Does this leak of info affect any posters on here ?
I don't have many avatars, but I do have one on here and my email address has been included in an Firefox advise that it's in the hands of hackers re: a Gravatar leak.
Anyone else had such a notification?

MD5 hashes
HaveIBeenPwned
enumerate user profile data from Gravatar via the JSON data interchange format.

As far as I can see all that the hackers have is your Gravatar username and your email address. I don't think there are any steps you need to take because of the hack, just expect more spam as your email address is sold around the world.

Yeah, that's what I think.
Plus I have different passwords for each account that relates to the email address.
But I get enough spam as it is........
