    Jup, came here to see if other people posted about that and seems like im not the only one who received that spammy stuff. thank god i had a unique password on boards and a unique username i dont use anywhere else.

    It's an IM, nothing to do with your password, nothing hacked, just spam.

    To re-iterate: there has been no known data breach on Boards.

    This spam is as a result of bot accounts signing up and sending spam PMs. Your personal data has not been breached.

    There has been another wave overnight but again, the lads in HQ are doing a trojan job in cleaning up all this mess.

    Please continue to report. I know there are thousands of them out there, but the odd new user is popping up and we don’t want to miss any

    All the new PMs from overnight should now be deleted. Unfortunately though there are a very large number of e-mails with content sent which we cannot deal with, so please remain vigilant

    Do you suggest changing our boards password? Has any personal details/data/password been compromised?

    They are setting up new accounts, not trying to infiltrate existing ones. As already mentioned I'm certainly not aware of any personal data being compromised

    Periodically changing passwords is good practice anyway
