Data breach

A data breach on our site temporarily left members' email addresses exposed. Fortunately passwords were not exposed, no other personal information was compromised and the breach has been closed and reported to the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

What this means for you: While most email providers do a good job at filtering out spam, you may notice an uptick. As always, please remain vigilant of phishing emails, avoid clicking on links in emails, and don't download attachments unless you are expecting them.

Finally, we want to emphasize that passwords were not exposed in this breach. While you don't need to change your password at this time, it's a good idea to regularly update your passwords.
