Heard on the news today that data had been hacked from BigFooty, information of thousands of users, also got into PMs between users..

I see nothing mentioned on News page or tops of pages to tell us...

..what's the story please?
Basically if you haven’t received an email from BF, it’s highly unlikely you’ve been affected.

That's not true - if you've used an old email address on your BF registration you may not have received it, or it could have ended up in a spam filter (mine did on GMail).

In summary, if you've sent a PM or posted on a private board or other restricted areas of the site, someone may have gotten access to those.

That’s why I added the link.
 
Not having an understanding of how this sort of stuff works, what happens now and of what use is it to the "bad people" who have done it?

For you specifically, it depends what you've put into PMs. If you've got chats that reveal personal details about yourself it could be used for identity theft, either by someone posing as you to a third party or posing as a third party to you, e.g. pretending to be your bank calling you.

https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/types-...gain-your-personal-information/identity-theft provides examples of what could happen.

Thank god the AFL found a way to help those poor MCG tenants. After all getting the MCC to pay 150k - 200k to Collingwood, Essendon, Hawthorn, Richmond etal for home games goes someway towards helping the most impoverished sides. #levelplayingfield.

Is Big O going to be the no.1 ruck once Stef hangs up the boots?

Looked really good Saturday and has shown a bit before.
 
Riccutio throwing some digs at former Crows, with the exception of Charlie.

"Charlie Cameron was one we didn't want to lose. One of few we weren't happy to let go.

"He got a very, very good contract from Brisbane who were down the bottom of the ladder and had money in their salary cap. (We) couldn't match that.

"When you're at the top of the ladder and your salary cap is chock-a-block, you haven't got much room to move do you? If you pay someone overs or a massive amount of money, then it means you need to lose someone else."

So one of the blokes on Pat McAfee's show has jumped on board the lions. Hopefully the club gets around it.



The AFL have spent untold millions trying to take our game international, and all it took was a little old cold virus.

They need to buy in the best advertising guy around and capitalise on this once in forever opportunity.

Please Gil, don’t think you have the talent in house, this is brand new territory that is a massive step up. It’s the big boys and frankly I’m not sure you’re up for it.

I think it was 98 or 99 - too young to remember which but it was Brisbane v the Hawks. Brisbane won...and won...and won... Until I decided to swap from supporting my families team to the pride of Brisbane town. Best choice ever !
