You are very welcome but please listen to the good advice of EVERY single reply in this thread

You have rubbish AV software and have posted links to a very suspicious website site that appears to be trying to harvest email - the very issues you warming against

There is absolutely no issue with the security of this website. I know this as I own the place and have had additional checks made by very qualified professionals to be sure within moments of you starting this thread.

And I suggest you do check your pc very with some REPUTABLE (not Russian) software as something really doesn’t sound right with it

I have posted a link to the actual site , it lists a lot of hacked sites, and I have further explained that it is not my computer that has been hacked ,it is a site that has been hacked and it's customer details stolen and published on line,and it is a list of worldwide sites

.And I do not have rubbish anti Virus software, I have the best as listed by most in the computer industry,you get what you pay for, and I want an do have the best,don't forget I did received a warning that a site I used had it's customer information stolen .

.Someone who is into high level hacking for whatever reason has published that information.

I have always believed in a high level of security,and people who do not know what type I have should not state that what I have is rubbish.
But I do realize that you are only trying to help me, and I appreciate that.
And I was only trying to highlight something that should be of concern to anyone with a computer.

The website you provided lists a lot of data that has been sent to them as opposed to "hacked sites", there are only 251 genuine open hacks on it.
So, as an example, the email address I use on here could easily have been scoped/intercepted on endless data transfers.
The massive data-set that the website holds will then cross reference and flag that up as "hacked" probably to cause worry and panic!
That then produces a simple equation from bots & cookies that {TFF + jcmaloney@****.com = "hacked"} whereas nobody has actually hacked either my email or this site.
The simplest way to protect yourself, aside from keeping software upto date, is multi-factor authorisation where you need a separate physical item (card,mobile etc) to authorise accounts.

I never use online banking,my pc is secure. If you read my latest post it says that I have not been hacked directly on my compute r( which people on here seem to think ) they have got the information from a site I have visited, and that is a big problem when a site is hacked and customer information is stolen.

I use online banking, cloud accountancy, plus loads of other information sensitive websites many times every single day

Have I ever had an issue ? No

Why ? Because I take online security very seriously and run the best antivirus software I can, I also avoid non HTTPS sites like the plague and on the rare occasion I have to visit one NEVER submit any information to it

If you have a problem then that’s down to your personally security, there is no security issue whatsoever with this website which is a secure as it gets this side of a bank ! Or 2 factor authentication system etc which considering how little data we hold on our users (nothing other than email address, IP address and a password (you choose) really are not necessary

There has been no breach of security here and never has been since the forum started

Well aren't you the clever one.

If knowledge and understanding of a subject make you clever then yes.

The impression you give me is you have just learnt something without an understanding of the whole.

We know sites get hacked, we know data gets compromised, i have had my usernames and passwords stolen from a couple of large hacks (sony etc)what Clive was saying is that it hasnt happened here and that the site is current with security measures.

oh i also know how to multi quote /cleverclogsme.

Largest recorded data breach affects 773 million email addresses – see if yours is compromised author imageJeff ParsonsThursday 17 Jan 2019 1:05 pm

Our email addresses and passwords are going to be revealed at some point, given the amount of security breaches that occur each month. But one security researcher has revealed what is probably the motherlode of all data breaches and it’s called simply ‘Collection #1’. In total, 773 million email addresses and 21 million passwords were included in a package of 12,000 files with a total size of 87GB.
It appears to be, as the name suggests, a collection of information from previous big breaches all loaded into one place. These were sitting pretty on a file hosting service called MEGA until they were found by Troy Hunt, who worked to clear up the mess a bit and catalogue the damage.
They’ve nailed us again (Shutterstock / Gorodenkoff) Although some of the email/password combinations were old and out-of-date (including Hunt’s own) the size of the find serves as a pretty bleak reminder that your information is quite probably floating about out there. ‘Like many of you reading this, I’ve been in multiple data breaches before which have resulted in my email addresses and yes, my passwords, circulating in public,’ Hunt wrote in a blog post outlining his find.
‘Fortunately, only passwords that are no longer in use, but I still feel the same sense of dismay that many people reading this will when I see them pop up again.’ An image showing some of the information from the Collection #1 data dump (Credit: Troy Hunt)
After sorting through the mess, Hunt uploaded the data to the site Have I Been Pwned? which lets people see if they’ve been affected. All you need to do to check if you’ve been compromised is to head to the site and put in your email address. You’ll get told when and how your data was breached.
This site will tell you if you’ve been affected (HaveIBeenPwned) Needless to say, data breaches will continue to happen and the best way you can stay ahead is to regularly change your password. Keep it as complex as you can. Ed Macnair, CEO of CensorNet, said: ‘Following data breaches, its common to find stolen details up for sale on the internet as it’s a hugely lucrative business, but the size of this haul is staggering.
‘Although, this was probably always going to happen as enterprising criminals have got pretty good at streamlining their processes.’ We really hope this isn’t your password (Image: Getty) ‘
Credential theft has been the leading cause of data breaches for a number of years and people still don’t seem willing to take action and put in place steps to ensure their accounts are less likely to be compromised. ‘The same advice as ever stands.
Use unique passwords for different accounts and, for consumers, a password manager to help create and store those details.
It really is about time this message sinks in.’ Given that this data dump was titled ‘Collection #1’ it immediately leaves us there might be a ‘Collection #2’ hiding out there somewhere.

Over the last two day's I have studied the list that has been published from this site,and the owner stated that there could be a second list that will be available again to all who use the internet. I have noted a few of the sites listed as being hacked they are as below, some are quite interesting.

@Loner (I may be sorry I asked this question) but what’s the point of all this “personal research” into hacked or supposedly hacked websites?

There’s almost 2 billion active websites on the internet, the law of averages suggests that there will be many, many thousands compromised or hacked at any one time.

You could never hope to alert folks to an even non-trivial number of hacks. So what’s the point of all this? :scratchhead:

Thanks for the heads up.

Now give it a rest.

Don't tell me to give it a rest, it was only a post to inform,but I did not know I was informing so many idiots.Not one of you have replied to anything I have posted on here,but possibly because of where you come from or political beliefs you choose to follow the leader who is also biased,rather than use your own brains.No wonder the farming industry struggles?.

What exactly are you wanting us to say?... 'Thank you for pointing us to these facts of website hacking I'm no longer going to use the internet ever again.. goodbye?'
Re-read Pheasant Suprise's post no #69 above and perhaps give him an answer.

Look, we are all grown ups. We use the internet. We understand that there are some people who like to hack into websites. We get that. That doesn't mean that every website has been or will be hacked. A lot of what you are posting is scare mongering, I would guess because you think you know what you are talking about, but really you don't. Stick to trusted sites, don't stick your personal details into any site you are unsure of and don't click on links in unsolicited emails.
That way you don't run the risk of losing your personal data to the bad guys.
Or, just stay away from the web/internet if you're that worried.

It is not the information you have given us that is the problem. It is your attitude to fellow forum members and your complete lack of respect in your comments towards them that is getting you this responce. I appreciate what your post is regarding but to be quite frank it is common knowledge and you ranting will in no way change that. And to say it is because of where people may come from and basically saying they have no brains will do you no favours. And as for the industry struggling it is part due to idiot's like you giving us a bad name.

Wasn’t the first post I was referring to, it was the diatribes that followed.

And you’ve had plenty of replies, your threads run to 8 pages so far.

Post 79, I don't know why there is such a big deal about this. Red Dwarfers research conclusively prove it was suicide, 'Tikka to Ride'.

The rest of this thread has gone completely over my head. I can't even begin to understand it.
