Many users here were pwned. Were you aware?

Have taken preceutions and changed passwords.
Two major data breaches pwned many of us here:

Avast: Avast: In May 2014, the Avast anti-virus forum was hacked and 423k member records were exposed. The Simple Machines Based forum included usernames, emails and password hashes.

Compromised data: Email addresses, Passwords, Usernames (changed my data)

Malwarebytes
Malwarebytes: In November 2014, the Malwarebytes forum was hacked and 111k member records were exposed. The IP.Board forum included email and IP addresses, birth dates and passwords stored as salted hashes using a weak implementation enabling many to be rapidly cracked.

Compromised data: Dates of birth, Email addresses, IP addresses, Passwords, Usernames, Website activity (changed data)

I have to find this out from Consumers Reports??? WTF!!! Can you say lawsuit for not notifying me???

Everybody then had been properly notified and had to change account settings.
