AIBU and GDPR - Mumsnet hit by data breach

Famous for anonymously sticking it to millions of men around the world, and not unaccustomed to having the odd squabble amongst themselves, users of Mumsnet have been able to log in to other people's accounts and see account details and personal messages amongst other personal data.

No particular reason for this thread, as it'll probably be trending on BBC tomorrow anyway. But in the spirit of the current GD trend to post RSS threads...

Rather surprised to see you've come to the dark side!

The_Abyss · 8 Feb 2019 at 23:13

To keep on trend, I probably need to be offended by the above response!

Can we blame this on brexit somehow?

No idea what the first two acronyms mean without googling ?

Mumsnet is something about softies ?

Am i supposed to be outraged or say it happened to me once, it gets confusing now.

I'll go with it happened to me once #gofundmefornoreason

46 users, how many on here are affected

come one, who’s got an account or two....

Feek · 8 Feb 2019 at 23:27

I've been tempted but never actually signed up to it because I'm not actually a mum.

Rannoch · 8 Feb 2019 at 23:33

I’m having a look at their forum just now. It has that Claire Rayner feel to it.

I hadn't clicked on the link til you said 46 users, had to check. LOL

There is probably a crappy B&B website in Skegness with more users than that.

**** me , 46 users out of the entire ******* world of the internet - That is lottery winning, being struck by a meteor called Elvis, whilst being hit by lightning out of a Great White shark that is attacking you off the coast of Atlantis sort of number.

Mumsnet. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

9:48pm and I’ve just told my DP to go have a shower. He’s “worked” from home since Wednesday so sat all day on his laptop “working” then when 5pm comes, the laptop goes off and he retreats to the bedroom to play either his MacBook or Xbox. He hasn’t showered since Tuesday.

Sounds like she's married to an OCUK poster.

They have some weirder threads than OCUK tbh... like this classic:

I suppose the bloke from the previous thread who doesn’t shower has got a dairylea dunker.
