Has anyone else received one today?
I joined Mumsnet a while ago but don't think I've ever posted on there. The email says (in brief) that Mumsnet had been hacked and some passwords and email addresses stolen. The culprit has been found and they're trying to cause havoc. Advice to change password.
I'm slightly suispicious of the email, so what do others think?

There has been a massive hacking attack on the Mumsnet site, Tricia. If you look at the site you will see lots of threads about it.

Hello TriciaF
Here's what we've posted so far about it. There's also information on the Mumsnet homepage if you want to take a look.

OK thanks - I've obviously been half asleep since yesterday (I blame the dentist.)
It just shows how careful we have to be not to give personal information online about ourselves and other people.
Shocking about the threats to Mumsnet folk. shock
