We good?

is that address even correct?

nope mistake by the person who wrote that, but the person that initially spoke of the breach mentioned it happened 4 days ago.

 

[bgillisp]

Yeah not even the right address, the dot is in the wrong spot. Probably trying to spoof you to going to the wrong site so they can steal your actual password.

 

[dragoonwys]

We should be good, I trust that someone here would have told us about it if it happened a few days ago.
...Unless there was some high class coverup going on

 

[Willibab]

I can always just make another account anyway

 

[Andar]

what server/site was that even posted on? And what proof do they have that they are not being trolled?

 

[Touchfuzzy]

That would be news to me? Would love to know where he is getting that info from, considering no one on our side has heard anything.

The later comment from the person who reported that it happened was:
HIBP, Avast Anti track, and Google.

If there's been nothing on your end the officially word is false reports, no longer a trustworthy source.

I usually get alerts from Dashlane if they're notified of a data breach - and, of course, one would expect the site itself to know.

But, then, it took all of 30 seconds to change my password just in case

no longer a trustworthy source.

any reliable source would always give links to their own sources instead of just saying "read on xy".
Especially if it was reported by google and similar sources, a link to the original report would have been easy.

that is why I asked where you got your info from, because you also didn't give a link to your source, only a screenshot of a post without any adress.
And that is a very bad habit for important news - always cite your sources.

That looks like a Discord post, and the person who posted it apparently got the info from someone else, so there's no way to track the source without heading to whatever Discord server that came from and inquiring about it.

even in discord you can post links into the chat. The original source should have been asked for that link and proof before the admin posted it for everyone, and then that admin should have included the link as well

Yeah that's why I included with as much information as was given. Linking to within their discord might have come across differently as intended.
-The admin stated they later 'checked' and said they came up with the same results.

I did enquire within the rmweb discord though afterwards realised how disconnected the two are.

...especially as we don't HAVE an rmweb discord. The only official one is GGGs.

I know, but I had meant that there was no visible link in the post OP provided, meaning you'd have to actually visit the server to try and fish for info.

Are you sure you haven't been visiting questionable Discord servers? Mismatched address. Demand for immediate action. This looks like your typical phishing scam.

No wonder. RMweb is a site dedicated to model trains.
