Nicky, thanks for the advice, that's a bit scary. Does it mean the email contained a virus, or just that someone nasty can access our info? How could I tell if I'm a member, as I am on so many sites through comps and never kept any record :eek: :eek:

You are SO clever

No virus in the email hun, it's the website and it's database thats been attacked. I would say that if you had the email then you had joined up at some point to enter a comp, they haven't run that many over the time I have been here (last May) when I looked and I ha only entered one that was a webform one not a sign in/register one. This Search should show you where you may have joined up from.

If you use different logs ins for different sites all the time I wouldn't worry too much, and it's only a precaution in case of, worst case scenario, it was a data mining attack (emal addys for spam and worst of all password and login collection), it's more likely to be a case of "because we can".

And nah, not that clever, just absorb all things geek like a sponge

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: That's scary......I didn't get the email, so do you reckon I'm probably not a member......I don't use many different log-ins, cos I can't remember them all :rotfl: :rotfl: too many senior moments :rotfl: :rotfl:

I'd say that it's most likely you're not TTJ as the email was supposedly sent to "all users" and I am guilty of the same for memory and convience despite what I know about these things. Just make sure ALL important things like any ecommerce sites like Tesco.com/Amazon etc where you store you cc details, email accounts, MSN, Facebook and definitely any online banking have separate and unique passwords.

And stressed your welcome, I try to keep quiet a lot of the time for fear of being a cyber bore :rotfl:
