How do we know our personal details were not stolen from your site? I have asked to be removed from this site as a security concern. Sad it happened but having had my personal details stolen on Facebook I don't want it to happen again
Did they hack our webcams? Do we need to put on clothes while PEing?
I got that email message and just assumed it was Steve Howe all pissed off about the way we talk about him here at PE.
Yes, it's important to get the facts straight. All you need to join PE is to have an email address and log in password. Most people:
- Don't share personal information on PE
- Use an alias for their username
- Don't use a picture of themselves for their avatar
And having your email address alone is less "harmless" as someone having your phone number (which is often given without you knowing from otherwise reputable businesses).
The best advice that someone can give for PE if someone does obtain your email address is to change your password here at PE and not to use passwords here that you also use with online banking or retailers like Amazon.

I'm glad this is straightened out because I'm one of the members wanting to stay on this forum.
On a serious note - Thanks to Duncan and team for being right on top of this thing. As a very frequent reader of this forum (and occasional poster), I really enjoy this place. Much appreciation.
Currently attempting to catch up on all of the chaos in the Market Square.
I got Duncan's email hours before I got the phony email. Good thing, since I am the antithesis of internet savvy.

You can always make a pseudonym email at gmail (a.o) and use it just for this one or another purpose.
Thanks indeed for quickly addressing this situation.
Now we have to find out who really is behind the problem.
There is an impressive list of suspects.

Geoff Downes
Billy Sherwood
Ahmet Zappa
Jon Anderson's Dark Aspect
Regressive Ears

Firefox told me to change my password for this site. How did they know? Anyway, I did change my password.
