Well, Im off to change a websites password
 
If I was at your place, I would change my host immediately.
 
Didn't receive it, but I hope you didn't lost anything mate
 
Yep, got it a few days ago, I'll post back with date they sent it...

Will change hosting to wpxhosting when I can afford it

Based on the responses I guess it wasn't everyone.... Maybe everyone on my server?
 
I did not get any

Didn't receive it, but I hope you didn't lost anything mate

Are you sure? I didn't got any request to reset password

It’s true https://borncity.com/win/2019/08/26/hostinger-hacked-14-million-customes-affected/

According to the article everyone's password was reset.

I found out about it while trying to figure out why the hell I can't get my sitemap to show up.

Try to login to your dashboard and see if you have to change it.

Financial data is supposedly safe.......
 
Unfortunate.

Mandatory https://haveibeenpwned.com/ reminder to all who are worried about their emails' security.

You'll often not get notified of breaches for both technical and often PR reasons, but haveibeenpwned will usually know if your email was compromised.

If my email is there...how important is it to not use that email anymore if I make sure to change all my passwords regularly?

You can use the email still. Just make sure the password wasn't the password you used for your website lol.
 
Most dangerous are the websites that save passwords without encryption. for such prone sites never use the master password you have used in other areas too.
 
Yes they asked me to reset password. Luckily I wasn't using my personal email for this.
 
Why someone wants to use Hostinger ar the first place?
 
I got the same email .. I took the necessary steps so far but I am definitely moving :devil::anyway:
 
I thought you were talking about hostigger that's why I didnt receive anything, hostigger is safe.
