    Another magazine hit here -

    We have received a message that Typeform had a data breach, which affected several of the online forms we have used to gather submissions to Kitchen Garden magazine, Classic American magazine and Back Street Heroes magazine. Typeform reports that an unauthorised third party managed to get access to respondent data and downloaded it.

    The good news is that Typeform responded immediately and fixed the source of the breach to prevent any further intrusion.

    As your name, email and possibly address may have been downloaded by the unauthorised third party, we recommend that you watch out for potential phishing scams, or spam emails.

    Typeform has tens of thousands of clients so potentially there could be lots more to announce the breach as even though it is an issue with Typeform each company has to report the data breach for their own users.

    Don't think it's related to Typeform but there was also a Ticketmaster data breach, this one however did get card details and stuff (not related to comps, more about buying tickets).
    "
    A large number of people who bought, or attempted to buy, tickets through Ticketmaster between February and 23 June 2018 may have had their personal information compromised.

    Just seen this thread after "googling" re security breach. I am receiving between 30 and 40 spam emails a day. They vary from explicit !!!!!! sites inviting me to view photos, Fedex and Walmart parcel " unable to deliver". Nearly all appear to come from Asia, Russia and USA.
    Mine was from Travelodge / Typeform security breach. Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the same?
