Hello


I'd be grateful to hear from anyone organising voluntary social activities or indeed commercial events around SE22, who has had recent experience of having their email accounts hacked? We have had two email accounts compromised in the past 10 days. I know it's quite common for email accounts to be compromised if you use public wifi but there may be specific local reasons for concern here, so I would like to hear from anyone who has had experienced the same thing, and especially if you have had any inappropriate behaviour targeted at your event/s at the same time.


Many thanks.

It certainly seeems very strange languagelounger, can you be more specific?


Are you talking about an email account with someone like yahoo or google? Are you talking about a corporate email account like work? Are you talking about your PMs on here?


It's usually very difficult to hack email accounts on public or corporate services. Industrial or state level attacks on a local voluntary service would be overkill, so it seems more likely that someone guessed your passwords.


My suspicions would be nosing around people who had access to the PC you use to access your email - particularly if the two of you who were hacked knew each other.


How do you know you were hacked? Sensible hackers wouldn't leave a trace.

Hi


I'm just looking for information from anyone who has may have had a similar experience, and if so, we would like to hear from them, and please get in touch by private message.


Re: Email accounts used by people organising local activities hijacked/hacked recently, any other inappropriate behaviour that has caused you problems. We have been running for 3 years and we have reason to be concerned about this for the first time.


Very specific request, thanks, and no reason why it would be of interest to anyone who would not fall under this specific request. Thanks.

Well languagelounger, I work in tbe industry so may have been able to help you solve your problem.


You're aware I take it that if someone had been using your account to send emails the IP address of the hacker's computer is encoded in the email, as is a variety of other useful information?


However, now you've been so rude I won't bother.

    • Came across this link today that generates a stock letter to you MP if you object to the Proposed chases in their current format.  https://takingthepip.co.uk/write-to-your-mp/#letter Again, not trying to change individuals minds on here but get a fair consultation and discussion 
    • @HeadNun I haven't been through the assessment for mental health issues, god knows they treat you like you have one when you are assessed for motability issues. Therefore I can't comment on what you've read but don't always believe what the media telks you as they often sensationalise things to sell papers and bend the story slightly 😉  All I am doing in this thread is asking people who disagree to the PIP reform in its current format to write to their MP to say so and ask for a well consulted and thought through change. I'm not here to change people's minds but happy to discuss how disability impacts lives.
    • I hate the idea of someone with a genuine disability losing money, it's heart-breaking. I thought the whole idea of these cuts was to get kids with mental health issues, which we used to call 'the human condition', off benefits and into a job. Before anyone says anything, I'm not talking about people with severe autism.  If the tests are so astringent, Spartacus, how come healthy youngsters with anxiety are getting benefits? It's ludicrous.  This from The Times:  Then there is mental health. This is the fastest-growing category of claim; anxiety and depression is now the single biggest reason to claim PIPs, accounting for 16 per cent of spending. Including problems such as autism and ADHD, there are 1.4 million people claiming for “psychiatric disorders”, almost 40 per cent of the total.   NHS figures on Thursday found that 23 per cent of people of working age now have a mental disorder, up from 18 per cent a decade ago, rising to 26 per cent in 16 to 24 year-olds. Young people are most likely to claim benefits for mental health problems and there is growing concern about a generation who may do so for decades. The number of children on disability living allowance, the precursor to PIPs, will reach a million by the end of the decade, double pre-Covid levels. Most of these are for behavioural problems such as ADHD or learning disabilities
