An email has come, purportedly from Tapatalk, claiming that it has had a security breach.
So be careful of emails purporting to come from Tapatalk: carefully check links before clicking. Firefox shows the link at the bottom-left of the window; other browsers might require right-click > copy link address > paste into simple text editor.
Tapatalk security breach
Re: Tapatalk security breach
I received this email at the same time as JDAW. I have since logged into TapaTalk's admin forum (without using the link in the email), changed our password and upgraded to the current stable release of the server-end TapaTalk software. I have tested it on my iPhone and it seems to be working. Please check.
Hopefully our back door has been well and truly closed to naughty business.

Re: Tapatalk security breach
Also just received a message from Tapatalk telling me to change my password. How tedious.

Even if the original email from TT was genuine, it might be that subsequent emails aren’t. So still be careful.jdaw1 wrote:So be careful of emails purporting to come from Tapatalk: carefully check links before clicking.
