My Flipboard account has been breached. I used the same password there I use here. I have changed my password here on Seniors Only Club and have a number of passwords yet to change or cancel. A goodly number of accounts on Flipboard were breached and they are investigating, have hired security to assist with the investigation and have notified authorties. This post may not be necessary but posting to alert anyone who might use Flipboard.
Description Flipboard is a news aggregator and social network aggregation company based in Palo Alto, California, with offices in New York, Vancouver and Bejiing. Its software, also known as Flipboard, was first released in July 2010. Wikipedia Headquarters: Palo Alto, CA Founders: Mike McCue, Evan Doll @Ken Anderson, I've used Flipboard since 2010 and before that two years on a company flipboard bought out. It is where I get most of my news. @Gloria Mitchell, Since using the Internet going back to the early nineties, I've used only five or six passwords only for everything. I now keep a password book and have created a couple of new passwords. Foolish me, huh?
@Bill Boggs If it's a news aggregator, what could they have been interested in by breaching it? Why did they breach it? Did you use your real name and a password and they were interested in that kind of data?
Don't know why it was breached; apparently neither does Flipboard. Yes, I used my real name as I have done here. It seems names and passwords may have been taken, according to Flipboard. That's all I know. Perhaps I should not have posted here regarding this and only changed password. I'm not too astute on these matters.
Not worried, I've taken all necessary security measures. Now I'm going to have a cup of coffee at the Soup to Nuts or is it the other way around, Nuts to Soup. Got lost when I left the paper mill. Was thinking they had a Rib Crib but when I couldn't find it, have my coffee and drift South. But I'm puzzled. Two things: 1. How do it know its the State's biggest little town and 2. Caribou says this is America's most northerly town when Limestone sets practically on it's northern border. Taking another one of my trips.
