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.
ACCOMMODATION REQUIRED
Our grandson (20) recently moved to Kapiti from Taranaki and is looking for accommodation. Anything considered.
He describes himself as clean and tidy, friendly but a bit reserved and quiet.
I would add trustworthy and family orientated.

Custom made sheds
A customer requested a garden shed tall enough to store bicycles vertically, strong and large enough for storage and a ride on mower and an attached woodshed. This is what we built.
Custom made, solid and competitively priced against off the shelf varieties.
