EHarmony Hacking Scandal
Hopefully you've not got too many dirty pics on your eHarmony account because hackers have taken “unlocking the key to your heart” to a whole new level. They've stolen up to 1.5 million user passwords from the popular dating site and posted them online, Ars Technica reports.Don't underestimate the power of internet dating. If you’ve been to a wedding in the last few days EHarmony might be the invisible best man standing at the alter. The Daily Mail reports eHarmony is responsible for 500 weddings every day in the U.S. The site also operates in UK, Canada, Australia and Brazil.
The site has moved swiftly to regain the trust of its users by emailing those whose privacy has been breeched and resetting passwords. The extent of the hacking, and access to private user information, is not yet clear.
Are you an eHarmony member? Has your privacy been breeched?

nope. no.
now the bitter hacker geeks can use those passwords and email themselves as they pretend to be the stuckup girls, who don't respond to their messages, then temporarily feel better that they weren't rejected until they get out of denial and realize that they won't be flocking to the altar like the other eharmoners
What? Wasn't Linkedin hacked just a few days ago as well? I know hacking goes on all the time but it just seems unusual for two major sites to be affected in quick succession.
@Statuess - I was thinking the same thing.. Very strange.
I want to make a christianmingle.com account and message people telling them that God told me that they were the one i had been waiting for all my life. That's probably a really bad idea though lol
