This explains the email received a few days ago:
> We take your security and privacy very seriously. Very recently, our security team discovered sophisticated attacks on our network, involving the illegal access of forum user information, possibly including your password. Our investigation currently indicates that the attackers accessed customer IDs and encrypted passwords on our systems. We have taken the precaution of resetting your account password. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused but felt that it was necessary to help protect you and your account.
> To regain access to your account:
> Visit the vBulletin forums at http://www.vbulletin.com/settings/account http://www.vbulletin.com/settings/account
> Enter in your existing password followed by your new password, twice for confirmation.
> Save this page at the bottom.
> Please choose a new password and do not use the same password you used with us previously. We also highly recommend that you chose a password that you are not using on any other sites.
> If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our support team at http://www.vbulletin.com/go/techsupport http://www.vbulletin.com/go/techsupport or support@vbulletin.com.
> Sincerely,
Of course I reset the password to another generated LastPass one, but I did wonder what the scope of the attack was.
- pgrote 13y agoAre you sure that email was from vbulletin? I received the same one and it didn't come from vbulletin's domain name. If you go to the root of the domain name it says "Test page." When you click the "read in browser" option you are taken to a page where all the links to access the forums do not work. I thought it was a phishing attempt.
- buro9 13y agoAh, you are right: > http:// http:// click.shopping.ibemail. com/ Not that it matters, I never follow links in emails and went direct to vbulletin.com I bet they emailed everyone on their stolen email list though.
