A running account of all tears and frustrations that lead to my successes. I just can't ever remember a time not sewing, or looking, or stashing....
So, I'll show you mine if you show me yours!!!
... has anyone else encountered this message on PatternReview.com today?
I am a tad reluctant to pop my email addie in, just incase this is bogus! But I can't seem to get to any page without this delightful message appearing. Hope someone else has had the same message ... thanks for your help ... J
Thanks for this! When you live on the other side of 'The Pond' you do wonder what you are missing out on - have now changed my password and sewing can resume ... J
Thanks Judith... I will get in touch after my travels as I want to get a Brisbane seamstress meeting organised. Hope you are enjoying your holiday time too.
I too, received that message upon clicking a PR link. When I saw that Deepika had also emailed me, I felt confident in changing my password. Although, I must admit, I was confused by the comment that PR does not store CC information, and thus there are no worries that it was compromised. When I go to 'my account' on PR, I can see my CC information that they store. I have checked my CC account and so far, nothing is amiss.
I read that part about the CC information too and was a bit skeptical. I've never given them my CC, so I don't have to worry either way, but it's odd that it said they don't store it if you can still see it. Maybe it's on a different server? I'm not a techie, but I think that's a possibility???
I also got the email. Cautious, like you, I didn't click any link in the email but opened a second browser and went to the site. The screen asking me to change my password was there, so I did. All works now. Seems to be real and not an elaborate scam.
I received an email from Deepika and this popped up when I logged on to Patternreview. Email said no financial info was compromised, but email addresses and passwords were hacked. Changed my password.
Yes I have received this message
ReplyDeleteI got an email explaining that this would happen when I went to the site, due to a security breach.

DeleteYeah, that comment had me worried too. I'd keep a close and regular eye on your credit card statements for the meantime!!
DeleteI got an email message also - went ahead and changed my information.
ReplyDeleteI had this also. The site was down most of the morning before that popped up, so I wasn't surprised when I read it either.
ReplyDeleteI had the same email. The website was having troubles when I tried to log in last night.

ReplyDeleteYes I got an email.
DeleteI got one too. I did change my password. I have never given the PR website my CC, so I wasn't worried about that.
ReplyDeleteI have never given them my CC details either, and probably won't. Thanks for telling us about this Judith - I would have had the same concerns as you.
ReplyDeleteGot it as well, and reset my password. No CC on file...

ReplyDeleteI actually got the spam email from the hacker. Lucky old me. So I knew this bit was real as I'd sent it to Deepika.
