isn't working right now. I have tried disabling my Adblock in case that was causing problems but it's still just going to a blank page when I enter my email. Sucks because I logged out to request a new password because I have difficulty remembering which ones I use for which sites and planned on just resetting it. Now I'm stuck on mobile only until I either guess it or the form works again. But guessing it sounds like a good way to get locked out completely so that doesn't sound fun.
Looking up email address, general spam issues and well of couse neopets show a hit on most LOL.
My usernames don't show much except a couple of a sites I never signed up for, so looks good for now anyways.

How does the PWNed page work... I checked both my emails and the only places that came up were Tumblr and Myspace. Both I knew about before and dealt with at the time.
Is there more to that page that I don't know about?

I have several email addresses... I have 4 that I use most and 3 of them have been pwned :(
I already dumped all my yahoo addresses except one because of their problems but that one checked out ok.
What to do what to do.... Should I switch my stuff off of my pwned accounts (which means updating a lot of email addresses on many many sites used for all kinds of shopping activity, accounts, and such, not to mention my main internet provider email, argh)???? :(
Help?

So apparently my email was pwned 6 times (bloody neopets being one of them). Tumblr...which I never use, and then 4 that were...from something. I have changed my passwords...so everything should be good now...right?
Does anyone know how to find out the date you joined tumblr? It says my email was part of a breach on tumblr in 2013 but id think my account is that old.
Thank you so much, Keith. The prompt attention and action to protect users by you and by Subeta staff is always very much appreciated.
Thanks for the link. It seems I was pwned only on the other pet site... But that was a year ago
Interesting for the Pwn site, though it has a few websites I've never been on before. Thanks for the heads up, so I changed my pass.
just earlier today someone requested to change my facebook password. not sure if this is related, but i went ahead and changed my password there too
Password is officially changed--Darn my love fo rcute sites, using the same username--I haven't used most of those sites in a loooong time and I never put money on them, thank goodness. Thank you, Keith! ^_^
Just checked my email that i use for this site and it said..
Oh no — pwned!
Pwned on 3 breached sites and found no pastes
My Internet service provider being one of them argh
There is an option to sign up to be notified if this happens... anyone use this place?

How is it possible that my email has been owned by 4 sites I've never even been a member of? LOL.
@dr_onu
It means that your email was included in those 3 security breaches when they happened. It doesn't necessarily mean that someone has your information and is going buckwild, it just means that it was included in the list when those sites were attacked.

pw changed... but now I won't remember it and have to look it up all the time lol
I changed my pin a few months ago.... should I change it again?

Yandex? Linux Mint? Minecraft? Tumblr? Jeez, what the heck is up with this list? I guess I know what I'll be doing for the next half-hour. -groans-
I've re-read it a lot but I don't understand ;;;; Could someone explain to me if, by inputing my email on the "PWNED" site and it shows up as 3 pwned, what does that mean? I understand it's not something positive qqq
Don't forget to change your PIN as well, or add one at least for changing your passwords.
Also: avoid reusing passwords! When hacks happen people use the leaked databases to check other sites using the username/password pairs to see if they work. Unique passwords may not be so important for petsites, but they very much are for places like banks, Amazon, and your email.
both concerned and somewhat entertained that there's a real internet resource named "have i been pwned" -- thank you for this alert!
For example: test(at)gmail.com
Oh no — pwned!
