      Equifax raises the impact of US data breach
      http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-41474329

      I think it is safe to assume if youre an adult in the US and have ever received credit at any time in your life, you are affected.

        I think it is safe to assume if youre an adult in the US and have ever received credit at any time in your life, you are affected.

        Even if you aren't in the US, Canadians and Brits were also effected. (not to the same scale though)

          Wow, only a few decades behind competition. Hunt groups were available in the days of analog telephony.

          But not on $1 phone lines.

            Right, I recommend this service to people with one or two phones all the time. It’s simply not cost-effective set up an entire PBS for only a couple of phone. Most of the time those users also do not need this in feature, but it is a good solid feature to add to their offer.

              Of course it takes the BBC to announce the update. Typical.

                            Yeah, that's pretty much what I said after a giggle at their expense.

                              Now I get to say, You're kidding, right? to you.

                              MS is trying to put themselves everywhere. Keep themselves in people's minds.
                              Not to mention that they are trying to compete with Google in some feature ways, first one to mind - what you're browsing on your desktop can now flow to your phone and vice versa, just like Google can do.

                              Now that said - I don't think the public will care.

                                Just another spot for their browser to fail and Mac people to mock them, though.

                                  What are you talking about? This means it will work since the backend has to be webkit.

                                        This is for iOS and Android, not macOS.

                                        You trotted out the Mac people phrase incorrectly and I simply ignored that and treated your comment as "Apple users"

                                        OH, my brain just saw it and thought Mac for some reason. Sure, iOS will work, and be pointless.

                                          Disqus will reset passwords for users of the popular comments plugin provider after a hack in which millions of credentials were taken by unknown attackers.
                                           
                                          ...
                                           
                                          No evidence of unauthorised logins to Disqus have been discovered so far, but the company said the email addresses revealed were in plain text and users may receive spam or other unwanted messages.
