It looks like the Mexican site hosting the nasty zip-file has been closed down.

Its good to know not to trust this site with you details though! Quiet happy the only info this site hold is an email address for me.

Either there is not sufficient security, the security is not fit for purpose or the information has been sold. IMHO none is not acceptable.

I got one too. I emailed the webmaster and apparently they are aware of it, but obviously didn't think to notify us!

It's not just this site - you can't have 100% confidence that details will not be lost from any site.

Didn't get one thankfully...at least i don't think so and have looked thoroughly through previous email addys i may have signed up with (pretty sure i changed it a few times).

Probably absolutely nothing to do with this but i have logged on to facebook today and noticed I or rather supposedly I have sent birthday cards to people in the last few days. That would be an app i never signed up for and have never given permission to knowingly. And i have been sending them at times i have never even been online :S

I also use different user names everywhere i go but tend to stick to one of a few passwords just as a case of not constantly forgetting what my password is. Am i a numpty? Lol.

In the mail I received, the site with the nasty zip was hosted in Malaysia with a Norwegian (.no) domain name, and that is still up, but it does look like a legitimate site.

True enough however until proven otherwise you give them the benefit of the doubt. It has been proven otherwise there is no doubt here.
