    I've just checked both my email addresses and neither come up on the list. I guess that's good then? Sorry yours got caught :(

    I've just logged onto clixsense and the link to the graphic website is back. Best to stay away for now.

    I've had no problems since they sorted out last week. Just logged on and everything is still fine for me. Have you cleared your cookies, etc?

    Your details will be up for sale, there is no doubt about it. So change any other website passwords that are the same/similar.

    100% clixsense has been breached as I've found the password/addresses etc for several people that I know on there. I even rang my Mum, and told her the password she had used, and she said she used it on Clixsense.

    A good place to check:
    https://haveibeenpwned.com

    They clearly knew details had beens stolen and rather than be upfront they tried to sweep it under the carpet. The last time something like this happened was Boomerang Rentals, my card was cloned, and it was only 3 months later they admitted it when I realised my card was being used in new York, they knew for MONTHS and didn't say anything and I only found out when 4.4k went missing from my account. Thankfully my bank refunded it but these companies really annoy me...!!

    Get those passwords changed people xx

    You won't be able to see the paste now, as it has been removed, but on the above link I've shared I could previously see passwords for myself and numerous other people I know using Clixsense.

    Fortunately I use different passwords on different sites, so I only had to change a couple, but there were 2,000,000+ when I was looking at the list.

    Thanks Katy. I tried the haveibeenpwned site and none of my emails come up with anything sinister. But I will keep my eyes open and be alert! Sorry to hear about your account being hacked. Glad you got your money back though.
