Databreach at the TVHeadend Forum?

Added by Oliver Doll about 3 years ago

Hi folks,

I just received an email from to my email address which I ONLY used to register here.

In that email they claim that "You received this email because you signed up on our website or made a purchase from us.", but no, I never used that specific email address rather than entering this forum.

Do you have a data breach within Tvheadend infra!?!

If I click on your username in the title of this topic I see your email address. I presume you didn't tick the 'hide my email address' box in My Account -> Preferences.

Not a security breach, just a web scraper.

Indeed, a "data breach" by design not having checked the "hide my email button"
