Notice of data breach

[KLW4025]

Notified by Chrome of a data breach. Real or scam?

I haven't had confirmation of a data breach by HealthUnlocked and this is the first I've heard of one. Irrespective, if you have used a unique password for your HealthUnlocked account (that is you don't use the HU password for any other internet site) and you have just changed your HU password, then you are safe. The fact that you have been able to log in with your old password indicates that probably no one has accessed your HU account, particularly if you don't see any past posts/replies or changes not made by you.

Thank you for taking the time to pursue this and the reference to the article on site security.

I use Chrome daily. Get data breach notifications frequently. I now ignore them.

Thank you. I was hoping it was a glitch. Changed my PW any way.

Sorry for the very late response. HU got back to me on the 2nd September to say that there hasn't been a breach detected and to consider this a scam.

(I'm having difficulty keeping up with my email due to concentration difficulties with post-herpetic neuralgia from shingles.)
