Your best bet is to email the contact on the notice.

But for individual convo messages, edit them and delete the text before deleting the message to fully satisfy yourself they have been completely wiped.

Thanks, but there is no edit button for me on previous ones. Nor can I see a way of deleting the conversation.

You should be able to edit any of your own convo messages. Email the contact on the notice and a solution will be found.

So it’s just related to information shared on private bf messages?

 

[raptalia]

Sounds like it. If you have shared confidential information via a conversation you could have some issues.

Not a good look for the site managers but at least they let us know what has happened.

What about all the willy pictures I have been sending via PM?

And private boards like many team boards have.

They are secured on a different server so they are all safe.

Safely in your collection no doubt, do you put together club photo albums with them?

Phewww, I was worried about my willy being exposed all over Bigfooty.com not that my willy can be seen anyway it's that small.

 

[FireKrakouer]

Any ideas yet on who the perpetrators were Chief? Or which country the attack originated from?

Wow this is in the news.

Big Footy data breach exposed private details of up to 100,000 users

An AFL fan site is contacting members after cyber security researchers found about 70 million records were exposed for download.

[Chief]

It’s nowhere near 100,000 accounts affected.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Is this only related to private messages?

How about our bigfooty passwords?

Well this is awkward

 

[Chief]

Well this is awkward

It does indeed suck.

 

[mellowyellow]

Its good to know that all my nude and cross dressing pics are not for public consumption

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

So all this was searchable since 2012?

 

[Chief]

No - we hold no private convos from prior to 2012.

Sorry not sure you got my question. I get that all pre 2012 pms are gone.

Have post April 2012 pms been searchable via the search function? Is that the breach?

Or is it some orchestrated hack?
