Default Pinterest hack?
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

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

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!

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.

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