Data leak?

[rclouse79]

I got a weird message on my iPhone that said there had been a data leak on this site and to change my password. Just me or did anyone else get something similar?

I didn't get anything like that.

@Jskaanland, did you see anything weird?

Did they ask you to "kindly" change your password?

I did not recieve that message either.

It was my iPhone, which made me think there might be something to it. It sent me to my settings to update my password.

I would have felt better if they did. Then I could have told them to kindly pound sand.

I'm not aware of anything. Can you send a screenshot?

Just you but I never use my real information online as a old I.T geek...

Data harvesting is the new oil!

Apple somehow compares your passwords to those having been involved in data leaks and prompts you to change. See here and my xfnity password:

Kindly share your password and I will check it against our records.

It's total OK to change you pw as long as you never follow the provided link.
Navigate for yourself.

You may already know this, but don’t ever use a password for more than a single account. Belt and suspenders is to never use the same login ID - even if you need an email address for your user ID. Use an alias email address.
