<p>Aqua, most people on Twitter have their own homepage which is individualized - you don’t go to a Twitter homepage unless you are signed out (most people probably don’t sign out) or newly exploring Twitter to sign up. </p>
<p>So in other words, when I go to Twitter I see MY page upon clicking in - not a homepage.</p>
<p>FWIW, I do have antivirus on my mac.</p>
<p>Just wanted to post this update. Roger posted on the community and forum issues section tonight that the CC forum was indeed hacked between Feb 5-10. All users should be receiving an email with information and instructions. Basically, you should change your CC password as well as Facebook and Twitter passwords. You also need to run antivirus software on your computer.</p>
<p>My anti-virus software did a scheduled scan today and I ran a malware scan after another popular site was hacked over the last couple of days. But why do I need to change my passwords for CC and Twitter. What harm could come to me if they are compromised, or are we talking about harm to CC itself?</p>
<p>Last night we got a spam notification about our email account exceeding its limit, and directing us to follow a link within 24 hours or the account would be suspended. The message had a grammatical error, and we did not follow the directions. I wonder if that is related to this CC hack, and I wonder if that latest message from Roger was legitimate.</p>
<p>I do not make a habit of reading community and forum issues threads, so I hope CC makes it clear, in other places, why we should change all our passwords for non CC accounts.</p>
<p>Also, the only time I log into CC is when I post on a thread. When the problems redirecting us to twitter were occuring, I was redirected to the fake twitter page before CC could finish loading. I never came close to logging in to CC until the problems were cleared. So how would problems with the CC site affect my email or facebook accounts?</p>
<p>I just read the entire message on the community forums, and it suggests changing passwords in CC, facebook and twitter IF you share the same passwords on those accounts. That is a big IF, which answers my question in the preceeding paragraph.</p>
<p>Well something goofy was going on last night. I read a post clocked at 10:40 something but it wasn’t even 10:30.</p>
<p>I had no issues with twitter or FB, but I usually using the iPad app for CC.</p>
<p>After last weekend I ran antivirus on my computer (one of the few I know that actually has it on a Mac) and came up fine. I did change my CC password and anywhere that shared that password. Probably overkill, but I’m not concerned about that. Twitter was changed as I was oddly logged out on my iPhone the same morning I was logged out of cc, and logged in. D’oh! I left Facebook alone as it has a non-dictionary password completely unique to any of the others and was never redirected. I also cleared history, cache, cookies, and disabled JavaScript on my iPhone. Until they come up with better protection for mobile devices, obviously a bandaid, but that’s the best I can do, beyond not linking my social network accts. </p>
<p>I really, really hope CC gets its house in order or I’ll have to go the route of logging in and out to comment. That’s a pita and makes interaction less frequent. It certainly makes it harder to keep track of the threads you’ve participated on when you’re just reading. In the end, usage goes down and Rodger has to think of something like Little Green Squares to up site visits and posts. ;)</p>
<p>No mobile site this morning.</p>
<p>Mobile working for me</p>
<p>Mobile site or app? I don’t even have the mobile option now.</p>
<p>Working fine on my iPad using browser not app.</p>
<p>The email I got from CC telling me they were hacked and recommending that I change my password went right to my Junk folder.</p>
<p>Caved and got the app since the mobile site’s not working for me. I really really dislike this app already.</p>

<p>This isn’t just a problem that CC is having. Computer hacking is widespread and pervasive. The problems users encountered with the CC forum last week are very insignificant compared to financial institutions, governments, corporations, and power utilities being hacked.</p>
<p>Taken from White House web page:</p>
<p>“Cyberspace touches nearly every part of our daily lives. It’s the broadband networks beneath us and the wireless signals around us, the local networks in our schools and hospitals and businesses, and the massive grids that power our nation. It’s the classified military and intelligence networks that keep us safe, and the World Wide Web that has made us more interconnected than at any time in human history. We must secure our cyberspace.”</p>
<p>This is a momentous problem that our country (and the world) needs to address.</p>
<p>Anyone know how to choose the format that apears when accessing via a smartphone? As of this am, all I can do is catch the same view as on my laptop, formatting, colors, sidebars, etc. I had been able to go in through “edit options” but iphone-cc doesn’t appear now. thx.</p>
<p>Oh well…I just emptied by spam folder. If I got an email from CC it went in the permanent trash.</p>
<p>LF, that’s exactly the problem I’m having! There used to be a drop down menu at the bottom with the options of CC, Fresh, or Mobile (something like that). Mobile option isn’t there anymore.</p>
<p>^^That made me check mine- the email also went to spam and I don’t have any such setting on this computer. I usually manually bootkick them.</p>
<p>Rom- Maybe it’s a temp hiccup. Neither format is “perfect,” but I liked the [what do we call it???] that had a quick “menu” button at the top right.</p>
<p>Also want to add, for regl emails, instead of opening one, I can right click on it; pulls up a menu, can select “view message source” at the bottom and I can read (or get through enough of the coding) to see if it looks genuine. asfaik, it is not the same as opening and reading.</p>
<p>I got the CC e-mail this morning. It didn’t go to my junk (spam) folder. I use Microsoft Outlook e-mail. I’ve been very pleased with the way it filters my e-mail. I’d say about 99.5% of spam goes to the junk folder, yet it rarely sends legitimate e-mails to the junk folder.</p>
<p>I haven’t been so happy with the Apple e-mail app on my iPad. It doesn’t seem to filter out a lot of spam. I just delete it without opening.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How can you tell from the coding if it is spam? What should I be looking for?</p>
