As I understand it, private messages were accessed and leaked.

Unless you posted important personal details such as email addresses, phone numbers, bank details or other sensitive information then a BF user wouldn't be concerned.

Nevertheless, it's massive incompetence by BF in being unable to guard against such a breach.

Lesson: don't post on BF when you could post on Nicks instead!

I have an account, but haven't posted there for many years now.

Certainly PM is not something I really ever used anyway.

Mate, they let Carlton supporters on there! CARLTON SUPPORTERS!

Like they're legitimate, useful members of society!

They only have themselves to blame...

And we thought the Ashley Madison hack was bad. Imagine what will happen when people's clandestine support for St Kilda is revealed!
