OMG! What happened to Justine? Link pretty please.

No, I'm not Bn! hmm

Still want to know what harm can be done though. Just out of interest of course.

On a different tone.

I was very sorry to read on a online newspaper, what happened to Justine last week.
It must have been hugely scary and upsetting.

I hope that her and her family are fine, and that sort of thing never happens to her again.

Can I say that I am a little cross with gransnet.
As I asked that question last week on Site stuff and was told it wasnt necessary.

I know you are saying now to do it as a precaution, but it looked rather obvious to me last week, with all the goings on on mumsnet, that it was wise to update them on gransnet.

I have just done as you suggest, but noticed a message saying that there was a problem with the page so it was being "reloaded." Is this normal?

Are you 'fessing to being mischievous jbf ? grin

Why would it matter íf someone hacked into your GN account? confused

I suppose they could put mischievous posts up. But no one would notice in my case anyway.

In case you're following the hacker story over on Mumsnet, we wanted to let you know that there is nothing to show that Gransnet is under a similar attack. However, as a precaution it might be a good idea to update your passwords (good practice to do this regularly anyway). You can reset your password here. And as usual, if you spot anything odd, please report it to us or email us at [email protected]
