Your Forum is leaking e-mail addresses
« on: February 21, 2012, 04:25:34 AM »
Hi Alltogether

Your Forum leaked my E-mail Address to spammers. Maybe you should check your Systems and check how this happened. I'm sure the information has been stolen from your System because I use a dedicated mail address for each sign up I do. Now I have to change the E-Mail Address here. Please be more careful with my information next time!

Regards, Rothi

Should we change passwords / e-mail addresses? If yes, you should post a public announcement.

Unfortunately I don't know how big of breach has occurred since I don't control the forum software or the server I have passed along the situation to the forum administrator and awaiting to hear back.

I've been getting the same thing as well. Around 5 to 10 emails a day. I create email accounts for each forum that I belong to.

Looks like I'll be doing a new one soon for here.

Changing my password as well.

Good point to change the password aswell :)

Its a good thing to have individual addresses for each service and then let them forward to a catchall-address. The roundcubeforum.net@mydomain.com address is now forwarding to spam@mydomain.com :)
Strange thing that those addresses got leaked as I'm considering vBulleting as very secure. Hope that it was just a little breach and not that your server has been compromised... Good luck then...

Maybe an official announcement would be good letting users know that something happened and that they should update their credentials.
