Hi all. Microsoft Edge just notified me of a breach of my passwords on 2 embroidery websites - Hatched in Africa and Designs by SICK. As I had not signed in to either in months, I have to assume there was a leak on their sites. You might want to go log in and then change your passwords on these two.

Thank you

Glad to pass along the news.

I should have mentioned I did not receive this notification by email. There was simply a red dot beside the Microsoft silhouette on the notifications bar at the top of page.

Good advice for all of us. Thanks

Just be sure the message is from MEdge..do not sign in to the sites from the notification email. The spammers are using PayPal, delivery services, etc etc to lure you into "clicking in" so they can capture your computer. I must receive 5-10 notices ea day that my McAfee security is expiring….I’ve never had McAfee! But that’s easy spam to recognize …some are more sophisticated and believable. I always ck the sender before deleting and actually sign in manually to a site.
The most annoying scam going now is by telephone..a call saying you are due a refund from your power company, but they can only give to you via your credit or debit card number. I played along one day, pretending to be old and needy , but when I claimed to be too poor to have money in a bank & unable to secure a credit card, they disconnected immediately. I love tying them up as long as possible ..it takes their time away from bothering someone else.
