Which kinda personal data did you lose here?

Did you upload your international passport page plus your bank account details?

This is a faceless forum, the only loss I expect people to suffer is repository of archival posts.

simply_me: Personal data like what? Your credit card details, right?


if your username when typed in google search produces results that shows the name goes beyond nl to sites like paypal.com, fiverr.com, and anyother site where you make business transactions. There is a likelihood that with the passwords which by way of the hacking now belongs to them could be used in ways even i cant begin to imagine.

That is not even talking of what they can use your NL ids stolen here to achieve. Honestly, this guys can wreck havoc when they want to.

Feed me more: I started receiving some funny emails in my inbox at around 7am LA time. Might this be because nairaland was hacked and the hackers got all our personal infos?

have you stopped to consider how many terabytes of storage such backup would require, and the monthly cost , in hard currency, for keeping such backups that have probably never been used in the last 7 years?

remember that this is a free site, and more resources would probably go into keeping it online than probably towards making it "always available".

perhaps that's why they opted for a monthly, quarterly or biannual backup plan. compared to the daily backup you do on your 20gb laptop.

just saying. we need to keep things in perspective.

It's a malware attack and only a group of people can do that that resulted in data loss. does your suggestion result in data loss? got it?

As many that have a hand in this wicked acts will live to face hell on earth.

But for APC, you are a failure and in failling you shall fail.

Ilekere: Personal information such as...? undecided

Laughable.


Personal infos such as how I bought a big jar of vaseline and I couldn't use it due to the inability to visit the Celebrity section.
That's personal enough.

Nwa_Nimo: Seun,

I think your subscribers have a right to know.

We also may have to take precautions in future.

And why have you not backed up 'nairaland' in 6 months?

Please advise .. . . .

Thanks,
what other personal data do you have on Nl apart from ur username & email?...& right to know what? do you see any form of 'privacy policy' on Nairaland? it an open FORUM for crying out loud...post @ ur own peril!
Re: Seun - Please Explain What Exactly Happened? Was Users Personal 'Data' Stolen? by Krak(m): 7:19pm On Jun 27, 2014
I must tell you that I am really feeling paranoid at the moment. I think while Seun is still trying to grapple with this problem, I will also be doing my own part.

I am changing my passwords tonight. ASAP.
