I've had this one too & back along the same happened on the M&S site. After that I got increased spam & seem to have more today. It makes you very untrustworthy of any emails. I nearly didn't reply to an email from a comp win recently, which was my best one yet.

It's not fair, I did not get one.

You can have mine if you want.

Yes, I've received one too.

I have managed to change my details, although the hacker word does send shivers down the spine. Sad sign of the times.:(

Anyway, the hackers would get nowt from me apart from a swift poke in the unmentionables from my trusty stainless steel gardening fork, maybe then they would get the point xxx

Red has just received the data breach email from the sun -
she is trying to log into her !Sun account to change her password but
when she enters her email & home details using the password recovery it
says no account.
Please could you check this for her & email her back. The email address
she is using is: !peed-0ff.com
She was unwilling to leave any further details such as tel number or
address.
thank you

if you've thanked those posts unfortunately your details are probably posted. No passwords but name, email, address, tel, dob :mad: Can only hope some of you have changed your details since then, otherwise I don't know if there's much else you can do but be on your guard.

I have some sympathy with people wanting to target news international (although hacking the hackers seems a bit ironic), but posting innocent user's details online is disgusting.

I have just checked and didn't enter these comps, so hopefully all is ok
