Names, email addresses and GPS locations - as well as posts and private messages - of users of the Stuff-owned community website Neighbourly have been put up for sale on the dark web.
Neighbourly is back online after being shut down on New Year's Day when its operators became aware of a data breach.
A website monitoring the dark web says a massive database of information belonging to Neighbourly was put up for sale over Christmas.
Daily Dark Web said a user claiming to possess more than 213 million lines of data from the site offered the information for sale on a cybercrime marketplace.
Neighbourly has told its members it will look to seek a court injunction against the use of any of the material, but said it was satisfied the breach was quickly contained.
The breach came the same week as details of up to 126,000 ManageMyHealth users were accessed without authorisation.
Smallish but lovely tasting yellow plums ready to eat, stew, use in a pie, preserve or make jam with. We don't use any sprays on the tree. Plums are $2/kg. Call Carol or Stewart on, 367-3410 and collect from 200 Roslyn Road, Levin. Thank you.

We wanted to update you with what we have uncovered in regards to the potential Neighbourly data breach which we were alerted to on Thursday January 1.
Over the past few days we have worked to understand whether our members’ data had been accessed without authorisation and, if so, the extent of the breach.
We have now confirmed that there was a breach of some data from our registered users. We are now satisfied that the breach was quickly contained, and we have restored the Neighbourly site and services.
Our investigations have shown that there was unauthorised access of Neighbourly data, which included our registered members’ names, email addresses, GPS coordinates, forum posts and member communications. It did not include passwords but some publicly advertised event and business addresses were included.
Following best practice, we will look to seek a court injunction against any use of the material.
We want to apologise to our members for this occurrence and any concerns it may have caused you over the past few days. We have, of course, addressed the issue that allowed the theft to occur, and we are satisfied that the site is secure for use by all of our members. We will work closely with all our staff to ensure we have the most robust processes in place to prevent it from happening again.
Thank you to our members who contacted us over this period and for the understanding you have shown as we work through the complex issues associated with cyber theft.

Mute Swan. Note the interesting parallel, horizontal lines on the swan. I suspect they might be created by reflections from the ripples on the water surface. Please enlarge.
