Skeptical Science user database compromised
A hacker has gained access to the databases of Skeptical Science, a site that focuses its efforts on the issue of global warming and uploaded its entire user database to a Russian website.
It’s uncertain at this time if the hacker managed to decrypt the passwords attached to the user accounts, but as a precaution customers are being advised to change them.
“Rest assured, we are working hard to upgrade Skeptical Science's security in order to more robustly protect users' private details. We are also in the process of soliciting legal advice on these matters and contacting the appropriate authorities,” said John Cook, creator and administrator for the site.
