Pinterest hack?

[Valgal]

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Got an email from Pinterest

"Someone just logged in to your Pinterest account from a new location in the Korea, Republic of. We just want to confirm that this was you."

I went in and changed my password.

If you clicked on or repinned the best jobs in america pin, it's been causing hacks. so delete that if its on any of your boards

omg, there's all kinds of stuff in there that I didn't pin!

[Valgal]

And I don't remember pinning or clicking on a best jobs in America pin either. Well, hopefully it's done and over.

Mine was hacked this week, too. I changed my PW, and it's been okay since as far as I know.

If oyu even CLICKED on it, it could have done it. That happened to several of my friends. check your boards just to be safe

Yep...never even clicked on it. I figure my job isn't changing so why bother?! LOL!

There is also the one that says WANTED - want to make extra salary filling out surveys. It's been on a few different people's boards the past couple days.

I also had this happen to my account this week. I hadn't seen that pin, clicked on it or pinned it. But, it was on a brand new board pinned 3 times by whoever got into my account. Crazy!

I think it's kind-a nice pinterest notified you there was a problem!

This was me, too. I just changed my PW and haven't noticed anything since.

I clicked on it so that I could report it as spam, but I don't think my account has been hacked or anything.

Mine seems to be ok. No pins other than the ones I pinned. And no new boards.

For sure!

Guess I'll go check my Pinterest account.... I haven't been on in a bit but all this talk of hacks has me wondering.

I didn't receive any email for hack. Maybe I only follow a few people, so I'm in safe
