This weekend we learned that MidValley Voice user account information was accessible for several days.
A list of usernames, passwords and email addresses was available in an obscure network known primarily to product testers working for our vendor, who partners with us to operate the MidValley Voice network.
After learning of the security problem, our partner immediately secured the account information. Further investigation leads us to believe that exposure was very limited, primarily by our registered users who may have searched for their own names in Google. We have received no word from customers that any accounts were compromised.
As a precaution, we suggest changing your MidValley Voice password and monitoring the e-mail account associated with our network for any problems. To change your password, login to MidValley Voice (http://broadcaster.townnews-mail.com/t?ctl=2EEBB1:7AB9130BC0E1C3FBA7ACCC6059EA3D34033306CAEDE0DB61& click the 'My Stuff' tab, then select 'Account Settings.' Then, on the left-hand menu, choose 'Login/Password.'
Please also notify us immediately if you experience problems that are associated with this issue.
To help with your questions and concerns, we will host a live chat this afternoon until 5 p.m. To join, follow this link: http://broadcaster.townnews-mail.com/t?ctl=2EEBB2:7AB9130BC0E1C3FBA7ACCC6059EA3D34033306CAEDE0DB61& After today's chat is over, it will be available for you to read and use for your own troubleshooting, or you can contact us at contact@midvalleyvoice.com.
As always, we respect your personal information and thank you for your continued support for all of our online products.

Well, if I get spam I guess I'll know from where.
ReplyDeleteI sent an email to contact@midvalleyvoice.com and asked that my account be removed. Got a message from Matt 10 minutes later saying it is done.
ReplyDeleteIt is so freeing...
