Password breach?

Every time I have to log into the forum for the last few weeks (which happens every now and then, it just logs me out randomly), I get a Google warning about a website breach exposing my password and I should check it. I haven't yet.

Anyone else getting this or is it just me? I'm on Chrome and it's only here that the warning appears, no other sites.

I've not seen anything like that - would be curious to know if anyone else has seen it.

I wouldn't expect this site to be a particularly significant target for hackers, with only 26 users total (and fewer than half of those active). and I hope nobody's using the same password on The Soc as they do for their online banking, so there's probably limited threat if anyone has stolen our database.

I've just upgraded the server to a paid one that enables SSL connections, so we should now be accessible on https://society.demondownload.xyz - just need to figure out how to force that connection.

SSL connections are now enforced, so you should see a nice little padlock icon in your address bar.

Oh, and one more thing, about

(which happens every now and then, it just logs me out randomly)

The sessions only last two weeks, so you'll have to log in again every 14 days.

I see the padlock!

Tried logging out and in again. Got the warning again. Hmm. Will need to see if it's just my phone, but I'm pretty sure I got this warning on my laptop too. Only here, not on other stuff like Amazon or Google Mail. Weird.

How can I post an image here from my phone? I took a screenshot when it happened.

I got that warning, too, on both my phone and desktop.

Phew, not just me then. Makes me feel slightly better. Slightly.
