On August 30th The Freecycle Network / Freecycle.org became aware of a data breach on Freecycle.org. As local Town group volunteer moderators we have been asked to reach out to to you as as a local group member to ask that you change your Freecycle.org password as soon as possible. We very much apologize for the inconvenience.
Further information on the breach and on how to change your password may be found here:
https://freecycle.helpscoutdocs.com/article/319-data-breach-august-2023
[and there is a "?" on that page if you have further questions]
The breach of data includes usernames, User IDs, email addresses and hashed passwords. Because of the exposure of personal passwords we are taking every measure to quickly inform members about the need to change their passwords. If you have used the same password elsewhere, you are well advised to change the password there as well. No other personal information was compromised and the breach has been closed and is being reported to the respective privacy authorities.
While most email providers do a good job at filtering out spam, you may notice that you receive more spam than usual. As always, please remain vigilant of phishing emails, avoid clicking on links in emails, and don't download attachments unless you are expecting them.
Here are some useful links to help keep you safe:

No dia 30 de agosto, a Freecycle Network / Freecycle.org tomou conhecimento de uma violação de dados no Freecycle.org. Como moderadores voluntários de grupos locais, fomos solicitados a entrar em contato consigo enquanto membro do grupo local, para solicitar que altere sua senha do Freecycle.org o mais rápido possível. Pedimos imensa desculpa pelo inconveniente.
Mais informações sobre a violação, e como alterar sua senha, podem ser encontradas aqui:
https://freecycle.helpscoutdocs.com/article/319-data-breach-august-2023
[e há um "?" nessa página se você tiver mais perguntas]
A violação de dados inclui nomes de utilizador, IDs de utilizador, endereços de e-mail e senhas com hash. Devido à exposição de senhas pessoais, estamos tomando todas as medidas para informar rapidamente os membros sobre a necessidade de alterar suas senhas. Se usou a mesma senha noutro local, é aconselhável alterá-la também. Nenhuma outra informação pessoal foi comprometida e a violação foi encerrada, tendo sido relatada às respectivas autoridades de privacidade.
Embora a maioria dos provedores de e-mail faça um bom trabalho na filtragem de spam, você pode perceber que recebe mais spam do que o normal. Como sempre, fique atento a e-mails de phishing, evite clicar em links de e-mails e não descarregue anexos, a menos que esteja esperando por eles.
Aqui estão alguns links úteis para ajudar a mantê-lo seguro:
